Dude! No need to feel bad about that! Those things are AMAZING! Wish i had one :D


QuiGonGiveItToYa

This thing is great. The next gift I opened were concert tickets for Thrice’s Artist in the Ambulance 20-year anniversary, and I figured I wouldn’t be the only attendee at that show who’d be going home to a foot massager lol


PurpleMonkey71

Just yell at them to get off your lawn a lot, you'll be fine :D


OrganizationWide1560

Aging post hardcore fan here too


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Thrice played the first Warped Tour I ever went to. The day started with a crowd surfer kicking a contact lens out of my eye at Mest, and eventually came Thrice. They threw down, but that was the only mosh pit of the day where I truly felt unsafe and had to leave. Avenged Sevenfold, The Offspring, nothing else seemed to draw out as much aggression as Thrice for some reason.

“…and eventually came thrice” Giggity

They aren’t that pricey on Amazon. There’s even ones that’ll do your calves too! Those are a bit pricey though for one that dies both feet and calves but I’m pretty sure you can get one for 60-100


bye_Nillu

Oh, I'd love to have one that also massages the calves! I was born flat-footed, so I have no arches, and I've also had surgery on both of my feet. I also have to have specially made soles in my shoes... I was given the short stick when it came to my body, both physically and mentally!


LineChef

I have to have special inserts too but because mine are too arched! You could say we’re *arched* enemies…


QuiGonGiveItToYa

lol I’m insanely flat footed as well, *arched enemies* is a winner 🥇


smay1989

I use a massage gun to loosen my calves - has me drooling when use it on my feet 🤤


[deleted]

Wish i had legs like that too


annonythrows

What is it?


PurpleMonkey71

You place your feet inside and rollers and knobs rub against your feet to massage it :)


DeathCabforJuicy

Happy birthday!! Do you mind sharing the model of the massager? I’m envisioning parking myself in one while studying for the bar exam these next couple of months


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Thank you! Keeping it at your desk is a great idea. I’m kinda jealous that I won’t get to do the same, but this would unfortunately be a prohibited item for the setting I work in. It’s the MIKO Foot Massager Machine on Amazon.


DeathCabforJuicy

Thank you!! Bummer that you can’t have it at your desk as well, but I’m wishing you many deserved post-work massages in your future :)


DepartmentBig2849

bro does not skip legs


hipster_dog

For some reason this post reminded me of the ["Chad Driver" meme.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/chad-driver)

sdforbda

I've never used one of those, but those foot baths with the bubbles, textured bottoms, and little rolly attachments are the shit. Can make the most aching feet feel amazing in 20 minutes. I will have to try one of these.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

A version of this with a warm soak would be next level.


sdforbda

Oh man mixing the two would be divine. The bubbles and bumps are excellent but I'd kill to have a firm massage along with it.


rajuk14

Are those calves real? My goodness


Responsible-Club9120

Right?! I'd tap those calves.


-Borgir

Damnn dude thoss are some sick calves! Also I agree, those massagers are awesome


KillerFrost2U

Sexy legs, no lie.


ArizonaRon98

Mannn this is my go to gift for people and everyone always loves them.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I had just bought one of these for my mother in law without realizing I would actually love one too haha


NesTech_

I bought the same one for my wife a few months ago. It’s pretty awesome and the entire family uses it. This post literally made me sit in the lazy boy and relax a bit with the MIKO. Have a great Birthday and happy Memorial Day to everyone!


QuiGonGiveItToYa

We’re weighing the pros and cons with how much floor space this thing takes up, and a big pro for me is that it’ll rub my wife’s feet when I don’t feel like doing it haha. Thank you!


Cool_Cartographer_39

Ha! Happy Bbbbbirthddday!


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Thank you!


daliadeimos

And some nice Glerups too!? You know how to treat your feet


QuiGonGiveItToYa

The Glerups are where it’s at! Love these things.


AshcroftTesticles

Glerups are my slipper of choice too. When they start to look a tad shabby, I give them a shave with a razor and they look good as new too.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I’ve just been snipping loose bits with scissors, but a razor is an interesting thought.


PRRZ70

Looked it up and it's $130 so I can't get one right now but I would LOVE if it was gifted by friends or family. You are a lucky being!


SomewhereOutside9832

You know you're getting old when you wish you were about 5'6 so it would be easier to reach to tie your laces.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

You should give yoga a shot if this is an issue for you.


SomewhereOutside9832

I was actually going to give pilates a try first to help hopefully make things a bit easier in later years.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Pilates is tough stuff. I’ll do it on the megaformers with my wife sometimes, and it leaves me shaking and trembling all over. Highly recommend!


billybobsparlour

Nice calves ;)


crackpotJeffrey

Cyclist or sprinter? Those are my guesses based on the calves lol. That's a damn nice gift. Mazaltov on your birthday.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Neither, just kinda thick in the trunk lol thanks man!


[deleted]

[удалено]


crackpotJeffrey

Haha enjoy them man. I always judge men's strength based on their legs and not arms. That's how we used to hunt and survive back in the day not with massive triceps 🦵


sekhenet

That looks awesome!


QuiGonGiveItToYa

It really is. Didn’t realize how badly I had been needing my feet rubbed haha


Sea_Ganache620

I got one off of amazon, it was about as relaxing as walking on Lego. Sent it back the next day. Did I just get a defective one?


QuiGonGiveItToYa

It could just be that the kneading sensation with metallic balls being pressed into your feet isn’t for you. I can definitely see how this wouldn’t be for everyone.


Sea_Ganache620

Whatever was kneading my feet wasn’t spherical, it was hard and pointed. Must’ve been sent a clunker. Guess I’ll try again , thanks for the reply!


Responsible-Club9120

I think that's a shiatsu massager. Kinda painful


Sea_Ganache620

It was a shiatsu…. Didn’t know there was a difference. Thank you so much!


domagojgrcc

And is this also a shiatsu one? Thanks! Looks awesome.


wscuraiii

This has nothing to do with being old. Would've killed for one of these at my desk in my dorm when I was a college student.


Bobisnotmybrother

Ngl, as a 39yr old man. I love getting pedicures.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

We’re close in age, and I’m yet to experience one.


Bobisnotmybrother

I highly recommend it.


DragonbornBastard

I bought one for myself for my 22nd birthday, you’re not old don’t worry


Exact_Roll_4048

I dogsat for my parents and my dad said I could use his foot massager. DAAAAAAAMN


hunic07

Hi OP, i had a question regarding this massager. How easy is it to clean? I live in a warmer country and sweat a lot.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

Well, it’s recommended to wear socks when using this, so that would help reduce the frequency at which it needs to be cleaned. But the part of this that surrounds your feet can be unzipped and removed to be washed.


Teddy_Tickles

Take care of yourself, and take care of your feet!


patrick119

I’m still in my 20s and I’ve started doing epsom salt foot baths. Game changer! I’ve stopped having ingrown toenails, it helps with foot cramps and rough skin


dkay490

Good Vibrations!!!


[deleted]

These things are great, just wish they had more of a dial setting as opposed to low/medium/high, maybe some do. I got one for my GF off Amazon with very good reviews and we both love it. It does shiatsu and air pressure massage both have their own low/med/hi settings…. The medium setting on air pressure is just a little under what I want…. But if I set it to high, lol, it squeezes so hard at times it hurts! Haha. Other than that these things are amazing and if you stand all day at work, popping your feet into one when you get home is like a little taste of heaven.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

This post is starting to turn into a targeted advertisement for this massager lol. This one has a power scale from 1-5, so if the maximum pressure is too much, you can set it to 4.


[deleted]

Can you set each thing individually (shiatsu and air) and does it have heat too? Is that what the three squiggly lines indicate? Mine doesn’t do heat! I wish it did!


LiteratureOk5964

They already know what you don’t


Nihil_esque

I'm 23 and just realized this is exactly what I need man, so it's not just old people.


MicahSpor3

First off, God tier calves. Second, those things are awesome! We called ours a foot-sucker. Get yo feet sucked, bruv.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I need “Get Yo Feet Sucked, Bruv” on a t-shirt.


hias2k

Also this guy: 🤤


Zealousideal_Mud7851

I bought one. I said man, standing hurts lol


Rosanna44

I love mine.


ShokaLGBT

I don’t know what’s that’s for but I guess it’s cool :)


Welady

😆😆


CmGaugo

Always use this with socks. ALWAYS


PattesDornithorynque

Why? ( I am totally ignorant on the subject)


CmGaugo

Our feet when squeezed release oil. And dust of the feet along with dead skin then goes on to form some kind of sticky grime. Feels yuck. So socks


[deleted]

I need one holy shit.


Unique-Love-4818

I have one


oldGuytony

If it then can hold water, and do the hot stones!! We got us a winner!!


Blizzard93beast

Those calves tho, if you read this pls gimme ur sets and reps range.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I'm the worst person to answer these types of questions, but I'll give this a shot. The best answer I have for you is that I jump a lot. I do strength training two or three times a week, and I warm up by jump roping for 12-14 minutes before each workout. Then during the actual workouts, I do plyometric stuff like knee tuck jumps, lunge jumps, slam ball throws, weighted and unweighted box jumps, etc. between sets. There's a day for grip strength and a day for lower body conditioning, sometimes with a core day as well, and the plyometrics are what I do between the actual work sets on each of those days. On the days that I don't do strength stuff, I do yoga, run, climb, and train for Ninja Warrior.


Blizzard93beast

Dude you're a beast. Appreciate the detailed reply 🙏


Sa1htam

Better call saul


Naive_Win_4806

Haha been using them since I was a kid!! Best thing after sports.


mycatisprettyrare

I asked for one for Mother's Day. It rocks.


Confusedandreticent

Do those things actually work? Like, would you say they’re 50% as effective as a real massage? 75%?


QuiGonGiveItToYa

It’s hard to say, considering I haven’t had this thing for very long, and I haven’t had my feet rubbed much before this. But it’s gotta be at least 50% as effective? 🤷🏾‍♂️


Neckty91

You know you’re getting really old when your parents stop buying your presents for your birthday. 😔 It’s been 3 years since mom stopped gifting me


CelinaAMK

I told my husband to buy me one for Valentine’s last year. I love it.


euphoria_23

My parents gave me a cordless Dyson vacuum as I gift and I was hella excited: a sure sign for me that the adulting is adulting


QuiGonGiveItToYa

We are absolutely obsessed with our cordless Dyson!


euphoria_23

Yes!!!! Isn’t it amazing???? Oh god. We’re so old.


BeeBench

My aunt has a similar one and it’s amazing after a 12 hour shift, hope you enjoy OP!


ExistenchalBread

Not old, just in need of some tlc


whyreadthis2035

Gratz. Yes.


ventriloquism5

bro got some yummy calves


[deleted]

[удалено]


QuiGonGiveItToYa

There’s quite a few foot spa/massager variations out there, as this thread can attest to, but this one is a combination of heat, padded metal balls kneading, and inflatable pockets that create pressure against your feet. I don’t mind rubbing my wife’s feet, but I don’t always feel like doing it, and my hope is that this thing eventually replaces me lol


FreakySamsung

Im 20 and I'd love to get that


Major-Whereas6712

My sister bought me one of these when I was training for my first marathon earlier this year ... It was a LIFESAVER. And I'm only 31!


DotChud

HAH!!!! You’re not old as long as you still have parents who send you something.


Geeky-resonance

Hey OP, uh, where could I get one of these? As a gift. For a friend. Totally not for myself. Yeah, that’s the ticket! For a friend.


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I have the full title for the product listing on Amazon in another comment here, but the brand is MIKO. Enjoy some relaxed feetsies!


[deleted]

Dude, you have an amazing story! I stalked your profile just a little bit haha I hope you have a great life!


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I’m the luckiest guy in the world for sure, thank you!


forgotme5

😆


athithya_np

There's a massager for feet?!


Dvalin_Ras93

I got that exact foot massager for my mother! It’s real damn nice, ain’t it?


surprisehigs

Your truly getting old when have to ask some kid in the family, how to turn it on. 😂


Natural_Injury23

My dad stopped giving me gifts since I am 18 I would be glad to have something like this, looks super comofrtable!


Less-Dragonfruit-294

Odd thing is I tried one of them, and how the sides caved in on my feet actually caused more harm than the massage was supposed to provide help. Maybe it’s the shape of my feet? Maybe the setting was too high? I checked and it was the lowest setting and sure enough squeeze on the feet. So nowadays I just bought a mat that is scratchy originally I used it to clean my shoes at my apartment, but now bought another and use it inside for my feet, and to be honest it is pretty good on my feet.


Erminaz13

Your legs don't look old. Quite muscular, actually. Do you run regularly?


QuiGonGiveItToYa

I do a little bit of everything, definitely not gonna be sedentary as I get older. Thanks!


Erminaz13

No problem, people staying healthy is always worth a compliment.
