COMFIER Shiatsu Foot Massager Review — Heat, Compression & A Daily Dose of Comfort

One thing I’ve learned in my 50s is that comfort is no longer something I push to the side. And if there’s one part of the body that deserves more attention than we ever give it, it’s our feet.
We walk, we stand, we run around, we work, we carry the weight of everything — and yet we almost never think about giving our feet the recovery they deserve.

So let me say it clearly:
A foot massager isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

A few months ago, I reviewed the Mountrax foot massager and I was genuinely impressed. It opened my eyes to how much of a difference a proper foot massage can make to your evenings. So when the COMFIER Shiatsu Foot Massager arrived, I was already curious… and secretly hoping it would surprise me.

This review focuses on what the COMFIER does, how it performs, and my real experience with it. And at the end, I’ll tell you exactly how it compares to the Mountrax.

What the COMFIER Foot Massager Offers

This model is packed with features that aim to recreate that “hands-on” massage feeling:

• Shiatsu deep-kneading rollers

• Compression massage with three intensity levels

• Two heat settings

• Vibration function in the toe area

• Pause function to stop and continue anytime

• Detachable, washable liners

• Fits up to US size 13

My Experience

First Impressions

The first thing I noticed is how compact the COMFIER is. It’s light, easy to move around, and quite cute. It doesn’t look like a medical device, which is a huge plus when it sits next to your sofa like mine does. Sliding my feet in felt natural. The sleeves are soft, and my UK 10 feet had enough space.

Massage Performance

This is where it shines.

The kneading rollers hit all the right pressure points with a deep, satisfying motion that actually feels therapeutic. If you enjoy a proper massage (not just a light tickle), this will hit home.

The compression is even more impressive. On the highest setting, it’s strong — exactly what I look for after a long walk around Bristol or days spent standing. It hugs the feet from the top and sides and helps release tension in a way you feel immediately.

The vibration is gentle and nice to have, though not essential.

Heat Levels

The heat is warm, comforting, and not overbearing. Personally, I use the low setting almost every evening. It’s not sauna-hot, but it’s more than enough to help your muscles relax.

Pause Function

This is one of those small features that makes the experience smoother.
If you need to readjust, talk to someone in the room, check on the kids — you hit pause, reposition, and continue. No need to restart the entire session.

Everyday Use & Maintenance

The more I used it, the more it became part of my routine. A quick 20-minute session while watching YouTube or Netflix genuinely resets my body. And the washable sleeves are a big plus — especially if you use it as often as I do.

What I Loved

• Strong, therapeutic massage

• Beautiful compact design

• Stronger compression than many competitors

• Very easy to use

• Washable sleeves

• Great balance of value and performance

• Perfect size for a living room setup

What Could Improve

• Heat could be slightly more intense for heat lovers

• High compression may be too strong for very sensitive feet

Final Verdict — And How It Compares to Mountrax

After several weeks with the COMFIER Shiatsu Foot Massager, I can say this confidently:

This is one of the best foot massagers I’ve used — and yes, I prefer it over the Mountrax.

The Mountrax is still excellent and I continue to recommend it. But here’s why the COMFIER edges ahead for me:

COMFIER vs Mountrax (My Experience):

• More compact and easier to place around the house

• Design is warmer and more stylish (Mountrax is a bit more industrial)

• Stronger compression — noticeably more powerful

• Massage settings feel deeper and more customisable

• Overall experience is more comfortable and user-friendly

So while the Mountrax remains a great option, the COMFIER simply delivers more — more power, more comfort, and a design that works better in a home environment.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely.
As I often say: a foot massager isn’t a treat you buy once a year. It’s a small daily luxury that makes a big difference to your well-being. Available on Amazon.com (here) and on Amazon UK (here)
