ABSTRACT:
A footwear item includes an elongated sole member, fastening device, and a plurality of spring-loaded massage rods. The sole member includes an upper sole formed with a plurality of upright holes, a lower sole, and a midsole sandwiched between the upper and lower soles. The midsole has a plurality of corresponding chambers that communicate with the upright holes respectively. The fastening device fastens the sole member to a wearer's foot after the wearer has stepped onto the upper sole of the sole member. Each of the massage rods has a lower end retained in the corresponding chamber, and an upper end which extends through the corresponding upright hole and outwardly of the upper sole. The upper end of the spring-loaded rod is depressed downwards against biasing action by the wearer's foot so as to provide massage effects thereto. The magnitude of massage force resulting from the massage rods can be selectively adjusted so as to suit any individual needs.
