My feet are horrible

[immortalmarble]

Not a huge problem. But I am barefoot and my feet are really gross.

I see women with very elegant feet. How does this happen?

Mine too. I’ve bought some bright raspberry polish as I thought it might make them more acceptable. It doesn’t. Not really. I’ve also been using a PED-Egg. And, I’ve started using The Garnier Summer Body this week to take the cadaver effect away. Small steps....small steps

What’s wrong with them? Dry skin? Nails? Foot shape?

I use a chiropodist sponge in the shower. Couple of quid on amazon and it’s transformed by feet which can be dry and scaly as I’m barefoot a lot.

Moisturise feet in bed at night. The body shop pink pepperminty one is brilliant.

All feet look better with bright coloured nails. I have tiny slightly chubby feet. With a good nail colour, they look much prettier, more elegant!

Foot shape - I have a really large big toe and four tiny very squashed together other toes. There is quite a big gap between my big toe and other toes.

Hair

I don’t want to draw attention to them with polish really!

Remove the hair! If you want to

Do you ever paint your toe nails? It might be worth a go, might make a difference and distract from the shape you’re not keen on.

Remove hair, paint toenails, exfoliate daily, vaseline intensive care on them everyday, use a scrubbing brush to clean them everyday, exfoliate with a foot rasp, I got one in superdrug and do it everyday when my feet are wet, takes 30seconds. Going barefoot outdoors also exfoliates naturally.

How do you remove the hair though? Shaving still leaves stubble!

A French polish helps to make toes look more petite

Use the facial hair wax strips

Go get a proper pedicure - soaking of feet, scrubbing off of hard skin, hair removal if you want it, and nails in the best condition you can get them.

Make the most of what you have, women with "elegant" feet may well covet a wider foot so they can wear a different style of shoe or not have other slip off! We all want what we can't have.....

Get a pedicure! I got one this morning and my feet look lovely... much easier then to keep on top of making them look nice. As for the hair, are we talking about the odd one or two (pluck) or more (waxing might be better)?

Yes but with waxing you then have to let it grow back, don’t you?

Mine are disgusting at the mo as I put footner on last week and have timed it really badly so they are in full peel during the hottest bank holiday ever!!
I don't have attractive feet anyway but at least the look better with no dry skin and a bit of polish.

Get footner for the skin, sort out your cuticles and buff your nails, then paint them.
Noting you can do about the shape though obviously.

I am the same. Bunions, corns. hard skin. I am so embarrassed to show them to anyone esp at my yoga class when she comes round and adjusts my position I think OMG my feet are hideous.

I am going to get footner from amazon.

Holycity, mine are in full peel too, I swear by slathering astral cream on and wearing socks overnight.

A pedicure every 6 weeks or more if you can does the trick. Booked in on Friday for one, at present my feet are an embarrassment.

Definitely remove the hair and go for some nail polish.

I am fortunate to have decent feet and get a lot of compliments- but always wear nail polish and have done for years. Moisturiser helps too .

I’m sure your feet aren’t as bad as you think. People are more preoccupied with their own insecurities than taking any of notice of others hang ups.

Try not to worry OP.

Yoga made me realise my feet were horrible too

Agree with all these tips but in addition I see a podiatrist every spring. They cut all the hard skin off and shape the nails, sort out the nail bed etc. It's a step above a salon pedicure and keeps my feet soft for most of the summer.
