So far, the miracle foot pad is based on Kinoki wood or Japanese cedar. I am not sure that will be a miracle product.

Kinoki foot pads are actually a hoax, anyway; they turn brown/black due to oxygen exposure, not "body toxins." But I doubt they'd cause allergic reactions.
There is no evidence that Kinoki Detox Footpads are of help in any medical condition.

Detox Pad (Patch) works just like the osmosis pressure in a plant. Tree roots transport water to other branches utilizing its semi-permeable membrane. The heat from the Detox Pad (Patch) helps absorb perspiration from the bottom of our foot.The bottom of the foot is the location where most of the nerves in our body end. Therefore, the Detox Pad is best used on the sole of the foot to clean out waste and toxic materialsthat are expelled in the form of sweat.
A search for Kinoki on www.FDA.gov yields no hits, period. On March 20, 2008, FDA issued an import alert banning importation of Kinoki Detox Foot Pads, manufactured by Shanghai Huazhou PSA Products Co, Ltd, because the products are unapproved medical devices.
They are different colored versions of snake oil.
Everybody has a different body, and so we all have different toxins in us so maybe your detox pads are gray because you had a different toxin in your body besides someone else who had a brown detox pad. Don't worry because yours is gray. It says on the Kinoki Foot pad detox things that it will turn brown OR gray, so it is suppose to do that.
they are foot pads that are suppose to draw out toxins from your body. (I don't believe it)
If a person walks around with the Kinoki pads on, there is a chance that toxins will enter the body again through the pads and bottom of the feet. The pads will eventually break open, causing staining to other footwear or the floor.
In Japanese, "kinoki" (木の器) refers to a wooden vessel or container. The term "ki" (木) means wood, and "noki" (器) means vessel or container. Together, "kinoki" describes an object made of wood that is used to hold or store items.
