to want to tell people to cover up their cracked heels and acres of hard yellowing skin?

[mrsmerryweather]

now that we have all gone tightless and sockless....

it is just revolting when you see a made-up woman then get to her feet and see acres of white/yellow/grey hard skin on her heels.

Have they never heard of footfiles and foot cream?

pml at this post.
Was just thinking that I could do with using my new foot massarger but haven't found the time.
I am not happy that people are eyeing me up and down checking out for any hard skin on m y poor feet though.
Tis such an effort to go out in summer what with making sure that I am fit to weat vest top, skinny cropped tight assed jeans, and now this !!!

ps cannot think how to spell massarger.

MrsMerryWeather I'm a 'foot noticer' too, it strikes me as odd when a woman will put so much effort into looking good (hair done, nails done, nice clothes, lovely shoes) and then have manky feet.

However, I guess as I'd offend Kimi by wearing shorts with my less than perfect legs and whoever it was that thinks people with stumpy legs shouldn't wear cut offs, I shouldn't have an opinion.

I just think that if you can groom all the way from the top of your head down to you ankles... why stop there?

But just to say thanks again Kimi, for turning a thread about feet into a thread about fat. Cheers.

LMAO at Lalou

at mrsmerryweather, lumping dry, cracked heels with unfiled, dirty fingernails. One (the latter) is about basic hygiene, and the former is a matter of personal grooming. You don't prepare food with your feet, FFS.

I have dry, cracked heels. They're not yellow, but they're not as lovely and smooth as I'd like them to be. This is because I'm a single mum and short on time, and personal grooming-wise, I prioritise a bit of make-up, decently painted toenails (in this weather) and keeping my excess facial hair under control. The cracked heels fall off the radar, I'm afraid. Unless we have all the time in the world, we all have to decide which bits of our bodies we'll shave/trim/exfoliate/cover with make-up/moisturise/apply fake tan to/style and which we will let go. Averagely dry heels seem, to me, to be a very reasonable thing to ignore.

YABU.

OPh get a grip (and a SOH ffs) Scrumpers.

Googled ped egg lissya. Will take your advice. Thanks.

Trikerg: You can wave bye-bye to the cupboard full of crap footfiles and useless foot scrubs!

Ped-Egg is the bees knees.

Ped Egg looks nasty

This is the baby here

Crossing fingers that link works (fingers with nice clean nails of course, short nails though... can't get the buggers to grow anymore )

Oh Feck it

Not sure about the OP.

But I'm still pissing myself laughing over "feel my corn".

Btw, my comment about skinny jeans and cut-offs was meant to be ironic - as, I assume, was the comment that ugly people shouldn't go out at all.

I may have sartorial rules which I follow, but that doesn't give me the right to dictate to anyone else.

(And my toenails aren't the best either.)

Nottalking "averagely dry heels"... whatever they are?
Talking acres of yellow/grey splitting skin.

And ut doesn't take ages- 2 minutes filing 3x a week before you hop in the shower/bath every day, plus cream when you are drying yourself.

No longer than cleaning your teeth.

Interesting thread this- the do's and don'ts.

I wonder where the line is drawn between personal grooming that is just for "us" and a greater responsibility not to inflict our less appealing bits on everyone else?

How's about the same argument applying to not washing or using deodorant? I suppose if you stand in a queue and faint from someone else's pong BO, that's okay is it?

There's nothing worse than being on an escalator behind a woman with gross heels.

Lush foot cream works wonders.

mrsm- looks good but not much different from Scholl foot files-only difference is it collects the bits- i do my feet by resting my foot on the loo or the side of the bath then swish the bits away!

I think it's very different from foot files in that it works for me and no foot file ever did. (I'm not on commission btw)

I have terrible hard skin on my heels. I never really thought about whether it would repulse anyone else. And as a monther of two very busy kids, I really don't have much 'me' time. It's just taken me 3 weeks to find ten minutes to do dye my hair...

I have just purchased a Pedi Egg though - will be interested to see if it actually works.

and you can idly file away at your feet with a Ped Egg whilst you watch TV. Without the need to hoover.

MM_ tell me more- i'm interseted...

actually...it looks very much like my Nigella parmesan cheese grater- -except that's made of wood and doesn't collect the bits.

Same shape though and same graty bits

eve I have mine by the loo and do it for a few seconds while I'm having a wee!

I've only had one go at mine (it arrived yesterday) and there is a vast improvement.
