The Safest Option"},"content":{"rendered":"

You can use a Vibration Plate with athletic shoes on, while wearing \u201cgrippy socks,” or while barefoot.<\/p>\n

For most beginners, it\u2019s best to start with athletic shoes for added traction and support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, explore less padding with either bare feet or grippy socks.<\/p>\n

It may be helpful to start at a lower intensity or shorter intervals to establish comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common to experience increased blood flow to the extremities and associated itchiness.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s pain, numbness, or swelling, adjust your program or take a break entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have any serious conditions such as neuropathy, it may be best to stick with shoes.<\/p>\n
