The best foot spas
Put your feet up, properly: a warm soak and a massage after a long day on them.
A foot spa is one of those presents that gets used far more than expected, especially in winter. It suits anyone who’s on their feet all day, and it’s a lovely pick for mums and grandmas.
The big difference is heat. Some spas heat cold water and hold the temperature; cheaper ones only keep warm water warm, or don’t heat at all.
What matters
- A heater that warms from cold is worth paying for.
- Check it fits bigger feet.
- Foldable spas store easily.
- Rollers suit firm pressure; bubbles are gentler.
