Why You Need mSteps or mStrides Magnetic Insoles

Your feet hurt when you’re on them all day, especially on a hard surface, like concrete. And when you’re feet hurt, you’re whole body hurts. You can try all sorts of different cushioned inserts, but they don’t help much.
Magnetic insoles, like Nikken’s mSteps and mStrides, actually can help. When you’re on your feet all day, with shoes on, especially standing still, energy movement in your feet is restricted. The magnets in a good pair of magnetic insoles helps move that energy.
I have had Nikken’s insoles in my shoes since 2006 (I think I’m on my third pair) and I won’t go far without them. For me, they definitely help.
Magsteps, the original magnetic insoles from Nikken, were the very first product that Nikken had when they started out in Japan in March of 1975 and they have been offering them ever since. Many companies have tried to duplicate what Nikken has created with the Magsteps, but only one other magnetic insole comes close to them, and maybe surpasses them, and that’s Nikken’s current ones, the mSteps and mStrides.
What Are mSteps and mStrides
Nikken’s magnetic insoles are thin shoe inserts embedded with magnetic nodes. If you look closely at the pictures at the top of this page you will see all of the magnetic nodes – the darker circles on the mSteps and the reddish circles on the mStrides. There is a large concentration of magnets under the front half of the foot and a smaller concentration under the heel.
The most common question is “what is the difference between the mSteps and the mStrides?” The answer is simple. mSteps are thinner and have small bumps to stimulate the bottoms of your feet. mStrides are a little bit thicker to provide more cushion and are smooth so that they don’t overstimulate sensitive feet.
I use the mSteps myself. If you are familiar with Nikken’s previous insoles, the mSteps correspond to the MagSteps, but with much smaller bumps. I don’t feel the bumps on the mSteps, though they are still more than enough for very sensitive feet. The mStrides correspond to the older MagStrides.
How to Use mSteps and mStrides Magnetic Insoles
There are two sizes to the mSteps and mStrides – small and large. Typically, women will use small and men will use large, but be sure to choose the right ones for your foot.
When you receive your pair they will probably be too big for your shoe. There is space to trim and shape them properly to fit. A regular pair of scissors should do the job.
If you have other inserts in your shoes that you can’t do without, then you can still use these insoles as long as you have room. Ideally, the Nikken insoles need to go on top because magnetic effects drop off significantly the farther they are from your skin.
Another common question is “which side goes up when I put them in my shoes?” The mSteps and mStrides are clearly marked. The Nikken logo is embedded in the top of the insole and the text “This Side Down” is embedded in the bottom.

Do the magnets ever lose potency?
Hi DJ. Not in my 16 years experience using Nikken’s magnets. Nikken uses permanent magnets, so the magnetic field shouldn’t degrade unless something significant happens to them.
Hi Wayne, i have the old Magsteps way back 2006 and i can say it really helps for my job but then i change my shoes and throw it but forgot to take my magsteps. That was so sad. Thanks God i found you.
Hi Veronica. I did the same thing when I wore out my previous pair of shoes. You get used to them being there and forget all about them until you get a new pair. You definitely notice when they aren’t there.
Hi Wayne…How do the new mSteps hold up? Do they wear as long as the original magsteps?
Hi Diane. The insole itself should last longer because it is a more durable material than the MagSteps had. The magnetic inserts can break though, usually at the toe where it has to bend a lot. There are two ways to handle that.
One is, if one of them breaks to the point where it will come out then just leave it out. There are more than enough magnets in there to make up for it.
Two, Nikken has replacement magnets that you can buy so that you can replace the broken one if you want to.
When my current insoles wear out I will buy another pair of mSteps. I have had one crack in each insole, but not to the point that the magnet falls out.
Hello, I dont have a comment but a question. I had a pair of these insoles years ago and really liked them. I’m on my feet a lot on hard surface and walk a lot. which pair of these insoles would be better to wear? I think with the older insoles you could turn them over so they werent so bumpy. Thanks!
Hi Lisa. You mentioned the bumps, so you had the MagSteps before. The current version of those are the mSteps. They still have bumps, sort of, but they are so small that you probably won’t feel them. I would stick with them as long as they worked for you, whether you used the bumpy side or not.
Hi, I enjoyed reading your blog about Nikken insoles as this was recommended by a friend. I am from the Philippines and wondering about what size I should get. Filipinos have smaller feet than Caucasians and I am a male wearing a size 8 US. Also mstep or mstride that is the question.
Appreciate your help. thanks Raffy
Hi Rafael. Large should work for you. They go down to US size 7. I always recommend the mSteps unless you have issues with sensitive feet.
i have used these insole for years. In fact I still have the original ones I bought back in 1993, worn out but I still use them. I had dislocated my ankle and after it was fixed I had to walk down the stairs one step at a time, step down with one foot, then step onto the same step with the other foot. After a couple of weeks using these insoles I could walk down the stairs properly. I feel that these insoles helped my ankle finish healing as it was always stiff after being dislocated and only after i started using these insoles that stiffness went away. I to notice when I wear shoes without these in them. I am looking forward to getting another pair soon. Those originals have worn out at the balls of my feet, but are still usable so far.
by the way – I have the magsteps
Rick thanks for sharing your story about your use of the Magsteps. After 18 years and they are still working for you. That is amazing.
