Bad idea! Skin on hands is thinner and more delicate.

I did it.

I want to footner my whole body Wink

Day 3 (I assume the first day when it was done doesn't count) Still waiting. Impatient.

I'm glad I read on here that the sticky close tape was hard to find, as I had sellotape at the ready! Hurrah for Mumsnet, this thread has been a relevation.

I used Footner on Saturday. Nothing happening despite daily soaking :(

Pooka · 15/07/2014 14:22

Took about 10 days with me. Then one evening took shoes off and I looked like I had alarming skin complaint. 3 days of shedding. Lovely soft feet, but not entirely successful on heels.

I did it last Sunday, my feet are amazing now and the peeling was extraordinary. I'm going to get more for when my feet (inevitably) become hoof-like again

aliasjoey · 15/07/2014 14:51

10 days! I can't wait 10 days! (slightly alarmed at the thought of instant overnight peeling - do you just wake up and the bed is full of bits?)

darksideofthemooncup · 15/07/2014 16:56

You will not believe how much skin comes off. You really won't want to wear sandals or go barefoot in front of anyone. Oh the sheer JOY of peeling though Grin

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 15/07/2014 21:35

Big flakes today but no sheets yet! Will continue to soak daily and hope for something dramatic. Bought two in the Boots offer so might just do it again next week!

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 15/07/2014 23:05

Eww!

AndHarry · 15/07/2014 23:09

My feet just look dry. No flakes or peeling. If I've spent £20 and nothing happens I'll be suing MN :o

AndHarry · 15/07/2014 23:10

And adding costs for that awful tinted moisturizer too!

aliasjoey · 16/07/2014 17:33

Feet started coming away today! (day 4)

It began on the softer parts, and is working round to the heels. I didn't start soaking til this morning, and am currently on the second soak.

AndHarry · 16/07/2014 20:13

Nothing happening here. My feet just look worse than they did before :(

Pooka · 16/07/2014 21:15

I was like you andharry. Thought my feet were impervious.

Day 10 and loose skin a-go-go.

AndHarry · 19/07/2014 21:53

Day 7. Some flakiness but only shifting with the aid of a pumice stone. Feet look really dry and generally awful :(

minibmw2010 · 20/07/2014 07:31

Give them a good soak, it'll all come off

AndHarry · 21/07/2014 09:05

I was walking about on a beach yesterday and paddling in the sea. Result: some peeling! This is now day 9 and my feet still look worse than they did before I started but with some intensive effort that might change.

StairsInTheNight · 21/07/2014 10:17

Get the purederm ones. Soak and scrape every night. That works! You don't have to wear them Der four nights on the trot like I did though

sweetheart · 21/07/2014 11:41

I'm going to do my first footner tonight - we go on holiday in just under 3 weeks so hopefully the peeling will be done by then. I do a lot of exercise / sport so I'm hoping that the hour or so in sweaty trainers each day will speed up the process

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 21/07/2014 13:17

Ha stairs! Hope your feet didn't fall off!

Mine have finished peeling now. Certainly much better but not entirely baby soft. Round 2 soon I think.

Good luck Sweet!

AndHarry · 21/07/2014 13:18

:o Stairs

I might just pay the £30 for a podiatrist to sort them out. At least the results are instant!

Rhuba · 25/07/2014 09:03

Ok you all convinced me!

I used Footner last night. My feet feel really odd this morning. A bit numb; like I'm wearing socks but I'm not. They feel like my skin isn't my own.

I'm going to get impatient waiting for it all to start.

aliasjoey · 25/07/2014 10:31

Mine have finished, and I'm a bit disappointed. They started peeling on day 4, and at first it was great - I was soaking twice a day which helped. But it only seemed to do the parts where skin wasn't too bad (toes and a bit on the ball of the foot)

My heels seem as hard and itchy as ever. It's true that there was a crack on the ball of my foot which has almost disappeared, maybe my heels are a tiny bit softer but not what I was hoping for Sad
