HAPPY FEET, Therapeutic Massaging Insoles:
It has been estimated that over seventy percent of the American Public suffer from heel pain, ball of foot pain, heel spurs, tired feet, plantar fasciitis, Morton’s Neuroma or a host of other conditions. Spinal injuries, sore knees, twisted ankles, arthritis and improper body alignment are but a few of the conditions that often contribute to foot pain.
That old adage of, “when your feet hurt you hurt all over” is by far the truth. Foot pain is a serious problem and needs to be dealt with early on as the pain only gets worse!
HAPPY FEET Therapeutic Massaging Insoles are filled with pure glycerin which serves as a cushion between your feet and the insole of your shoes. With each step, the glycerin cushions the heel pushing forward to the ball of your foot and continues to flow with each step. This pumping action massages your feet while you walk improving circulation which is especially ideal for diabetics. The more circulation to the small blood vessels can also slow the advancement of Neuropathy.
HAPPY FEET Therapeutic Massaging Insoles are machine washable, guaranteed in writing for six months against any defect, even if you step on a nail! HAPPY FEET insoles are a superior product made specifically for those who suffer foot pain. HAPPY FEET are thin enough to fit in any shoe. Sizes run from a woman’s SIZE (5) five to a man’s SIZE (16) sixteen.
