Does the "Horned Hoof" brigade still meet here??

I think that was what you were called - cracked heel remedies etc.

I used to read and laugh! Now I need advice....

What is the best reasonably priced foot cream for heels that are beginning to show their age, but are not totally cracked yet?

Thank you

Boots own works for me. Boots have a special foot dept.

You do own a Peg eg, don't you?

Er.... no!

Should I? Are they really good?

As I say, feet have been fine up until recently, but I think my body is beginning to fray

The EGG will sort you out. But get it on ebay, they are pennies on there

May I ask a Ped Egg q?

My heels aren't cracked but have lots of dry skin on them, used a Ped Egg but now a week later it's horrid again and rough as sandpaper because of the grating - where did I go wrong?

Milliways -my feet were fine until I hit 40 and then my heels became "horned hooves".

I took a peep at your profile and see that you're "a woman of a certain age" too -blame it on that.

Flexitol is the cream I use -not cheap but does the job.

oh, and I'm too scared to grate my feet like a piece of cheese (just too weird IMO ) so can't comment on whether that works

I read this as camels hoof and had to peek in.

Hello cybil, I appear to be stalking you.

More grating? sheesh. Had a pile as big as an Italian restaurant...

Took flipping ages and made my hands hurt [wimp]

cheapest solution? Lots of vaseline and cotton socks to sleep in. Works a charm.

Flexitol is the only thing that works.

After a vigorous grating.

Trying to remember where I saw Ped-egg on special last week (whilst shopping with DD for Uni stuff).

For perfect feet you need to use a ped egg, a pumice in teh shower, with lots of soap, and foot cream containing urea.

Sorted.

And you cnat' just do it onece, you need to use the cream every day for a week, and then every other day after that, ped egg weekly.

This one is £2.50 on ebay! Is that the right one?
