Size 6.5 (UK) , was never allowed to wear high heels etc as kid , or any inappropraite shoes, never really wore high heels for day wear, much prefer flat shoes, hence I have no bunions, bending of big toes etc, but I hate my feet , they look like a mans !

would a really good pedicure transform them ?

I had my first ever pedicure yesterday. I don't know about tranforming them, but it certainly made them look and feel better! So much so, I actually went out straight afterwards and bought a new pair of strappy sandels! For once, I felt as though my feet looked good.

I think a good pedicure could transform them and it could also do wonders for how you feel about your feet mentally.
Go for it

Ok , so what will they do at a pedicure , will they deal with the whole foot i.e dry heels etc ?

Yes, the whole foot. Get one done professionally then do them yourself every week

There are far too many unloved feet on display in the summer

there is quite a difference though between a pedicure in your local beauty salon and a pedicure at your local podiatry clinic (if you have one that is).
If you have very rough hard skin then you might be better off for this first visit taking the time and paying the extra money for a podiatrist.

Oh god yes - nail polish would make them more feminine for a start!

another vote for what in France they'd call a pedicure medicale ie podiatrist or Scholl shop to start you off where they use a proper file, knife on corns etc
Then maintain it yourself and when it next eneds topping up get a normal £20 beauty salon one.
