I have the Scholl version and it is ok - my feet really are bad and it can't work miracles but I quite like the feeling of it filing my feet Blush

Coumarin · 15/06/2014 21:48

My feet weren't that bad before I did them last time. A bit rough around the heels and rubbish cuticles but no cracks or anything. Afterwards they were super smooth and my toenails looked like I'd had a pedicure.

I really hope they haven't changed the formula. I hate it when companies do that. Tempted to get my packet out to try just to see and sod waiting to do them.

I wonder why it has such varying results for different people? I've just taken my tights off and a disgusting confetti of dead skin fell out - spectacularly gross but brilliantat the same time!

FoxyHarlow123 · 15/06/2014 22:55

Wingdefence, my feet were already in really good nick. Despite my pictures looking gruesome, there wasn't that much to come off but I still got a lot of peeling and great results.

Coumarin · 16/06/2014 00:16

Yy my feet were fine before. I used the S&G foot file amongst other ones and regularly moisturised them. Nothing visible. So that can't be why they work better for some and not others.

Trying to remember how long ago I bought my box so I can compare ingredients.

JenniMoo · 16/06/2014 06:58

I think I was being to harsh on the footner socks. My feet definitely don't feel like my baby's but do, actuakly, feel pretty nice and look good, so for me it seems to have worked.

I hope another pair gets yours going, just. How long did you leave them on for?

WingDefence · 16/06/2014 10:54

Thanks Foxy and Coumarin. I'll try them tonight then :)

justjuanmorebeer · 16/06/2014 11:05

First time I left on for an hour. Last night I left on for three hours.

just I will watch with interest then as I don't want to waste another £20 but if you get better results second time around, I might be tempted.

justjuanmorebeer · 16/06/2014 13:00

I got two from the start you see as was two for £30

I've used a similar product called Purederm Exfoliating Footmask & I got them in Primark (Penney's in Ireland) for €3.50. Think they're also available on Amazon for a fraction of the price of Footner.

justjuanmorebeer · 16/06/2014 15:16

Do they work Issy?

WingDefence · 16/06/2014 19:54

Right, got mine on (while DH is out as I can't be doing with explaining it to him tonight!). They feel lovely and squishy :) I'm going to watch the footy with them on so will be longer than the recommended hour.

Will report back in due course...

IssyWizzyWoo · 16/06/2014 22:03

Yeah I left them on for longer than recommended, took a week to take effect, gross skin shedding, then feet were brand new. I was very impressed, had used lots of lotions & potions, nothing comes near to this. I had deep crevices & parched feet, so I'll be doing it again. Think Primark are no longer stocking, so independent pharmacies or Amazon be your best bet to get some.

WingDefence · 16/06/2014 22:23

That sounds good for next time Issy.

I forgot the time so left the footers on for nearly 2.5 hours. Oops. They felt so lovely and warmly squishy though Blush

JenniMoo · 17/06/2014 03:14

Thanks for the info issy. I saw there were all kinds of similar products around but didn't want to risk it online without knowing what worked / was safe!

tigerdriverII · 17/06/2014 19:52

I'm in. Wearing mine now. If they can improve my feet then they will be miraculous. Will report....

mymonkey · 18/06/2014 17:46

I am v tempted to try this but just a leetle bit scared (yup, completely wuss). I mean it sounds like chemical warfare. What if the peeling never stops? Or my toes fall off entirely? Has this ever happened to anyone? In need of reassurance. And probably dutch courage.

justjuanmorebeer · 18/06/2014 18:54

Ok new update. Day 3 of packet 2. Slight bit of peeling one layer but...guess what...top of foot. Not what I expected.

CastilianHhhhidalgo · 18/06/2014 18:58

I succumbed to the influence of MN and decided to give it a go.

I used the socks yesterday and immediately after washing the residue off my feet I had a tiny bit of peeling on the ball of one foot. Possibly entirely unrelated, I'm desperately hoping that I'm going to fall somewhere between my feet peeling away entirely and nothing else happening Grin

ForcesSweetheart · 18/06/2014 19:17

Going to boots tomorrow! Got to get these for me and dh. Hope they're okay for diabetics to use. Dh has awful feet after 22 years in army boots

WingDefence · 18/06/2014 19:22

Ooh two days in a big peeling! Probably helps that I've been wearing hot tights and shoes all day at work.

Unfortunately I'm now just about to play netball straight from work but forgot to bring any socks. This could get rather grim...!

I am going to do footner for the first time today. Anyone with me?

Found the pic of my Footner result! This was about a year ago, and I really need to do it again now - but it has taken this long for the hard skin to come back - result, I think!

ForcesSweetheart · 18/06/2014 19:31

Purederm ones are only a divert with free prime delivery on Amazon. Have ordered 2 pair. Will report back!

ForcesSweetheart · 18/06/2014 19:33

Fiver not divert!
