Just a quick message to say how great your SP1KE insoles are. As a dentist who is always on my feet, who always had painful callouses/ bunions, had a slight limping gait, your insoles have changed everything ! I have now insoles for my indoor and outdoor running shoes, and as soon as they were inserted in my shoes, I felt instant relief! I’m all in, as I also have 2 chair mats, one for my kitchen chair and one for my office chair. Thanks for everything. Keep up the good work!
 

I am using the SP1KE seat pads on my rowing machine. The rowing motion causes you to rock back and forth, shifting weight from your sit bones to the top of your hamstrings, which is interesting. The spikes give a new sensation on the butt, which is a combination between comfy and spiky.
I’ve not been a big user of seat pads in the past because they’ve either been too slippery, or not given enough relief/benefit to continue using them. It feels like this technology is doing something…  what it is, I can’t say, yet.
I’ve been able to spend an hour on the machine with the cushion and the chafing is reduced.
The Sp1ke pads are on my office chair and at my standing desk. They’re great. The spikes help ease the aches and pains I’ve gathered from years of activity.

It’s been a couple of weeks with my new Vigurus mats and insoles.
I am so happy to report that both products are amazing (mats and insoles)!
I have been suffering with on going plantar fasciitis foot pain for 6 plus years and have seen all kinds of practitioners!  Nothing has brought be more relief than your insoles, and combined with standing on your spike mat, wow, incredible.   Wearing the insoles alone, I can walk a lot farther and stay on my feet a lot longer without the debilitating pain that forces me to sit down and take the weight off for awhile.   Stepping on the mat as soon as I get out of bed seems to set me up for a much less pain free day.  It only takes 5-10min of me standing barefoot to set off the foot pain, hence why I rarely am without cushioned slippers in the house or without any type of shoe (99% a running shoe) on!  Standing prepping dinner or cleaning up from it at the end of a day was something I dreaded because of the pain!  The Vigurus mat that I use in my kitchen, coupled with wearing my insoles is a game changer!!  The thought of stepping into the tub and having a shower at the end of the night was sometimes diverted to morning because of how sore my feet were and by that time I just needed to get off them and go straight to bed.  I have used the mini mat in the shower and again, game changer!  I would say a 90% pain reduction experience!
I wear Hoka runners as slippers, as my shoes 80% of the time because they keep me without pain for a couple of hours, but after those hours the dull ache starts and the pain for the rest of the day slowly starts to get worse.   Again, I am in awe, almost disbelief, of how the insoles alone allow me to triple if not quadruple the time before I start to feel the pain and fatigue in my feet.
I will have to say the ultimate test will be when I return to work which unfortunately has me on cement floors in a clinical setting for an 8-hour day.  I am constantly dancing or shifting from foot to foot to reduce the pain and fatigue.  I think the mats along with wearing the insoles will help tremendously, it will be short of a miracle if I am able to go for most of the day with little to no pain!!!  I will keep you posted!
I would recommend the insoles to anyone who has any type of foot pain without any hesitation!!!

“Rick has Parkinson’s and finds the SP1KE ™ cushion extremely helpful for eliminating and preventing pressure sores on his rear due to cycling on his recumbent tandem. He has used the SP1KE ™ cushion for over 20,000 kilometers and it has increased his ability to cycle for long periods of time significantly – we couldn’t do our cross country cycling tours without it!!”

“I received the SP1KE ™ cushions and was so excited to try them out!! I took all 4 samples to the practice and shared them with the girls in my boat as we paddled everyone gave them a try. The reviews were outstanding!! All positive feedback for those who got a chance to try them, they loved SP1KE ™!! They absolutely work so well in the boat; they don’t shift as we paddle and so much more comfortable than what I’ve been using for the past 10 years. My teammates agree!! Often you get blisters from paddling or you suffer from a numb bum because our practices can go for an hour to an hour and a half. The paddling can be pretty intense especially during a race!!! We want to outfit the whole team with SP1KE ™!”

“Having purchased them for my entire office, the SP1KE ™ cushion is a great compliment to the effort I make in achieving the best possible overall health along with exercising, playing hockey and eating clean on a daily basis? I can’t wait to see how far this product goes with already so many useful applications, customize it to your needs and it will improve your life!”

“I have advanced Glaucoma and have had 2 eye surgeries with severely reduced vision and eye pain. I use SP1KE ™ daily in a number of applications. I massage my head and eye area to relieve headaches and eye pain with a small piece of SP1KE ™ several times a day. I lay on a SP1KE ™ roller for my neck to release the pressure from my neck area which feels amazing. I also had a bad case of sciatica a few years ago so I use a SP1KE ™ mat to stand on in the shower and while doing meal preparation and dishes in the kitchen which helps take pressure off my lower spine. I wouldn’t even consider being in a car without a SP1KE ™ cushion as it helps with lower back and leg issues when driving for long distances. There are literally 100’s of ways you can use these products and I highly recommend them for comfort and pain relief – there’s nothing like it!”

“I use SP1KE ™ products all over the house because I love the comfort and feel of them! We have one in the shower that we stand on, it is nonslip and doesn’t absorb any mold and is the most comfortable surface you could imagine standing on in the shower. I use a seating SP1KE ™ cushion for meditation and for a number of yoga practises that require a neutral spinal positioining – I find that I can hold the [oses much longer with better form on a SP1KE ™ cushion. I also use a cushion when driving and sitting on a forklift at work – you don’t feel the vibrations with SP1KE ™ and my back does not get sore after a long day’s work. I highly recommend SP1KE ™ to anyone that has lower back or leg pain and anyone who is physically active in the gym or yoga studio that needs a surface for better balancing and great floor grip!”

“I love sitting on SP1KE ™ to meditate after a long day at work – it totally centers and relaxes me. I take my mat into the shower and stand on it every morning – it feels so nice under my feet and energizes my legs for my long work day ahead. Standing poses in yoga are much better on a SP1KE ™ as I feel that my posture is straighter and I can hold my poses for much longer!”

“I am using SP1KE ™ as a seat cushion and anti-fatigue mat at work when I sort mail and one for driving the truck to deliver mail. Your physique stayed in one position when sorting mail and I have more energy and less leg sore standing on the mat. When driving in the summer, the cushion feels much cooler with the air pockets and allows for airflow so my clothes don’t get hot and sticky. The true test came on my 10 day Algonquin canoe trip where I used it as a seat cushion on my canoe – both my wife and I used it and it was amazing. First time ever, our butts weren’t sore. It helped our lower back pain by providing better posture when rowing. I found in the past without a mat in the canoe that my butt would get real sore paddling for a long time and so I would have to change positions a lot. With a SP1KE ™ mat my physique stayed in one position and there was no lower back pain.”

“I am a marketing consultant who spends a significant number of hours sitting at my computer writing proposals. I have used a high end desk chair for many years, but have always had to deal with sore legs and back issues after siting for extended lengths of time – sometimes 10 – 12 hours at a time.” When I started using the SP1KE ™ seat cushion, I noticed an immediate change in how I felt. My energy level was higher, my legs were no longer cramping and I just felt like “I could sit there all day!” What a GREAT product! Thanks guys for making my days more bearable!”

“SP1KE ™ has been great for releasing pain and relieving tension. I’ve made a point of getting on the mat every morning and evening for a few minutes and I feel that after waking my feet stretch a lot quicker standing on the mat than on a flat surface. The one big change that I saw was increased motion in my toes which really surprised me.”

“Superior product! I found the SP1KE ™ cushion especially helpful during my last trimester of pregnancy when I was the most sore. It helped relieve a lot of my back pain. It’s a great product to stand, sit or lie down on, it helps me relax more easily. My young son has one too and he loves it!”

“I can’t believe the relief I got when introduced to SP1KE ™ cushions. Being immobile and using wheelchairs and scooters to get around was made so much more comfortable when sitting on a SP1KE ™ cushion. So light and easy to carry around too. I can’t thank SP1KE ™ enough for the difference it made in my ‘seated’ life.”

“Just a few weeks ago, I started using the SP1KE ™ cushion in my office. What a difference it has made! I was in a car accident just over a year ago and am still having issues with my neck and upper and lower back. The SP1KE ™ cushion is helping me to sit up straighter, putting less pressure on my neck and spine. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has to sit at a desk working on a computer.”

“For a while now, every time I drive, my hip has been bothering me. Soreness and a feeling that it is unstable. Driving home last night on my SP1KE ™, I felt no pain!! I honestly couldn’t believe it. I’m also trying in out on a chair that I sit on when using the computer and there is relief while sitting and standing up from a seated position is less painful.”

“I’m standing on the floor mat right now and as I dance to my friend’s drumming, I’m getting a pleasure motivated foot and soul massage! Thank you so much! I love SP1KE ™! It’s one of the most incredibly versatile products I’ve had the pleasure of using. I usually keep at least one SP1KE ™ mat in my SUV, just so I’ll always have it with me. As a seat cushion topper, the airflow SP1KE ™ creates between me and the seat keeps me dry and from overheating against the leather interior in the hot summer months. In addition, SP1KE ™ not only cushions the ride for my musical instruments and gear, but also holds everything in place and keeps it all from sliding around in the back of the car. This not only protects everything, but also makes packing the car safer, faster and easier. If I ever take my SP1KE ™ cushion out of the car, it’s usually to save my scrawny posterior from the wrath of a hard and unforgiving chair during a long rehearsal. The unique massage SP1KE ™ foam provides is truly a therapeutic experience. I also love my floor mat and guitar strap insert! I’m constantly amazed at how this brilliantly designed foam makes so many positive differences in my life! I love SP1KE ™!

“I have been using a queen size SP1KE ™ mattress topper on my bed for more than 3 years now, replacing an expensive memory foam mattress topper. I have experienced several very significant changes since I started sleeping on SP1KE ™. After just a few weeks I noticed that my restless leg syndrome had markedly reduced. I had daily issues with this –itchy, twitchy, jumpy legs. Also, prior to the SP1KE ™ mattress topper, I used to wake up about 3-4 times per night and was generally tired as I didn’t ever sleep through the night – my sleep was awful. Within a few weeks I saw changes in that I would sleep longer without waking, and now I generally sleep about 6 hours through the night without waking. As a result, I feel better throughout the day having had a more restful and longer sleep. I also wake without feeling entirely sore all over, and without sweating as I had when I awoke during the night previous to using the SP1KE ™ mattress topper. Sleeping on SP1KE ™ has made a world of difference to my overall well being.”

“I’m a senior who suffers from Neuropathy of the feet and lower legs. My doctors believe it originated from a combination of factors like being in an intensive Care Unit for 50 days, followed by renal failure and subsequent dialysis. A year later I had my second kidney transplant and an operation to repair an abdominal wall tear. As far as I am concerned whatever caused it is irrelevant. What’s relevant is that the pain keeps me awake at nights, and the cramping and prickly sensations comes without warning any time of the day. I purchased a gadget that is widely advertised to relieve the pain using electrical impulses, and I must admit it alleviates the pain after a 20-minute session but comes back again in a matter of hours. My son’s friend gave me a pad manufactured by Vigurus Technologies called SP1KE, and after a ten-minute session, with me just sitting on a chair with my bare feet resting on the pad, and without any electrical impulses, the pad felt like it massaged my feet and legs, and it was wonderful. The effect was longer lasting than the electrical impulses gadget, so much so that I’ve stopped using the $200 gadget. Wish I’d gotten the pad before I bought the gadget, but then again, I wouldn’t appreciate how really effective the SP1KE ™ pad was compared to other products. You don’t have to take my word, if you suffer from Neuropathic Pain, try the SP1KE ™ pad and be amazed.”

“I am a train operator on both the GO trains and the UP trains. My days are usually 10-11 hours of sitting in an operating cab. At times I find myself getting up in between stops to stand due to discomfort and sometimes numbing of my legs. With the SP1KE ™ cushion there is no discomfort and there is no single point which carries all of the weight as it is evenly distributed throughout the entire cushion.”

“As a pro-driver, being comfortable in your seat is one of the most essential parts of going fast. The guys at SP1KE ™ seats not only got me exactly where I wanted my optimal driving position, but their new technology helps increase blood flow to the body, which helps us drive longer. When it gets extremely hot in the racecar we look for every advantage we can get, a good airflow around my body helped quite a bit to stay cool and focused. SP1KE ™ seats – they are at the forefront of technology just as how we are on the race team!”

“I was experiencing lower back and hip problems and saw the SP1KE ™ seat on Facebook and thought…why not give it a try? I felt the difference in my lower back and hips immediately. It has made a huge difference, so much so that I have one in my office, the kitchen, my couch and my vehicle! It’s a great invention, you won’t be disappointed.”

“I experimented with the mat on the plane home yesterday, sitting on it for the first leg of my flight to Iceland, and I was able to fall asleep for a lot of the flight without waking up much and this was without a neck pillow, (so I wasn’t disturbed by my head moving around). However, on the last leg of the flight from Iceland to London, I tried to sleep in my seat this time without the mat and again without a neck pillow, and I was woken up many times with my head rolling around or my head and chin dropping forward onto my chest. I was amazed with the difference.”

“SP1KE ™ structure has been designed to have 2 or 3 different aspects. The general cushioning of the material itself, added to that are these nubs that depress down and collapse sideways. The third aspect are the individual pieces that are interconnected which allows a certain amount of movement from piece to piece. It’s also possible to change the overall density of the foam so that it can go from something “squishy” to something a lot harder. This is a “skinned” foam so imagine an outdoor seating application, this can be easily cleaned by hosing down with water. Whereas regular foam would absorb all the water, SP1KE ™ allows it to pass right through. SP1KE ™ takes an existing foam and by molding it into a different shape, allows a much greater range of applications.”
