Dr. Scholl’s Foot Masks For Tired Feet

Delivered in a pack of three when purchased from Amazon, these Dr. Scholl’s foot treatments come in the form of single-use mylar booties that couldn’t be any easier to store or travel with. Throughout their 30 minutes of wear time, the magical mixture inside the booties delivers a deeply soothing and pain-relieving stream of intense heat that reviewers claim feels similar to products like Icy Hot.

The essential oil-infused mixture contains cooling menthol and Epsom salt, which breaks down into magnesium — a mineral that can be absorbed into the skin to relax muscles, reduce swelling and offer pain relief. Real users of these convenient foot masks claim that it’s such an effective formulation that feet feel completely refreshed and restored, even after experiencing severe aching from the day before. For many, the relief persists all the following day, essentially erasing any damage that might have been done from overusing their feet.

For this reason alone you can imagine how many reviewers are claiming that these helpful treatments are essential for travel, especially to destinations where you’ll be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing.

To use, just open the top of each bootie, slide your foot in, secure around the ankles with the attached adhesive tab and enjoy the gently tingling sensation for 30 minutes. Reviewers point out that the tabs are not the most secure, so you could benefit from popping on a pair of fuzzy socks over the bootie if you’re going to be walking around. Then, you just remove and rub the remaining treatment into your feet. Just be sure to avoid using these on broken or compromised skin.

“Miracle workers,” “sweet relief in a bootie,” and “my feet feel brand new” are just a few of the ways reviewers gushed about Dr. Scholl’s foot masks, which you read for yourself down below. If you’re desperate for even more foot care products, we included a few of our favorites up ahead.

Promising Amazon reviews:

“This foot mask is like wrapping my achy feet in a cozy little conspiracy theory- yep, it looks like a tinfoil hat, but for your feet. Quality? Surprisingly great- my feet went from tired and tragic to soft and refreshed, like they’ve been on vacation. It holds up even when I awkwardly shuffle around the house looking like I’m preparing for an alien invasion. (Tip: Dont walk around with them on.) Efficiency? Oh, it works, my feet felt brand new, and I didn’t even have to bribe them with a foot rub. If you’re looking to pamper your tired dogs while protecting them from, I don’t know, government mind control, this mask has you covered literally. Also you will have to explain to your spouse what you’re doing because you definitely look like you lost your mind or found it, no judgement.” — MonkE

″Sweet relief in a bootie. Finally, a decent product that saves the time and effort of a foot soak! When my feet are aching, I grab a packet, slide my feet into the booties, and relax with my feet up instead of flat in a soak. The booties little sticky flaps are not anywhere near as secure as Fort Knox, but I’m forgiving on that as I’m not trying out a tap dance routine or have the desire run a marathon in them. The feeling of heat takes a bit, like about the time I think they may not heat up is about when the warmth starts up. I think one’s ability to withstand the feeling depends on how sensitive your skin is. If you think Icy Hot is a bit too hot, you probably will not be a fan. I find the sensation to be like a minty throat lozenge for my feet, which fits with the ingredient list. While there’s a bit of relief immediately after use, I really notice it the next day. Love this product! Note: If you are allergic to lavender, you may have issues with this product.” — DP

“Miracle workers!! I am morbidly obese and just got done walking 4.5 miles and 10.7k steps around Oia and Fira in Santorini, Greece today. Even though I was wearing some of the most comfortable sneakers ever, my feet hurt miserably. I tried these according to package instructions and now my feet don’t hurt at all and it feels like I never did any walking or stair climbing today.” — Desi

“My husband and I tried these as we had both been saying how dry and achy our feet were feeling. We put them on whilst watching TV. They did not make a mess or drip/leak, and after 10 minutes we took them off, rubbed the excess lotion in, and the results were silky soft and refreshed feeling feet! Highly recommend.” — AG
