Footner 2016 thread

Just done my first one of this year so that if we do get any nice Easter weather, I can dig my sandals out of the bottom of the wardrobe.

Anyone else planning to do one soon?

We can compare peeling anecdotes Grin

Used them about 3 or 4 times before and got good results as I'm on my feet all day at work, so usually have manky hooves that I try to keep slightly under control with a ped-egg and heavy duty moisturiser.

Update: the peeling began properly on Friday and think today is probably the worst day. They look horrific! Glad it's too cold for sandals or flip flops today! So it really does take a week to get going.

Photos? Lol.

If you insist, brace yourselves.

Just marking my place on this thread as mine is arriving tomorrow. Question about toes - the side of my big toe had awful calloused skin. Will the Footner remove this skin or does it just work on the soles of your feet?

Whistle73 · 15/05/2016 20:39

There's definitely some inner-toe action going on with me.

Tralaa!! It's taken over a week but it's finally dropping off after a long soak. Grin

Libitina · 16/05/2016 20:31

Ooooo you can pull that off in sheets!

Mine have started peeling satisfyingly too. Hang in there - it took eight days before anything really happened (I was worried I'd made my feet worse and was destined to spend the whole summer in socks).

MissRainbowBrite · 17/05/2016 14:44

I did my first Footner last night (the Groupon one) and at the minute my feet don't look any different.
Just wondered how often I should be soaking? Shall I start tonight and aim for every other night?
I'm hoping for good things so I can finally dig my sandals and put some respectable looking feet in them.

MissRainbowBrite · 17/05/2016 15:23

*dig out my sandals that should say

Whistle73 · 17/05/2016 22:08

Don't expect to see anything for a good week or so Rainbow! Peeling still happening for me on Day 11.

AdoraBell · 18/05/2016 00:01

I've never used anything like this but really need to. I don't have feet. I have hooves.

I shall purchase and follow the good advice on here Grin

LMGTFY · 18/05/2016 08:35

Waiting for mine to arrive so marking my place!

MissRainbowBrite · 20/05/2016 21:36

The peeling has started, got some lovely big patches, going to be very difficult not to pick. At least it's given rain all weekend so I can keep my socks on.

Big pieces started last night - day 5
How how how are people not picking though...!?

MissRainbowBrite · 21/05/2016 16:47

It's very hard not to pick. I've been told I can't walk round barefoot as I'm now leaving trails of dead skin behind me. Another soak tomorrow to see what else comes off.

BusyBea · 22/05/2016 12:05

I used the Holika Holika version on Friday night. Long soak in the bath this morning but nothing happening yet Sad

Antoninaisintheroom · 22/05/2016 17:09

Sit takes around a week for the skin to start peeling. I did mine last Friday, and started shedding ton Thursday, I'm almost done now :)

BusyBea · 22/05/2016 17:13

Ahh I'm so impatient! Grin

meatloaf · 24/05/2016 21:49

Has anyone used this one?

It's a lot cheaper then a Footner, but I don't want to buy it if it doesn't work.

BusyBea · 25/05/2016 22:00

Still nothing happening yet! Been soaking each night too. Hoping tomorrow is the day!

decaman · 26/05/2016 14:14

Does soaking before application improve results? I'm going to use it this evening.

TazTheFairy · 28/05/2016 09:35

The peeling has started here, it is both disgusting and wonderful in equal measures!

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 31/05/2016 21:47

I footnered on Friday, accidentally moisturised tonigh 😔 Have I ruined it?
