HORNED HOOFERS you know what im going to say

[MikeRotch]

and im looking at YOU
get felxitolling
sever cases book up at the chirpoodist

( who is it who hates thes e threads - is it mossy?)

Coincidence - this morning I had a little look at my feet to see if I needed to book the chiropodist again - and thought of mn!

I went last year and there was a lot of paring.

lol at intervention

Not brave enough to let little piranha things at my feet. But had my first (normal) pedi in months at the weekend. I felt ashamed of my feet. Ashamed. They were horned, they were hoofs and they were fucking hideous. Looking a lot better now, but will need to be doing it fortnightly now to keep the honed hooves at bay.

I said this on OP's last manky feet thread and I will say it again.

What the hell do you lot do to your feet to get them so scaly?

I don't have to grate my feet

I do shave my toes, mind.

I have hammer toes, ahd them since I was small. DC have them, must eb a genetic thing.

As a result I have hard skin (corns?! shudder) on the affected toes.

I feel this is so vile, my feet are beyond redemption.

have never tried a chiropodist, am worried they will:

• make my feet bleed
• recoil in disgust

(On a positive note: "Our Foot Fairy tale":
I always HATED my feet and wenjt to great lengths to keep them hidden from friends and lovers. Then Eddie Murphy came out with this film about women with ugly feet, and how much he hates them (did I dream this????!!! Surely not). I creid after this film. So it has always been a massive thing to me. When I met DH, he did not seem to notice my feet at all. Then one day, I noticed his feet. they were worse than mine! And we lived happily ever after, our two little mini ogres DC sadly, have the same feet in the making as well)

ooh no chirops will love you

not beyond redemption.

Come on, think of all those old ladies - your feet can't be worse than that - the chiropodists SO have seen worse!

Do you wear boots all summer?

Last autumn my wheely thing i used to buff the hairs off my legs was dying...so i thought i'd try it on my feet and see what happened........three pebble dashed walls later i had the most marvellous smooth feet - broke it in the process though.....

...anything similar out there for this summer???

Some sort of chinook based wheely buffer item would be good....

so what do you ask for at the chiropodist then? Do you have to warn them so that they get the power tools charged up?

Ye Gods.

I may be fat and I may have two pairs of linen trousers (Monsoon) and a White Stuff necklace.

But I am blessed with naturally showroom condition hooves and NO need for a ped egg, a hardskin shaver, flexitol or 50 threads about feet.

Thanks all the same.

bibbity

Yes, I may have a long nose and hair which goes frizzy at the first sign of rain, but thank christ I can wear flip flops in the summer without first attacking them with Black and Decker power tools.

oooh that looks good shine - was worried i might need this

shiney thats just a ped egg with a handle

And that annoying Alison yakking on about it in the salon

Avoid the fish I reckon
Who knows what might get spread by fish micro teeth.
You can't sterilise them in-between can you?

shiney thats just a ped egg with a handle@

No. it's a microplane (like the expensive food graters, they also make expensive diy tools) and although I like the pro Microplane one to this one, it's got a different grade of grating edge to the Ped Egg. I have both a Ped Egg and a Pro Microplane and several Diamancels and yes, the Ped Egg is next to useless. The Microplane is effective.

shiney, agree
and probably spreads all sorts of things we are just not aware of yet

i go to mine ( now on FIRST NAME terms ;) and say PLEASE get rid of my dry skin and semi cracked heels. ( have dry skin everywhere os is issue)

occasionally she says " oh thesea re quite good atm"
at the end of summer they are a mess

spend ?£30 twice in summer period.
am oft complimnted on "pretty feet" and cackle that IF ONLY they knew

I have just started using thaat Scholl something K or whatever it is called on mine, and have seen an improvement already

Mine aren't too bad really, it's only since I have been at work that it has become a problem, because I am on my feet all day.

have ordered that QVC thing

If you go to the London Aquarium, you can put your fingers in the cleaner shrimps for free. Maybe you could niftily get your foot in there instead?

Very wierd feeling, having your nail area cleaned by shrimps.

god my feet are horrendous but not because of hornedness. have pustular eczema on my feet (is as vile as it sounds) so have endless blisters to keep on top of

soluble aspirin good for shoddy dry feet and cheap!
