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.

You should have it sometime this week then and all will be well once more.

Ooh, I don't think I checked the sponge isle!

Mine was not where you would expect it either- twas near exfoliating gloves.....and it's called a "fantastic foot buffer" Grin

Well you are really, I couldn't it, very annoying.

perceptionreality · 10/03/2012 19:13

This sounds great - I will definitely get one

AWimbaWay · 10/03/2012 19:37

There were two other women lingering around the foot section, I felt like saying 'I actually posted on the bloody thread, if there's one here it's MINE!'

ItsaMissTerri · 10/03/2012 20:21

I have one....and agree its excellent. Would also add my vote for Flexitol Heel Balm to put on afterwards . I have terrible dry cracked heels and it helps a lot Smile

Kellamity · 10/03/2012 20:23

I use a Newtons foot therapy Chiropody Sponge.Its not a sponge at all but a block of rough stuff in a little plastic box.

I swear by it.Use that,slather Vaseline on,put on socks,and off to bed.

coffeeinbed · 10/03/2012 21:17

nelson's sponge is a miracle.
A cheap one as well.
Love it.

Jamdoughnutfiend · 10/03/2012 21:19

I went to get mine today, tried two really big Boots near me and neither had it (stamps cloven hoof) Have ordered one from Boots.com and now am waiting (taps impatiently)

DaisyAndConfused · 10/03/2012 21:50

Bought one today on your recommendation Shiny, will report back when I get the chance to try it out Smile

wools · 11/03/2012 07:42

I used mine yesterday for the first time and it is really good. I couldn't be bothered with lemon juice though and used it on dry feet before showering - I might have a go today after showering to see which works best. Much better than the Ped Egg at any rate. Thanks Shiney for the heads up!

GeetTallBird · 11/03/2012 08:30

I use an old razor in the bath! Very satisfactory pile of manky skin on the side when I'm done :)

shinecrazydiamond · 11/03/2012 09:15

the ped egg is terrible as it grates your skin in a really horrible way.

Eeeeekk at a razor blade. Bloody hell!

tiokiko · 11/03/2012 09:34

Jamdoughnut - when did you order from Boots.com? It says out of stock when I look, am I missing something or looking at the wrong thing?

redglow · 11/03/2012 11:43

Razor blade you're brave.

MrsBovary · 11/03/2012 11:50

I've tried various files, but have found nothing to come close to Newton's chiropody sponge. I agree it's brilliant.
