how do you get hard skin off your feet

You can soak your feet in warm water with mild soap; hard skin will be soften after 10-15 minutes soaking. Exfoliate it with an exfoliating foot scrub, I recommend you to use natural exfoliating scrub. Wash your feet with warm water again and put some lotion. You can also wear socks during bedtime.

The Footners sound amazing, will I have to hide my feet for ages while it's working! I live in flip flops and hate the idea of giving them up when it's hot!

Monthly pedicure. Use a foot file in the bath every couple of days followed by flexitol to keep them decent.

Micro- Pedi gadget.
Expensive but worth it

Whatever you do. don't file off the skin.

Use a cream called Calmuirid. You can get it at chemists, over the counter but you have to ask for it. Put it on your heels and rest of foot. Put some Ecotools bamboo pedicure socks on top. Sleep in the socks, after three treatments the hard skin will be gone. A very nice GP prescribed the cream to me years ago, and it works brilliantly.

Siiiiiigh. If you have verrucaes or warts don't go to a salon go to a chiropodist. They can treat things like that plus they can do the hard skin much better if it's very bad.
After you're fixed there go to a normal salon for a pedicure every 6 or so weeks to maintain. They will keep your feet soft and smooth and stop hard skin building up again as well as sorting toes out and fixing up cuticles.
Use any foot cream with urea at least once a week too.

a walk on the beach, if you live near sea, walk where the sea meets beach, nice soft feet

I heard about soaking hard skin in a poultice of soluble aspirin - aspirin is salicylic acid, the same as in wart creams - then scraping off the softened bits, Soluble aspirin is cheap to buy. I haven't tried this myself but it sounds good!

Soap and Gory foot file!

[noddyholder]

I got it in superdrug was about 12 I think

[plasticbanana]

Footners appear to cost £20 for a single use! Have any of you tried the cheaper Ebay versions?

[AdoraBell]

Footners bloody autocorrect.

[AdoraBell]

Footers sound like my idea of a fun week afternoon.

[noddyholder]

Footner here too. I had forgotten I had done it and was in the shower and thought I couldn't feel the floor properly When I got out my feet were hanging off Dp was following me with the hoover for about a week but very satisfying and best my feet have ever looked

Marking place

[Coumarin]

Footner!

The use a soap and glory file with flexitol afterwards to maintain your soft feet.

[skyninja]

Nice to hear that I'm not the only one to get pleasure out of skin falling of the feet!

Flexitol is good, I really need to get my feet sorted, I caught a close-up glimpse of them during yoga and nearly threw up on the disgusting things.

Not helped by the fact I also have a fungal nail infection that hasn't quite gone yet. Double vomit.

Sorry for TMI.

[knitknack]

no no no no! Oh, I got that wrong, not FOOTNERS (I've not tried those), no it's these things I use in the bath.... astonishing!

newtons foot therapy sponges

Another footner and flexitol user here... I'm now a runner (and 41 years old) and I have the babiest, softest, lovliest feet of life now that I use the footners in each bath and the cream morning and night :)

[RubyReins]

Glad I am not the only one who rates the Footner stuff! I am due another Footner sesh soon - as I said, really gross for a bit (and oddly satisfying) but the results are brilliant.

[splodgeness]

Flexitol is the business, its expensive but it absolutely does the job.

[Oldraver]

My Mum has the mankiest feet ever..I once took a box cheese grater to it (using the zesty bit). She said it was the best anyone has ever done.

[lazypepper]

oooh I didn't know you could still purchase Pedikur. I used to buy it from QVC years back - such fun scraping off the soggy skin with a butter knife..

[siiiiiiiiigh]

but, just how minging can your feet before before pedicure?

If I rock up with my tarmac-heel/hairy toe/weird resistant verruca combo, won't they run off screaming and proclaiming "we only want to make your toenails purrtee, take these monsters away!"?
