Poor Circulation, swelling, neuropathy, Varicose veins, Chilblains, aching legs, Odema, Raynaud's Disease

"For many years I have suffered with painful swollen feet and tired aching legs due to bad circulation and varicose veins. I had given up finding a shoe which might give some relief. The Maseur is a God send and I heartily recommend them. P.S. They also seem to have corrected a back ache which troubled me most days."

"For years I have suffered with poor leg circulation. I am a trained nurse plus a minister's wife, so have had many years of being on my feet day in and out. Although these sandals have been under my nose for years, I did not realize the benefit to my feet and legs until I purchased a pair. After having undergone a leg operation eight years ago, I have experienced so much discomfort, but now at the end of the day my leg feels great and I have had no evidence of a swollen ankle. Much gratitude to your company."

"Our 86 year old client had burning feet and soreness in the lower legs. After wearing your sandals he felt better in just two weeks. You have a remarkable product."

"Nine years ago I began wearing Maseur sandals to eliminate leg aches. They did that and much more in improving circulation, increasing energy levels, and adding vitality to my life. Now I do enormous amounts of walking with no leg pain."

"I rarely have your sandals off my feet. I bought my first pair when I was three months pregnant and actually crying with the pain in my legs from varicose veins. My doctor had no remedy and I had resorted to acupuncture with no relief. I have not had a day of pain since I have been wearing this product."

"After suffering with extremely poor circulation for more than 30 years, due to using Maseur sandals, I am no longer crippled with painful chilblains on my feet and hands. I no longer stumble when walking and my confidence is returning. Thank you, Maseur!"

Having suffered from Nephritis, I have always been troubled with severe edema. My legs were constantly waterlogged. Four months ago I began wearing your sandals and to my delight, the edema has been corrected and to me I have a new pair of legs."

During the past 2 years I have developed an incurable disease, Raynaud's Disease, in my feet which has enabled me to wear socks or shoes of any kind, as my feet then become numb and swell to a degree where I can't walk at all. My doctor couldn't give me advice as to what to do to make my life more bearable. Finally, my wife decided I should try wearing Maseur sandals. Since then I have never been without them. I have been granted special permission by the Hunter District Men's Bowling Association to wear these sandals whilst playing bowls because of my disease. I feel grateful and thankful to your company for my ability to walk and play sport."

"My mother suffers with a lot of pain through poor blood circulation and could not walk. I am pleased to say that since using your sandals my mother has experienced wonderful relief. She says that her legs are so much better that she wears them constantly."

"One year ago I was working with a patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. He had lost the ability to feel or know where his feet were in space. The loss of protective sensation and proprioception can cause balance problems, falls, foot injuries, which could develop into sores that lead to amputation. To help correct his balance and foot placement, I saw your insoles and decided to see if deep sensation fibers would be stimulating enough to help this patient with both problems. The product was the only addition to the established exercise program. The patient was surprised that he felt his feet and that the insoles wee comfortable. The nubs did not cause any prolonged redness nor signs that the insoles were causing breakdown of his feet.

Since that time, I have introduced the use of these insoles to 20 patients, all with the same results. That being improved balance and proprioception. All the therapists on staff have asked that we keep a stock of them to use as needed. We have used the insoles on diabetic neuropathy, stroke victims, dementia patients, total knees, total hips and fractured hip patients. Different degrees of success have been noticed."

Foot aches , Sore legs, Cramps, Calluses, Neuroma, Arthritis

"I bought a pair of your insoles and discovered that half of the pair was missing from the package. I decided to wear one anyway to see if I could tell a difference. YES, I can! I'm 44 years old and have worked retail for 15 years. This was the first time that something actually made my feet feel better!

"Hi! I am a nurse and a high School medical science teacher on my feet all day. I know the importance of good footwear and taking proper care of your feet. I have been wearing Maseur massage sandals for the past 10 years. They are the ONLY shoes I wear. I'm tired at the end of each day, but my feet are no worse for the wear. I don't know how I could go without them."

"I've been wearing your massage insoles for the past three days and I must tell you my legs feel terrific. I work in a very busy law firm and am constantly running . They especially feel good on the stairs. It seems the more pressure you put on them, the better they feel. My feet and legs feel very good at the end of the day!"

"I am in my late 60's and visit a chiropodist regularly for my bad calluses . A friend told me Maseur sandals would cure my condition. At first, the sandals were the worst thing I have ever tried to walk on.....Now they have made my walking so much easier and calluses so much better, and I have only worn them irregularly for two months!"

"It's unbelievable, but a fact, after suffering for close on twenty years with calluses on both feet, a corn on the left, two on my right, and going through painful treatments from a chiropodist, after only three months your sandals have helped me. With their comfort, my corns have gone, calluses almost gone, definitely the best purchase I have made in years."

"With only a couple hours a day of use , the painful calluses on my feet are going away and my feet no longer hurt. I liked the sandals so much that I got the innersoles to use in a pair of expensive Rockport's that were too uncomfortable to wear. Now I can walk miles in those shoes."

" As my work keeps me on my feet all day, and have been suffering with tired, aching legs and feet for a long time. Since wearing Maseur sandals as much as possible, I have had great relief and really hate to take them off."

"Your sandals are a life saver. I have arthritis in my ankles and all the pain went away when I wore them."

"Since wearing your sandals I find my back ever so much better. I can recommend them to any one suffering from arthritis in the body."

"Your massage sandals are one of the best things that have ever happened to me !! Not only do they help my feet and legs tremendously, but they help to get rid of an aching back! I will continue to wear them faithfully." (New York Ballet Star)

I have been dealing with chronic foot pain for years. I often have to simply stop during the day to put my feet up for some relief. Since using your sandals I look forward to slipping them on at the end of the day. They really do live up to your claims of reducing stress and indeed do "put a tingle in your feet." Thank you for providing my tired, sore feet with some much needed relief."

"Use of cheap shoes caused tendon damage in my feet. I found your innersoles to feel better than any other product I tried. They also allow good air circulation, a building up of the tendons and skin on the feet. My feet and ankles have not hurt one day since about a week after I started using the innersoles. NO MORE FOOT ACHES.......THANK YOU!"

"Before using your sandals I got very bad cramps in my toes halfway thru a workout. Now I feel wonderful throughout. Thanks for my painless feet and legs!"

"I used to suffer from painful and reoccurring leg and feet cramps. After wearing your sandals two hours a day for less than a month I saw a fantastic improvement. The past five years with Maseur have been painless and comfortable. Thank you."

"Five years ago I was on the verge of surgery for a neuroma between my toes. It was so painful I could barely walk a few blocks without significant discomfort. Within a few months of consistently wearing my Maseurs, the pain and the neuroma disappeared. Maseru sandals are a trusted friend and companion. My feet sigh with happiness every time I put them on. Thank you, Thank you." Judith Gass LCSW (name printed on request)

Heel pain, Plantar faciitis, Heel spurs,

"I had problems with heel spurs and tried every heel cushion available. After trying the Maseur innersoles in my oxfords I finally found relief from the pain."

"All my foot problems once included fallen arches, tender heels with heel spurs, painful metatarsal arches, a tight sinew running the length of the bottom of my foot, and a little toe bending in above an inflamed bone. I had prescription arch supports, which helped somewhat, but I still went to a podiatrist every 2 to 3 months. The Maseurs had helped a friend with similar problems so I tried them. She was right!! I have had your sandals over one year and never needed to return to a podiatrist. In fact, with the sandals and a few exercises I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FOOT PROBLEMS AT ALL.....NONE!!! Unbelievable!! I have worn them constantly for one year, on the street, at home, as slippers, even in the shower. I couldn't be without them even for a little while. Thank you for making available to us in the US the simple treatment the rest of the world uses."

"I bought your insoles for the purpose of decreasing discomfort of my left heel due to an inflamed spur. they relieved the discomfort a great deal and a smile returned to my face! Whoopee!!"

"Those innersoles I bought from you are phenomenal. My affliction, which may or may not have been a heel spur, plagued me for more than half a year. Now it has completely disappeared since I began using the insole. My feet feel great, and I am planning to train for the Boston Marathon because of it. This is a great product!"

"The past 4 months my right heel has hurt so badly I have begun to cry. It has only been one week since I bought them and I can really say the terrible pain I had is there no more."

"I recently had severe heel pain caused by bone spurs. After using the Maseur insole my feet and heels feel 100% better. Thank you so much."

"I have been having problems with one of my feet, a condition my chiropractor told me was called "plantar fascitis" . I've been through several pairs of shoes this summer, trying to keep the foot comfortable. After using your sandals I woke up this morning pain free for the first time in months. Thank You."

Sciatica, Back pain, Shock absorption, Flat feet, Just make me Feel Better, Back pain, hip pain

"I have had a lot pain in my leg for several years from a sciatic nerve. I tried your sandals as a last resort for the pain. I am writing to tell you how amazed and pleased I am with the result. Thank You."

"I had a pretty bad car accident and now suffer from bad back pain. However, when I wear your sandals, especially after a whole day, I don't notice any back or neck pain and can walk all day long without any aches and pains I also have slight curvature of the spine but since wearing the sandals for the last 6 months my back seems to have straightened slightly."

"I have been experiencing hip and back pain. I began to feel relief of the pain and discomfort after only a few days of breaking in your massage insoles. I now wear the innersoles on a daily basis and would not consider putting on my shoes without them."

I am a security guard at the Garden Sate Plaza. Being that I am on my feet 8 hours at a time, my lower back and legs become very tired and achy. The insoles you sent me work great on relieving lower back pain and stress from my legs. I cannot imagine working another day without them."

"From wearing the sandals about 30 minutes, 3 times a day, my lower back pain has eased immeasurable."

"I wanted to take a moment to express the benefits I have attained from wearing the Maseur sandal for the past fifteen plus years. As a Chiropractic doctor and Naturopathic physician, I am on my feet eight to ten hours a day. It occurred to me that if I continued wearing dress shoes in my clinic, I would probable last about five years. I made the switch to the sandals which I had been wearing casually for several years. I not only felt immediately better at the end of the day, I also had more energy. Eleven years later, I still wear them in the clinic. Thank you for continuing to provide a therapeutic product that many of my patients have benefited from over the years. There is truly no substitute for the Maseur brand."

"Since I had my children my feet have widened and the arch lowered causing tension and tiredness in my feet and legs. My insoles really help revive and keep me going longer."

" I have worn Maseur sandals for some 2 weeks and not only do my feet feel relaxed and refreshed, but, generally, I lost my feeling of tiredness and can walk better and longer."

"My sister broke her leg three years ago and had always had pain. After using your sandals three days the pain was gone. "

"I have been wearing your Maseru sandals now for four years. I feel it my duty to sing their praise. Walking became very painful for me in later years (60+) as I always had very flat feet. All sorts of arch supports did not alleviate my discomfort. Once getting used to your sandals I never looked back at those days. Whenever time permits, I go for my morning walk and do not have to rest I also wear the insoles. I am very grateful."

"I live in my Maseur sandals all day long, everyday. I don't know how I would survive without them."

"It would be difficult for me to walk as well as I can without your sandals. They are good when I come home with tired, aching feet and legs."

"I love your massage sandal! They relax my whole body when I wear them!"

"When I first started wearing the original Maseur sandal, I couldn't figure out why I felt so much better. I couldn't wait to get out of my high heels and jump on those wonderful bumps! There have been times that I put my ankle weights on, so I could get more pressure on my feet. After studying foot (reflexology) charts to learn about the unique foot massage feeling, I think the shoes help my sinus congestion, my neck and my back the most! I get a massage with every step. Thanks so much for making my life and health better!"

"I had a chronic condition in both of my knees with lots of pain and occasional swelling. By sheer coincidence, on our last visit to Sydney, I bought a pair of your sandals and the improvement of my knee condition was dramatic."

" I had horrible shooting pains from my heel to my toes and went to a sports medicine doctor who made me hard and very expensive orthodics. There was absolutely no relieve. Then I discovered your insole and can tell you that I owe my feet and health to your company. You literally saved my foot!"

"Thanks for the comfort your sandals gave me during my recent pregnancy. Having had difficulty with my feet during my years as a trainee nurse, I had expected trouble during the last months, but have found that the even weight distribution and stimulation of the Maseur has prevented the swelling and aches. Thank you."

" I am writing to rave about the Maseur sandals. I wear them all summer, and all throughout the Chicago winters (with socks!). After having two pregnancies back to back, my ligaments got really loose and it often killed my hip, knee and ankle joints just to walk. I tried all different kinds of walking shoes and insoles, and I find the Maseur sandals to be the gentlest on my joints in terms of absorbing shock as I walk. I often wear them on long walks. With their shock absorption for all that extra weight, the adjustable straps for swelling feet, and the cooling, stimulating massage points on the shoes they save me a lot of pain. Please print my letter if it will help others.

Letter to the editor in an Australian Podiatric journal:

Re. Maseru sandals ..Silly or Science? I have been wearing these sandals for the past two years. 1 hour on rising and 1 hour at the end of the day with great benefit in reducing aching legs during the night. Since proving this benefit, I have been advising patients with certain conditions to use sandals in the same manner. There are definite advantages with only few disadvantages, but one must be careful to advise correct use.

Important points to alert patient 1. use only 2-5 minutes at a time until feet accept change. 2. Increase time gradually until they can do 1 hr a.m. and 1 hr p.m. This amount of time is adequate for improvement in most conditions. 3. If patient is likely to be unstable on first wearing, advise re sitting down and marking time until feet accustomed to nodules. 4. Ankle strap advisable if stability needed when walking. 5. Explain that wearing for long periods of time can cause pain in feet.

Conditions which improve after regular use.... 1. Chilblains...must be prior to winter and regularly used. 2. Tired and aching feet and legs. 3. Impaired circulation. 4. Excessive plantar callous. Feet peel on first using. 5. Night cramps. 6. cold feet.

Careful supervision and or constraint over the following conditions: 1. Diabetics 2. open foot lesions. 3. Complicated P.V.D. 4. Cheap Taiwan copy not advisable due to different contour.

Trust this is helpful to interested podiatrists.

IMPORTANT: Should you decide to begin wearing either the massage insole or sandal, it is necessary to go through the therapeutic break in period. Normally, particularly in sedentary people, it may take up to a week of intermittent use for the nodules to do their job. If you feel discomfort it is the nodules doing their job. Continue to wear for longer periods until the therapy is complete. DON'T GIVE UP! ............Once you are accustomed to the sensations of Maseur they will become addictively comfortable!
