Foot Sack

Hi, love the idea of this but after a small amount of use in my classes, the hacky sacks began leaking. Looking closely they leak plastic beads and I bought nine. So I'm not happy with the environmental impact. A bit disappointed, sorry!

After using the Hacky sack with the sole mate, I realised it is more fun with others, so brought a second solemate and Hacky sack to join in the partner activities and extra fun

good

I bought the full pack of products and I cant wait to start seeing the results! It arrived today :)

Love this foot hacky sack, daily fun for me and my partner.

I leave my Hack Sack under my work desk as a reminder to do some foot exercises throughout the day. I find that it provides great feedback when I press or try and press each toe joint into the Hacky - to what movement is available or restricted. And as I am playing around, I can feel where the restriction/tightness is lightly lightly hold the toe joint on the tacky and wriggle a toe or toes to which I get a release in my foot which feels amazing.

I started using the foot sack a little over a week ago. Ive just been using it as a ball to press my foot into while standing. I’m a reflexologist and a structural reflexologist who recently learned to work the anatomy train, the line of fascia that runs from the bottoms of the feet, up the back of the legs, the sacrum and spine, shoulders, back of the neck, over the scalp and on to the eyebrows by standing on a ball with one foot, pressing in a pulse like action or leaning into the ball with the foot for sustained moments for a total of 90 seconds. Before you start, you stand and bend over to notice the sensations in the back side of your body, and how one hand may seem to reach farther than the other. I noticed that my left hand reached farther than less than my right and I had tension in the backs of my legs, hips and spine. I started with the left foot first, pulsing my foot unto the ball and found super tight, stiff sore areas in the arch, heel and ball of the foot. I pushed on tight sore spots and held for up to 10 seconds on those spots. I moved the ball around to get all areas of the arch and heel and a place or two under the ball of the foot for a total of a minute and a half. I retested by bending over again and found my left hand reached further than my right and the tension in the backs of my legs, my hips and my back were less tight. I repeated the sequence for my right foot and found a lot less tension in the back of my body afterwards than when I started. We also tried using a tennis ball in this class, which could be more intense in a few places, but the foot sack doesn’t roll away suddenly, and confirms to the shape of your feet, so it works much better than a tennis ball in the heel and ball of the foot and is quite effective fir the arch. I have been using the ball daily and the tight sore areas in the arches, notably the left foot which had a previously shifted cuboid bone for years, up to 3 years ago when I had structural reflexology, have lessened. I just bought a dozen of the balls first clients to purchase and have detailed for them on how to work this particular anatomy train of fascia in my most recent email newsletter.

A good foot sack

I Love these TFC Foot sacks 💚💙. Well priced and great quality ( i did shop around and compare 😬 ) , my podiatry patients luv them . Such a great educational tool for young and old .
I started off with rolled up socks but definitely prefer the foot sacks for practicing my Blue belt flow. Keep in mind they are firm to start with, but with time and practice they do softer up, and it does get easier.
Love picking them up with my toes and throwing them at my kids, practicing flows with them on my head and improving my hand eye coordination with the ”flat, back, cup” routine s too .
Thank you 🙏🏻 TFC 🤩

All 3 products are wonderful and very reasonably priced tools ro add to my foot strengthen kit. Also love The Foot Collective advice and help on strengthening feet for a healthier happier version of myself.
Highly recommend

Fun

Love the quality and instructional videos. My feet thank you!

As a Physical Therapist, I have used various balance tools and exercises for years. I love the combo of the SoleMate kit, and the different variety of exercises of all levels. The 2 halves of the SoleMate let me have one to demonstrate with while my client is one the other half. Love the accompanying videos, very creative drills!

Thank you for The Foot Collective, it has given me hope with my Plantares Fasciitis. I would like to see more classes that are marked for beginners. Similar to exercise classes. It is marked beginner and then you progress upwards. Do you offer anything like that?

Hacky Sack

Surprisingly difficult to grasp at first. If you have short toes could be harder. Also filled just the right amount to make challenging.

Came as part of a set and adds to the fun!

This is a great product for both tactile toe grip as well as playing hacky sack. My 9 year old son and I have had some really fun hacky sack games. Thank you

I got the hacky sack as part of the SoleMate kit (which is 5*) and wanted to leave a separate review of this

The hacky sack is leaking beads every time I use it, so don't think it will last very long...

Not sure if thats normal for a hacky sack as i've never used one, but expensive if it only lasts for 2 months.

Despite that, it is good for gripping toes, better than a tennis/golf ball etc.

But how on earth do people do kick-ups with it? Impossible for me!

I saw in the box that there were some exercises and a QR code to your website, but I was hopeful that there was some kind of introduction on how to use these products. Maybe a place to start what a good amount of time per day might be. How to correct some common issues, possibly how to progress.

My 18 year old twins and I are having fun playing...I found out my toes are way better at gripping :)

Love my little hacky sack! Why? It means exercise is fun and therefore I have much more motivation to keep going. It is squishy like a bean bag, only a little bigger than a golf ball, not going to do any damage inside. Throw if around to improve coordination, try to pick it up with your toes (a real challenge). Love it!

Initially I found it really hard to flick and catch my Hacky sack! I’m still not great at it but it is fun to do a little bit every day and I am definitely getting better at it! It’s going to be a challenge to pick it up with my toes but even here I can feel my toes getting more flexible and stronger.

It is a great tool in my foot strengthening efforts.

This is a really great system. I wish they had a couple more strength exercises to use. It is still really good

I am a woman with size 8 feet and longish toes with second toe longer than big toe. I don’t generally have trouble with dexterity but I do have difficulty picking up this hacky sack. I think it would be easier if the hacky sack were smaller in circumference or less densely stuffed. Hoping I will be more effective at grasping the hacky sack with more practice and as the hacky sack breaks in and softens up.

I had no idea how stiff my feet really were I’m getting a whole new bounce to my step!
