It is this ....]]reviews.boots.com/2111-en_gb/867907/soap-glory-soap-glory-foot-buffer-reviews/reviews.htm here]]

I actually hate their range and don't use it - but took a punt on this foot file and it's really, really good.

Bought one yesterday so will try it out later when the kids are in bed it definitely seems impressive. tho the boots I got it from was not impressive, in the area I found the buffer it was quite dusty and nothing was labelled so just hoped it was the right price. luckily it was.

anniewoo · 04/04/2012 15:48

The Marks & Spencer one is just as good. Ped egg is v good too.

trikken · 04/04/2012 15:52

I hated the ped egg. Didnt seem as good as advertised, but this seems much sturdier and able to stand up to the job.

trikken · 04/04/2012 21:43

Ooh it is good. Used it on Dh's very rough and quite frankly scary feet and they ended up as smooth as a baby's bottom. That is a major achievement. Smile

AnyFuleKno · 04/04/2012 21:49

Sainsburys "dirty works" range have an almost exact copy of this footfile (I reckon it's the soap and glory stuff repackaged) for 5.99. I have checked both and can confirm that other than the colour and the slide-out-toe-file bit it is exactly the same

IDontWantToBeFatAnymore · 07/04/2012 13:37

Years behind everyone else as usual but I went and got one today after searching for the exact product name as I saw this thread ages ago but didn't read it. Shiney permeates your mind even when you don't read her thread I will give it a go later. I was aching a bit on the balls of my feet yesterday and the skin is dry there.

CagneyNLacey · 07/04/2012 19:53

I've been trying to get one of these since thread first went up but cannot get a hold of one for love nor a reasonable amount of money - one I bid on on ebay is now up to £15 Shock

pocketandsweet · 07/04/2012 20:32

My local Boots ( York) has several... As several people have mentioned they are a but hard to find- near the washbags and pouffe scrubby things in my Boots- have you asked if they might order one in for you. It is brilliant but I don't see why you should have to pay twice the price on eBay .

ThePathanKhansWitch · 07/04/2012 21:19

I bought the last one in the Selfridges buiding in Birmingham on Friday!

Just used it, brilliant. Thankyou Shiney.

My feet didn't even match before, they are now truly beauiful.
and everyone I know shall be Envy.

CagneyNLacey · 07/04/2012 21:29

I cant get into city centre to check out the big Boots as I'm a huge preggo with spd at the mo - am obsessed with getting one of these, but am not paying double Blush

LookAtAllTheseFucksIGive · 07/04/2012 21:39

Buy one. It is seriously amazing. Thanks Shiney. Also someone further upthread asked if any Manchester ones had them. I know you asked ages ago but the Stretford Arndale Boots (medium sized branch) has them.

Emo76 · 08/04/2012 08:20

I found some in Boots on Piccadilly near Green Park tube in London if anyone is hunting around there! They are downstairs with the sponges etc NOT with the soap and glory products. Perhaps I should buy a load and eBay!!!

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 12/04/2012 14:44

Just got the last one in Boots beside my office!!!
Looking forward to seeing the fab results this evening.
Plus it was 3 for 2 on lip tints and on primer - I'll blame Mumsnet for making me spend money Grin

trikken · 12/04/2012 14:55

I just thought id add I love mine after having it a week. Smile

FriskyBivalves · 23/04/2012 23:04

Sunday afternoon: finally track down Shiney's S&G footfile in Boots.

This morning: sit on bed scruffing away at heels thinking, Blimey, look at me, no more Hobbit feet

Stand up to do self-admiring twirl. Stumble into footstool. Owwwwew. Look down at foot to see little toe sticking out to side at 90 degree angle. Try not to boak.

Upshot: broken in two places. But at least, as I submitted foot for multiple x rays and agonizing manipulation Shock Shock Shock it was as smooth as a baby's bottom...

TheWisdomOfSolomum · 24/04/2012 01:15

Bleeding Hell Frisky! Your poor wee toe!

I'm Grin at you seeing the bright side though!

Hope you recover soon Thanks

Msarsebiscuit · 24/04/2012 06:30

Frisky, if it's any consolation, the radiographer will have noticed your impeccably soft feet, wondered how you'd managed it and wished everyone had feet like that.

FriskyBivalves · 24/04/2012 10:31

Thank you for the flowers!

As I inhaled deeply on the gas and air, I did feel slightly aggrieved (as well as light-headed) that the doc just kept wapping on about how small the toe was and how difficult it was to get a grip, rather than murmuring, "ambassador - With these feet you are really spoiling us" Grin

This is all Shiney's fault, obvs, but on balance the pain is still worth it.

TheWisdomOfSolomum · 24/04/2012 10:47

Haha it sounds like the sort of thing that would happen to Shiney as well.

Chicinwellies · 09/07/2012 10:04

I've just ordered mine this morning after trying so many other options - found it on here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160838135424 The ped egg was useless, a complete waste of money, and other pumice stones and potions just dont even scratch the surface of my flipflopped feet. I live by the sea and walk on the sand all yr round, I think the challenge is on with my feet. So excited, as Ive got a lovely dior polish that is just sat on my dressing table as Im too ashamed to bring attention to my feet Sad

ilovemyneighbours · 10/07/2012 11:42

Literally the best thing since sliced bread!

Chicinwellies · 13/07/2012 22:47

Just to say thank you so much to those who Sang the praises of s&g buffer. I am literally obsessed with it and It Works!! Amazing!! For the first time in many years I flip flopped about quite overtly today. Thank you!

mizfiesta · 24/04/2019 14:33

Hi guys, I know I'm a bit late to the discussion (but only seven years lol) but had stumbled up the thread while looking for a suitable implement for my OH's feet.
I can only think that perhaps Soap and Glory have perhaps rebranded there Utterly Fantastic Foot Buffer and are now calling it The Heel Deal Foot File as I can't find the original one on their site. (Ebay and Amazon are still selling it but it's expensive!)
But I just wanted to check this is the one you all bought? If there's anyone still out there.... :-)

beanaseireann · 24/04/2019 18:06

Yes I think that's the ins. Tbh I Gould the M&S one just as good. Sali Hughes recommended the The Colossal Pedicure Foot File by Microplane recently.

beanaseireann · 24/04/2019 18:07

Shockoops
That's the one not the ins
I found not I Gould
