Medi-Beads Foot Wraps

These foot wraps are pretty awesome. I am typing this review with the wraps warming my feet. I am a male with size 12 feet and these wraps fit me well. My 9 year old daughter has used them and they stay on her feet as well. They stretch to fit the foot. They probably would work for size 13 foot as well, but probably be difficult to get on for feet any larger. I charged them together in the microwave for 3 minutes and 30 minutes after putting them on the wraps are still providing heat, but it's fading at this point. Putting these wraps on your feet warms your entire body and relaxes your legs. From a medical point of view the moist heat these wraps provide increases the blood flow in your feet, but in layman's terms they just feel plain good on a cold fall evening.

These slippers are most helpful when your feet are flat on the floor. And in that position, they are quite good. However, due to gravitational pull, any position other than feet-flat-on-the-floor tends to cause the beads to "flow", as Galileo accurately predicted, toward the center of the earth. The other issue is there exists a weak link in the slipper on the top, where you insert the foot, at the point where 'white cloth meets green piping'. This weakness can cause minor tearing (trust me, I know) which will allow beads to fall out should the slipper be inverted. Therefore, one needs to a) develop a proper "technique" for placing the foot into the slippers, and b) place same exercising sufficient caution, or c) have a needle and thread available.

These are the best way to warm your feet with moist heat which is more effective than heat generated from a heating pad. The beads surround your feet with soothing heat. They are not to be used as slippers. I even use them as hand warmers! Am now buying for my daughter who inherited my cold extremities.

Great product. My husband's feet are size 13 and his feet fit (just adjust the beads inside the socks for better fit). Stay really warm for 30 minutes. He wishes they lasted longer, but overall is very happy with them.

I definitely recommend this item for purchase. Had a joint injury and needed to apply moist heat along with physical therapy and this worked perfect! Easy to use, no smell, very soft feel. Only word of caution is to be careful about applying to hot. If you have sensory deficits in your feet you could easily burn then. Otherwise, create product!

I love the fact that you can put these in the freezer if you need cold therapy or put them in the microwave if you need heat therapy. They were a little big for my feet, but I was able to put a rubber band around the toe area to make them smaller for my feet. I'm very pleased with this product!

No matter how long in my deep freeze it never gets cold enough. Weird

Beads started spilling out after the first time I used it.
