Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this as a hail mary for my plantar fasciitis before throwing in the towel and making a doctor appointment. Let's just say... I haven't had to make the appointment!! At the end of a long day walking and standing, I turn on my show and my foot massager. Thank you, Chirp!!!! (Also, I didn't think the heating feature would be a big deal, but it feels INCREDIBLE.)

I am an avid runner (2-3 miles every other day) and the miles have been rough over the years so I am always looking for a hack to keep me moving. Arch pain and the ball of my foot are the primary pain areas. I have compression boots and they are great but take a little time to get on and work the feet a little but does not target them like the sole vibe does. What I liked about the Chirp Sole Vibe was that I could grab it quickly and put a foot on it and use it quickly to relax and sooth the arch and ball of my foot and be done with out a 45 minute ordeal. I like to use it about 15 minutes after a run to let my feet settle a bit. I also grab it when I am sitting on the couch streaming a show or at my desk working. It is very versatile and easy to use just about anywhere you can take a shoe off. Got it out of the box and it charges USB C so it’s universal and charges quick anywhere. They say it has a 3 hour charge with heat level 2 and vibe level 4 which is way more time than I would ever use it. But it would last two weeks on a charge the way I use it. It has an acupuncture style studded side which I like a lot. It feels amazing on the arch of the foot and the ball and the heal! The other side is a “hot stone” kind of raised half round on it. It really puts out the heat and fits the foot perfectly on the arch, ball and heal. It heats up quick and feels amazing. I’m not sure which side I like better. The vibration is strong and I find that the medium setting feels best for me. It has three preset vibration patters they claim refreshes, increases circulation and a deep release. Not sure how they know that but science right…regardless… I like them all but prefer just the standard manual vibration setting to 2. The vibration, heat and acupuncture side all work in tandem to really provide relief to my feet and helps me keep on trucking the miles! Bonus: I have also used this on my shoulder, glutes and calf muscles. The heat it really nice with a low vibration. I did not expect that when I got it but it is a nice plus. Over all this is a really helpful and useful quick action renew tool that is going to get used a lot in the gym. Easy to transport, durable and really makes my feet feel better. NOTE: It is water resistance like sweat ect but not submergible in water. It also has a handy QR code for tips. If your active and like running… This needs to be in your bag!

So I work out at least 3 days a week and i usually do full body. That always includes cardio at the end of my work outs. I also clean buildings for a living up to 6 days a week for a few hours a day. So like many people I’m on my feet and very active, always have been and hopefully always will be. So when I saw this little chirp heated foot massager I had to give it a shot. I’ve heard good things about this company. I can say with confidence that they build their products very well and with a lot of thought and technology in mind. This foot massager works very well with several different settings and options to suit everyone whether you are an athlete like myself or just a hard working person. You can keep it simple with raising the intensity of the vibration and the heat. Though the heat only works on the stone shape side. Which in my opinion makes sense but I would have loved to have the ability to use it on both. You also have preset buttons that are not simply brute forcing the vibration. The massager can be very strong if you are not used to it so it’s great that they implemented the 3 preset buttons. Your feet will feel better after using it but I found that it can be too much at higher levels. Also the hot part kinda hurts my feel but the heat feels great and does soothe the aches so it’s fine. Also I have sensitive feet if I’m honest lol. I tried to use this on my calve and it is a little awkward imo. Battery life is amazing after using for about 5 days and about an hour or so a day. I think most will like this and find it useful but for me it’s a bit underwhelming and cumbersome to use as well. It’s priced fairly for the top notch build quality and it actually helping sore feet and calves. I would definitely like it more if it was a 2 of these in one and could do both feet and/or calves at the same time.

Unboxing: The Moment I Realized My Feet Deserve Better: Unboxing the Chirp Sole Vibe felt like opening a gift from Future Me — the version of me who’s tired of pretending foot pain is “just part of adulthood.” The box is clean, the Slate finish looks way fancier than I expected, and the whole thing screams, “You’re about to treat your feet like royalty.” It’s heavy enough to feel legit but light enough that you don’t feel like you adopted a small appliance. Plug it in, drop your feet on it, and boom — instant “oh wow” moment. Daily Use: My Feet Are Now Divas: I use this thing every day, and my feet have developed expectations. They now believe they deserve heat, vibration, and attention. Honestly, same. After Work: I come home, kick off my shoes, and let the Sole Vibe do its thing. The heat warms up slowly like it’s trying to flirt, and the vibration hits that sweet spot between “spa day” and “my feet are melting into the floor.” It’s the kind of relief that makes you rethink every cheap foot massager you’ve ever bought. During Work (Remote) I’ve used it under my desk, and it’s quiet enough that no one suspects I’m basically getting a foot massage while answering emails. Productivity? Questionable. Comfort? Off the charts. Gaming Sessions: Nothing says “peak luxury” like dropping enemies in a game while your feet are getting pampered. It’s ridiculous. It’s amazing. I regret nothing. Before Bed Five minutes on the heat setting before bed feels like a warm hug for your feet. It’s become part of my nightly routine, right between brushing my teeth and pretending I’ll go to bed early. Build Quality: Surprisingly Fancy for Something You Step On: Slate finish looks sleek and modern. Textured pads feel great even with socks. Doesn’t slide around like it’s trying to escape Controls are simple enough that you can operate them half‑asleep. It’s durable, easy to clean, and doesn’t look like medical equipment — A huge win. Pros & Cons (with personality) Pros: Heat + vibration = instant foot happiness Quiet enough for stealth desk massages Multiple intensity levels for “ahh” to “whoa” Looks good in any room Makes you feel like you’re living a slightly fancier life Cons: Heat takes a minute to warm up. No remote — you have to bend down. Big feet might feel like they’re squeezing into economy seating. Verdict: The Chirp Sole Vibe is one of those purchases you justify by saying, “I work hard, I deserve this,” and then immediately realize you were absolutely right. It’s simple, effective, and way more relaxing than it has any right to be. If your feet are tired, sore, or just dramatic, this thing delivers. It’s the kind of product you try once and instantly think, “Okay, this is staying plugged in forever.”

I have always had foot issues after I turned 35ish. By the time I hit 50, I had arthritis in my feet but also issues ranging from plantar to general arch pain, top of foot pain, etc. Now that I am over 60, I have tried to become healthier. I have always been a walker, but now that I have lost a lot of weight, I am now walking/light running over 30 miles per week and averaging around 15K steps per day. This has caused my feet to really take a beating on a regular basis. I have tried those larger foot massagers, even the foot bath things with massaging and heat for the water. None of them really worked well, but more importantly, they were all big, bulky and unable to really leave out and use regularly. When I saw the Chirp, I must admit I was a bit skeptical, especially when I looked at the size it was going to be. Unboxing was interesting. This thing is solid, built extremely well and sturdy, much more so than I expected. It has weight to it, but it needs to so that you can put weight on it. It has a buttery smooth rubber coating that is solidly on the device. There is no chance of this coming off, getting loose or cracking. It has two distinct sides. One side has raised nubs that are made to fit the foot but as I will state in a minute, I also use it on my ankle, calves, knees and thighs. The other side has what is call the “Hot Stone” side. It is basically a roughly ½ inch raised 1-inch large nub that is used to push the heat into anything using that side. There are 3 levels of massage intensity. These are all high-quality massaging intensity. There are two levels of heat. The heat on this thing is amazing! It really heats up, more so than any other foot device with heat that I have ever had. Let me tell you, your feet may be tough, and you can take the heat on them, but I love the higher heat when I am doing my calves, back of knee and back side of my thigh. I also love to lay the heat side on the top of my ankle with a light vibration. It really helps to bring relief after a long walk/run combo. It comes with 3 pre-defined “programs”. They are: Refresh- for general foot pain and soreness; Circulation- Stimulates Blood Flow; Deep Release- Release tension is muscles and tendons. I really like all three, but I do tend to up the massage levels if I want more than the program has. Each of the programs oscillates differently for the variety of refreshing massage and heat. I have even held this on my back of my next and it is wonderful. I think the key for this device is the size and ease of use and I can easily store it beside my chair out of the way, and you don’t even know it’s there. This ensures that you use it! I would highly recommend this to others. I have used this every single day/evening since I got it. It charges quickly via USB-C.

I quickly came to appreciate the foot massager’s dual‑sided design and portability. The textured kneading side provides broad muscle stimulation and, for me as someone with foot neuropathy (with symptoms of tingling, numbness, and burning pain) it feels like it activates thousands of nerve endings in my feet. The heated “hot‑stone” node side delivers focused warmth to sore spots, which my foot soles responded to immediately. The sensation reminds me of walking on sand: a gentle, grainy pressure that creates a calming, “feel‑good” relaxation effect. After each session, I notice better balance and an overall sense of well‑being. The Chirp Sole Vibe Heated Foot Massager is compact, easy to carry, and simple to use under a desk at home, at work, or while traveling. You just roll your foot back and forth. My wife, who spends much of her workday on her feet, said the combination of heat and vibration noticeably eased pain in her arches and heels. Battery life runs about 40 minutes per charge, depending on heat and vibration settings. A full recharge takes roughly one hour via USB‑C. I typically use the first 20 minutes on one foot and the remaining time on the other. The LED indicator is straightforward: pulsing green while charging, solid red when low, and solid green when sufficiently charged. A charger isn’t included, but that’s hardly an issue since most of us already have plenty. Additional Notes: - Vibration & Heat: The motor is strong, offering four vibration levels (I preferred level 2) and three preset routines; (1) Refresh (general foot pain), (2) Circulation (stimulates blood flow), and (3) Deep Release (muscle and tendon tension). Heat has two settings, high and low; High worked best for me. - Movement: Especially when using higher vibration speeds, the unit tends to “walk away,” so it’s best to adjust vibration intensity settings while your foot is on the device. - Foot Care: We often neglect our feet despite how essential they are for mobility. Regular foot massage has proven health benefits, and this device makes it easy to build a daily routine. It’s simple, enjoyable, and, as far as I have experienced, genuinely good for your feet and your overall well-being. Verdict: 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommended.

The Chirp Sole Vibe is a nice portable heated foot massager. • Unboxing – Quick with minimal packaging. I would recommend plugging in the foot massager with the provided USB-C cable prior to use to ensure an adequate charge. It comes with a quick start guide which shows a detailed device overview with each button labeled and a brief explanation as well as a more detailed how to use section which further explains how to power on/off, what the power LED colors mean, vibration controls, heating controls, how to check the battery level, and maintenance recommendations. There is also an included QR code on the last page which takes you to the Chirp website where you can select the device and watch an introduction video. I didn’t realize how versatile the massager was until I finished watching all the additional usage videos (ie: arch roll, heated plantar fascia scrape, vibrating calf stretch, etc). • Material – Made out of a soft rubber which should offer good durability and easy cleaning. • Use – I have really enjoyed using this foot massager. I think my favorite program setting is either Refresh (general foot pain/soreness) or Circulation (stimulates blood flow) with heat turned on. Both the acupressure surface and hot stone surface are great, but I find myself using the hot stone surface more often as it is the only side that heats up. It has small fins that help keep it stable under your foot. I find it easiest to use and most comfortable sitting down rather than standing. • Warranty – Comes with a 1-year parts and labor warranty. Overall, I think this is another quality product by Chirp. I have really enjoyed using it and recommend it to anyone with foot discomfort.

So the concept is good, but there are too many other issues where this just misses the mark. There are always positives, so I will start with those. The device feels well put together. It's rubber / silicone covered so it appears to be built for durability. Charge lasts 45 to 50 minutes and of course this is dependent on what strength you use the vibration and or heat settings. It also has preset vibration and heat settings you can choose from. Re-charging does not take long and when it is on charge you cannot use the device. It does say you can use this for other parts of your body and that is absolutely true. I used it on my hands, calves and back of my neck. The vibration levels are very much effective and comes with 4 different levels. Two levels of heat are also available. You can use heat and vibration together or separately. There are two sides to the device for foot massage. One is "acupuncture" and the other is "hot stone" these are exaggerated. So what I did not like was the following....there is no app for this. This was a huge drawback for me. So everytime you want to change anything you have to do so mmanually. When in vibration mode, it isnt easy to keep this in one place, it's hopping all over the place especially on higher vibration levels. The heat isn't anything to brag about. It gets semi warm at best. As i mentioned before the stone and acupuncture claim is far from either. The concept is ok, but it needs several enhancements. Until that happens, I unfortunately would not recommend this.

I rate this Chirp Sole Vibe 4-stars, but by an inch, not a foot. It’s an enjoyable, useful warmup and recovery tool but the advertised features don’t fully meet my expectations. It has other usability quirks too and this combination hobbles it from being a 5-star product in my mind. Here’s my praises and criticisms with its features and user experience. FEATURES AND “FOOTPRINT” The Sole Vibe is feature packed, but inexplicably, there is no app remote control (or a physical one). For a product that lives on the floor, it’s sorely missed. I’m not old, but youth has passed me, and bending down to turn off a device or change a setting during use is a chore and unwelcomed interruption. All my other powered recovery devices have one so its absence here is huge miss, though not a fatal one. Admirably, the Sole Vibe does strive to be unique and is more talented than traditional foot rollers. This is evident just looking at its top and bottom, each with different textures for dual use. One side has a bulge in the center that Chirp refers to as the “hot stone.” It’s designed to tame tight arches. While it’s called “hot,” it’s more of a lukewarm to my feet. It’s a huge disappointment for me with heating being one of Sole Vibe’s marquee features. I’ve experienced hot stone treatments at spas, and this isn’t close. I feel the heat with my hands but it’s not hot enough to effectively penetrate my feet. I’m doubtful it has any therapeutic value. If the heat doesn’t interest you, no worries. It must be turned on. A button offers a “low” and “high” setting. It takes a couple minutes reach the top temperature and only works on the “hot stone” side. The reverse side has traditional, yet, distinctive, foot massager pebbly pressure prongs. Chirp refers to this area as “acupressure,” but I’m not completely sold. I associate acupressure with “therapeutic,” and this side of the Sole Vibe feels more relaxing than poking of pressure points. Where all the foot massagers I own bulge out in the center, the Sole Vibe is cupped inward. I can’t say this is an improvement, but it’s not ineffective either. The prong lengths vary from very short length at each end and transitions to longer ones in the center. This layout might have an advantage but it’s hard for me to tell because the prongs are not especially stiff and lack that “hurts so good” feeling that tells me I’m targeting my tight arches or stiff heels. The Sole Vibe has an exceptionally gentler feeling than an average foot roller, which some might appreciate. True to its name, I think it relies more on vibration than pressure to revitalize the foot. Both sides of the Sole Vibe’s foot placement area measured about 4” wide. My feet are small for a guy so they have plenty of room. My guess is the Sole Vibe comfortably accommodates all but the widest adult feet. Four fins on the Sole Vibe keep it from rolling 360 degrees since each side is unique. Smartly, these fins double as an ersatz muscle scraper when hand pressing the Sole Vibe to the foot. The fins flex so applying muscle is required to get any feeling more than a tickle. But it works, and you can add in some light vibration too as a bonus. While the arches are an obvious target, I especially like using around my Achilles’ Heel because it’s flexible and gentle. If you want a tamer experience, use the wide edges of the Sole Vibe instead. All the Sole Vibe’s controls are on the side. This includes power, heat for the hot stone, vibration, and pre-set programs. It also has a USB-C port for charging and an LED battery life indicator, which is activated by short pressing the power button. It’s stingy with information though only alerting the user that there is enough battery available for a typical routine or it’s below 20%. A premium device with a non-replaceable battery should have a more precise battery level indicator. Chirp says charge time from empty to full is 6 hours. The button layout is familiar but in use it’s awkward. I find all but the light blue “refresh” program button hard to see except under direct light. While the buttons are backlit, they don’t activate until the Sole Vibe is powered on and vibrating. I don’t find this a great user experience. I wonder why Chirp didn’t program the power button short press that activates the battery life indicator to turn on the button backlights too. This is another “human factors” design flaw to me. MY EXPERIENCE I consider myself active, doing either a 10K brisk walk or 5K run most days. My feet tell me to add in daily life too. I used manual and powered rollers like this to get my feet, ankles, and calves limber for years. To this end, I enjoy Sole Vibe because it’s multi-talented. The “hot stone” bump does fast work tenderizing my arch muscles and tendons, while the “acupressure” prongs relax my heels and sides. I do prefer more aggressive spikes than the Sole Vibe has, but it does the job fine. Surely these tamer prongs will be more comfortable to a wider audience because the stiffer ones do hurt and when used improperly can cause more problems than they solve. While I term the Sole Vibe as a roller, it’s actually a rocker. I find it more natural to use than are roller because it prevents me from overextending my foot. In that vein, I’m confident using it standing up because I know it won’t slip out from under me. By using it this way I can apply more pressure on the prongs to attain the feeling I prefer and think is most beneficial to ready my feet for a productive run or walk. This changes, however, when I add in vibration. Four levels are available, from barely there to overpowering. Level 2-4 are so potent the Sole Vibe jumps around and it feels imprudent to use while standing. These are “sitting only” in my book. For standing though, the lowest setting is an enjoyable combination to hitting the right pressure points. This brings me back of a remote app. No matter what the vibration setting the Sole Vibe shuffles on its own. That’s just physics. But it’s awkward when changing feet since the Sole Vibe wanders without a foot holding it down. It would such a better experience if I could pause the Sole Vibe in app before changing feet. The downside of the rocker is foot movement is limited to about 1/3 of foot. So, if you are used to rolling from arch to back of heel that’s not possible here. I roll my arches then my heels. It does require an extra minute or two but it’s not wildly inconvenient and I think the pros of the rocker beat the cons easy. The “hot stone” bump hits the arch exactly where it should. I use this side sitting down only because I don’t want to apply too much pressure and end up bruising it. Most of the time I just let it sit on the stone in one of the middle vibration settings for a couple minutes and I’m ready to go. In addition to the straight vibration three vibration pattern pre-sets are available by hitting their respective button on device. These are deep release, circulation, and refresh. Line drawings on each button depicts the vibration rhythm. For example, circulation mode looks like an upside down “V” to indicate its accelerating then decelerating vibration. These are nice for a quick massage. I haven’t used them much yet but see myself incorporating them into my recovery routine because they are one button and effective. These modes can be used on either side. In these cases, heat is automatically on for the stone side but can be disabled or increased. Aside from feet, the acupressure side’s cup fits calves and upper thighs well too, at least mine. Although I have a percussion massager for these larger muscle areas sometimes, I apply the Sole Vibe to these areas instead to save time. At the highest vibration level its competent to get these zones flexible if I’m not too tight. BOTTOM LINE I enjoy the Sole Vibe’s features and how they release tension in so many places. While I’m disappointed the heat function isn’t hotter and that it’s awkward to use at times, it’s still a solid tool that accomplishes what it set out to achieve. No matter what your day is like, if your feet hurt I think the Sole Vibe is a good way to wind them down.

I've been using the Chirp Sole Vibe for a little over a week now. When I'm at work, I'm on my feet about 50% of the time and sedentary the other 50%. However, lately, I've been on my feet quite a lot so I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to try this product. On top of that, I occasionally suffer from mild metatarsalgia in my right foot, so this product really had my attention from the get-go. In terms of the build quality, it is exceptional. Practically the entire body of the Sole Vibe is constructed from a high quality silicone lining that not only makes it feel indestructible if dropped, but it's also very soft and comfortable against your skin. I love the choice of silicone since it's more hygienic and more resistant to bacteria than other materials like plastic. The buttons feel very solid to the touch and provide pleasant tactile feedback when pressed. The design also seems practical for most average sized feet. The side fins, which are used for scraping and stabilization, have just the right balance of flex and rigidity to perform these tasks effectively. My size 10.5-11 standard-width feet fit perfectly on both the acupressure surface and the hot stone surface. While the design and build quality are very good, the Sole Vibe's core function is where it fell a bit flat for me. After using it for about a week and a half, my overall impression is that it's just ok. I tried the refresh mode, circulation mode, deep release mode, used the rocker fins for shin and plantar fascia scrape, and also used all the different levels of heat and vibration. There was nothing that really stood out to me which made me say something akin to, "Wow! This feels so therapeutic on my feet!" or "It feels like I'm getting a deep massage on my foot!". It basically just felt like a device vibrating underneath my foot (with varying degrees of intensity). I even went to their website to perform the demonstration exercises to ensure that it wasn't a lack of operational understanding from my end. By the way, the QR code on the instruction booklet never worked for me on my Android phone (it's supposed to take you to the demonstration videos). I had to actually visit their website on my PC's browser in order to view the demonstration videos. In any case, it did feel somewhat pleasing after a full day of walking at work but there just wasn't ever that "wow" moment for me. I made sure to securely position my foot on either the acupressure or hot stone surface and tried putting different amounts of pressure onto the surface to see if I could find better success. I did this in combination with varying degrees of vibration levels and heat levels. Most of the time, it just felt like my foot was vibrating with some mild bouts of pleasure. I think that if you suffer from a more serious case of aching feet or spend an excessive amount time walking each day (e.g. 20k to 30k steps), you could very well have a much different experience and find significantly more relief than I did. I think, for now, I will be packing this with me on trips where I know I will be doing a ton of walking (e.g. A week at Disneyworld, Euro trip, Smithsonian Tours) to see if I get better results. I must say, I do like that it's very easy to charge with it's USB-C port conveniently located on the side of the device. This makes it a suitable travel companion. However, I do wish that some type of travel case would have been included. Although, I didn't have amazing results from the Sole Vibe, I really do think that this is one of those "your mileage may vary" types of products, depending on your particular lifestyle, foot anatomy, and any existing foot conditions. Considering that Best Buy offers a 30 day return policy, I think giving it a try is a no brainer if you're looking for foot relief.

The Chirp Heated Foot Massager packs quite the punch in a very compact form. I walk, a lot, and often have foot pain – I don’t have an actual diagnosis regarding my foot pain, but I can tell you this makes a difference. First, it’s small and light, lighter than I expected. It’s also very powerful! The vibration fills the whole room – not in a loud sense but in a movement sense. I can hear the end tables vibrating when I use it. The heat is quick, gets warm fast and feels nice. There are different modes on the side along with the charging port. I really like the 1st mode which looks like a wavy line. It also has different levels of intensity. I imagine I might need to step outside to use the higher intensity levels as it does rattle the room. Charging was easy, taking about 2 hours to reach full charge which you can tell from the slow blinking green light to full green light. Rolling this along the bottom of my foot feels wonderful and relieves the pain that I get on the upper bottom of my foot. This is a great tool that I will definitely keep using. It’s not limited to your feet either! I used it on my lower back, and it felt great! I appreciate the compact size and powerful vibration – it’s worth having!

In the box you will find the massager, USB-A charging cord and a quick start guide. There are three preset programs: Refresh, Circulation and Deep Release. There is also a button for low and high heat levels. The heat is only for the hot stone ball on the smooth side and will not heat the acupressure surface. There are also four vibration levels. The preset levels all have their own vibration levels preprogrammed, so if you adjust vibration will in a preset mode you will exit the mode. The massager should only be cleaned with a damp cloth (not a paper towel) so that you don’t damage the surface. Make sure you have clean feet before using the unit. Others will thank you. The floor also need to be clean. The acupressure surface did nothing for me. The prongs are too small to be very effective. Plus I like the heat. The hot stone surface side was better. The heated ball feels nice on your instep. Intensity of massage varies and most are too little to be effective. You have to keep adjusting your foot placement. If your feet are very sensitive this will probably work for you. Mine are not. I found this massager just okay and not really beneficial. I am not on my feet all day at work and that could make a difference. It does feel nice on arthritic toes. If you want to adjust the massager you will need to pick it up as it is hard to adjust on the floor. And it jumps around the floor if it gets loose. Charging was fairly quick and the unit lasted about 50 minutes on various modes. We have all used it several times and the consensus is that the unit is just okay.

I recently had a chance to try the Chirp Sole Vibe Heated Foot Massager. Here is my honest review: The first thing you should do taking it out of the boxes start charging it with its provided USB-C cable, the second thing you should do is read the instructions. You might learn a thing or two. The foot massager itself weighs maybe a couple of pounds and has a textured “acupressure surface” on one side and a “hot stone surface” which heat up, on the other. The whole thing is made up of like a rubber silicone material. This device features different buttons, you have the power button, a heat level button, the USB-C charging port, a vibration level button with four levels of vibrations that get more intense the higher level you go. As well as different program buttons, one is called Refresh, another is called circulation, and the last is called deep release. What all this means is you turn it on you put it underneath your foot and it starts vibrating, some people will like this, the only thing I would change on this device as I wish it had moving parts instead of just vibrations. For example, have like two little balls that move around in circles, giving your foot a massage. But like I said, some people might prefer the vibrations.

I am very happy with this foot massager from chirp. I am a huge fan of the chirp products and the relief they provide. I do not have any specific issues with my feet like plantar fasciitis, etc. so I cannot speak to relief for specific conditions, but I am a busy mom on my feet all day and by the end of the night, my feet need some relief! After I put my kids to bed, I love to use this while I sit on the couch to take a break. I was very surprised at how powerful the massage is with such a little product. It makes my feet much lighter and relaxed. I probably prefer the acupuncture side best but both are great and I love the option to add heat as well. The battery life is really impressive. I have been using this for about two months and so far I don’t have any issues with it and would recommend it!

The battery doesn’t last as long as i would like, it is pretty easy to use and the heated stone is my favorite.

5 stars - Really impressed. I bought this to help with plantar fasciitis and it has made a big difference. My feet feel revitalized after just a few minutes of use. Easy to use and well worth the money. Highly recommend.

it was nice but not as powerful, easy to use but still wish it was more powerful

The Sole Vibe heated foot massager combines 3 components: heat, vibration, & targeted pressure. It’s presented as an AiO solution for tired, aching feet & legs. Using so-called PulseWeave technology, NOT to be confused w/pulse wave technology (or acoustic wave therapy) which has been clinically tested & proven to work on plantar fasciitis & heel pain, etc., the Sole Vibe delivers heat & vibration in an effort to boost blood flow, relax muscles, & relieve pain while you sit or stand & roll the device over the desired area. You can keep the device at or under your desk or store it in your workout bag for faster foot relief after a walk or run, when & where you need it. The <2 lbs. portable device contains dual-sided surfaces with a “Hot Stone” ball on one side & a textured “Acupressure” surface on the other. The Hot Stone side contains a heated, bulging disk intended to help melt tension & relax stiff connective tissues. The idea is to press the protruding ball to into sore, stubborn spots, knots, arches, & heels for slow, penetrating, soothing comfort. On the other side is the textured, knobby, Acupressure surface which is designed to provide individual pressure pts. to stimulate the whole foot & revive tired arches & heels. This side does not emit heat. As for the vibration component, there are 3 main buttons that offer 3 preset vibration patterns/programs as follows: -Refresh: For general foot pain & soreness: light blue button w/short-amplitude wave -Circulation: For stimulating blood flow: ‘V’-shaped medium blue button w/oscillating acceleration/deceleration -Deep Release: For tension release in muscles/tendons: dark blue/purple irregular wave pattern Then there’s a 4th vibration button that allows you to choose from 4 different speeds/RPMs. But the vibration pattern doesn’t vary, only the speed. And w/all 4 vibration buttons, you can choose 1-of-3 heat options: no heat, low heat, or higher heat. Form Factor: The Sole Vibe has good build quality. The slate blue silicone-coated device looks like a dumbbell or portable BT smart speaker. Its soft, pliable coating is a rubber-like polymer that’s tough, durable, water-repelling, & resistant to mold growth. This coating can w/stand the heat generated in the bulging hot stone of the massager w/o melting or breaking down. Knocks on the Hot Stone surface’s 2 heat levels: I’d call these 2 settings “low” (113º F.) & “medium” (131º F.). Even the higher temp doesn’t feel hot enough for my feet. So, to call it a “hot stone” is a bit of mktg. hyperbole. Perhaps Chirp design engineers were concerned that the silicone wrap might eventually degrade w/higher temps or that some user would claim he somehow burned his foot if they went any warmer? Regardless, I think Chirp played it safe on the heating element. Too safe. But if you have very sensitive feet, perhaps you’ll find the higher heat setting warm enough. Knocks on the Acupressure surface: Perhaps the distribution of the knobs is too densely concentrated &/or the knobs aren’t as pronounced or tall enough to create sufficient ‘acupressure’. Whatever acupressure pts. Chirp was going for here, we weren’t feelin’ it. Whether from the heated hot stone side or the knobby acupressure side, our expectation was that we’d feel something akin to the “good pain” we feel when we use an IT band roller on our hip muscles, quads, & glutes. Instead, it felt like a bit of a nothingburger when targeting tight connective tissue for fascial release & increased blood flow in my low arches & hardened heels. Ditto for my wife. Even when I used the Sole Vibe in the handheld mode & pressed 1 of the fins into my arch just below the ball of my foot at the top vibration speed, I didn’t enjoy the after effect of all the vibration in my hand, which felt as though it absorbed far more vibration than my arch. The only real comfort I can pt. to was when I set the device on the highest heat & vibration settings (2 & 4, resp.) & placed the roller under my calf as I sat on the floor & rolled my calf & Achilles over the roller. For me, that dual max combo setting is just the entry-level threshold for any worthwhile sensation. Everything else is just too weak. In fact, 1 of the biggest disappointments w/this device is that none of the 3 preset vibration programs allows for any speed adjs., all of which seem to be preset at a very low RPM & minimal impact. I would’ve liked to have been able to try all 3 preset variable vibration programs at much higher speeds. Perhaps they would’ve been more effective. But I’ll never know because the only preset that allowed different speeds was the 1 lone preset that provided zero variability/fluctuation in the massage pattern. In fairness, as for the 3 different oscillating presets/programs, one setting that provided marginal comfort is the passive, hi-heat setting w/o vibration. I just applied more downforce & slowly rocked the sole of my foot forwards/backwards over the semi-hot stone in the vibrationless mode. This gave me max control to try & methodically work out the tendons & ligaments on the bottom of my foot. But I can get this w/a traditional manual roller. Ergonomics: The control panel layout on the top side of the device when in standing mode is ok except that the helpful button backlighting doesn’t illuminate until I long press the device to fully power it on. It would be much more user-friendly if I could just short press the power button & see the backlit buttons which would allow me to pre-select my desired settings from the 5 button options before turning on the unit. This would also save battery life as I wouldn’t be turning on the battery-draining default vibrating action of the device until after I’d selected my desired options. For ex., sometimes I want only to activate the passive hot stone to roll over w/o any vibration. Why must I turn on the default vibration & then turn off the vibration just to use the hot stone for manual foot rolling? App: There’s no app, but we don’t miss it. The tactile buttons on the end of the device work fine for us. Whether we’ve been for a brisk walk or a routine 5k run, it’s always good, whether you’re sitting or standing, to reach out or reach down, & stretch your back, shoulders, quads, abs, & core if you need to change from 1 setting or preset to another. Battery: The battery lasts 3 hrs. at the max combo setting of vibration level 4 & heat level 2. We like that it comes with a USB-A-to-USB-C charging cable. Although it has an LED battery life indicator which you can activate by short pressing the power button, other than a flashing green light during charging, the only display is a solid green light indicating the unit is anywhere from fully charged down to just 20% remaining charge & a red warning light indicating the battery has been depleted below 20%. Given this device’s charge time is a whopping 6 hrs. for a fully depleted battery, a battery life % indicator isn’t an unreasonable expectation, esp. at this price pt. Cleaning: Although this device is water-resistant, it’s not waterproof; so, you should never immerse or submerge it in water. Use a damp cloth & no alcohol to clean. Tutorials: The QR code in the quick-start guide takes you to Chirp’s website where I watched a worthwhile 3-min. video tutorial + 8 useful <30 sec. video clips for targeted applications. Conclusion: The Sole Vibe could perhaps provide some limited relief as a warmup or recovery tool for some desiring mild foot massage. While I enjoy the sensation of this device for light calf & Achilles use & will keep it for that, I don’t feel this is a robust enough device, nor is it designed & engineered to provide what’s required for plantar fasciitis relief in my arches, heels, & soles. For that, I use a competing device that instead grinds deeper w/significantly greater penetrating impact & w/less superficial surface-level vibration. As for the Sole Vibe serving as a foot massager/roller after I’ve stood all day doing computer work via my raisable electric desk &/or after my routine 5k run or walk, I’m unable to derive tangible, meaningful foot relief from the Vibe. The only experience worth noting was when I sat down on the floor & rolled my calf muscle overtop the device while it was at the highest heat & vibration setting. But for a deep tissue foot massage that works out knots & tight fascia or provides relief to tendons & ligaments in the soles of my feet, it's not about RPMs, speed, mild heat, or vibration patterns in a self-contained foot roller. Real relief comes more from powerful devices engineered to provide focused, percussive, penetrative action, which this foot roller/massager simply isn’t designed to produce.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this foot massager, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised how well it works. For some reason, it’s smaller than I expected, but it is just for one foot after all. But don’t be fooled by its small size, it’s got a powerful motor. The exterior seems very rugged, too, and is covered with a durable rubber. It’s very simple to use. Just long-press the power to turn it on, then you can manually adjust the vibration through four levels and the heat through two levels. Note the heat is only on the smooth “stone” side and not the textured “acupressure” side. There are also three preset programs you can select that have different pre-programmed variations in the vibration and heat. These are great since sometimes the variation helps my feet much more than a steady vibration. As I mentioned, the motor is very strong and sometimes the highest level is almost too much. I’d rather have it be too strong, though, than not powerful enough. The heat setting works surprisingly well and gets nice and hot on the highest setting. It probably depends on your type of flooring, but I’ve noticed that it does tend to move around a little at the higher vibration settings, and I have to wrangle it back into position. The battery life seems to be great, even when using the heat setting. The documentation says the battery should last about 3 hours at heat level 2 and vibration level 4, which is the maximum for both. I’ve never used it for more than a couple of hours, then I put it on the charger when I’m done. It just uses a standard USB-C type connector. The Chirp has been a great addition to my routine after some long days on my feet. It has definitely helped relieve and soften those aches and pains that accumulate. Now, I just wish I had two of them so one foot doesn’t have to wait its turn!

This massager has been extremely useful to soothe my sore feet. It is a soft rubber with two sides to test your foot or place on your arm. One side has small bumps and the other has one large bump in the center. This side is the heated side with two different gear levels. It doesn't get very hot, just warm enough to feel soothing on my sore feet. There are four levels of vibration power and I use the 2nd one. This felt perfect and not over powering. Along with the strength modes there are three types of massage modes. One gradually increases in strength, drops to the original strength then starts increasing again. The second one ramps up then down. The third one is more of a pulsating mode. I really liked the pulsing mode and have been selecting this with the 2nd heat mode. It charges using a USB C cable which is very convenient seeing as I can just use my phone/tablet charger. Battery life seems pretty good. I have been using it for about 30 minutes without needing to charge it immediately but put it to charge overnight for the next usage.
