Handy, useful foot soaker
I wanted to be able to soak one or both feet.  The fancier, more pedicure-oriented foot spas seemed to take up a lot of space and not perform particularly well from what I read.  I tried a dishpan and it was too shallow and the wrong shape; also, it was awkward to fill, carry and empty.  My local Japanese dollar store sold this green bucket for about $15, so I got one there.  The bottom has little bumps and also a raised section for the arch of the foot.  These additions were unremarkable.  I'll probably add a layer of little round stones to rub my feet across to get more of a massage action.<br /><br />The handle is reasonably sturdy.  I have US size 8.5 feet and had to fill the bucket a little more than 1/4 full to get a soak that would cover the top of my foot (about 1.5 gallon; the bucket can hold a lot more than that).  Using that amount of water, the bucket was quick and easy to fill, carry and empty.  It does force foot placement somewhat close together, which could be an issue for some heavier/bigger people.  For people in that situation, I would say check out a 5 gallon square Rubbermaid dishpan, which may work better.<br /><br />I like this bucket for the depth, which is really good for soaking feet and ankles; the handle, which makes it easier to carry and empty; and the fact that it's a dedicated foot bucket which I can keep clean and disinfected.
