I never had problems with dry skin on my feet until I got past 35. Since then my poor feet have become more hoof like. It got particularly bad during my last pregnancy and pedicures aren't really an option. Anyway, I read on a post here about Microblades (colossal blade) and bought one having never fancied Footner. It is amazing. With about three strokes (it's fairly vicious so was cautious having read reviews) my hooves have gone and I'm about 2cms shorter. I'f highly recommend.
