Footner

Hi,
Thinking of trying them after hearing good things!
How long will I need to keep socks on for?
How long does the nice soft effect last?

I’d just buy the cheap ones from Amazon! They are only a fiver and do the same job. Socks stay on for an hour, mine start peeling after a couple of days and then are usually finished a week after that

@TurnOffTheTv can you link the ones you use please?

I'm a fan. I keep them on for an hour and a half, soak feet in warm plain water every night for at least half an hour with some rubbing (no picking). Every night for however long it takes for the peeling to finish. Don't use anything moisturising whilst it's in the peeling process. I use sellotape over the top as the sticky bits don't make it snug enough and then wear fluffy socks over the bags.

First time took 6 days to start and a week and a half to finish. 3rd and onwards took 2 days to start and another 4-5 days to be finished.

Depends on the individual but in me it lasts about 3 months before I think about having another go. I usually just do it twice a year. Use foot cream in between goes.

I did this with some non footner ones from FeelUnique. They were about £5 for the pair. They worked in that they deeply exfoliated my feet and peeled the hard bits off (hideous) but if I’m honest, I didn’t much like the super soft feet I was left with. They were wayyyy too vulnerable to shoes rubbing. It was like I had to break all of my shoes again. Not fun. I now just use the soap and glory foot file with the flexitol heel balm every few days and my feet are fine. It targets the areas I want to soften without oversoftening the parts I don’t want to touch (like where shoes rub).

Thanks.
Trying to decide the best time to do it, we need some rain!
I hate wearing socks!

I also found it made all my shoes rub again however I've bought another cause my feet are hideous from 13 hour shifts constantly walking/standing

I think it’s the law that if you do it you have to post photos. Just FYI.

Yes to soaking feet every night! Oblig pictures attached

I suffer from really bad hard skin on my feet and tried the Footner ones and it only really shifted a layer of skin. Anyone else used something that really gets at the feet?

Omg

That’s definitely the best results I’ve had! I swopped to this one last time and it’s really cleared everything!

Bonus tip, if you do the bag wearing but without any polish on (not even clear) it whitens and brightens your toe nails.

Check out that satisfying big sheet Turn

It was pretty amazing!

Did absolutely nothing for mine, and bear in mind you'll have 2 weeks where you look like you've got a serious skin condition akin to leprosy so won't be able to wear sandals...............

Best advice I had on here was to use a Newton's chiropody sponge in the shower, and use a really good heel balm with a high urea content.

but = bit

I'm going to do mine tomorrow. Keep meaning to but forgetting. This thread has made me want to get on with it. It'll soon be Summer.

janeeyre that’s my fear!
Ordered it now though!

Right wore the socks whilst watching GOT, now I wait for the magic to happen!
Should I soak every night? Or only once the peeling has started?

Every night

Every night from tomorrow. Warm water (or hot, but not cool) with nothing in it. About 20-30 mins at least. When they get that dry feeling in a couple of days time start rubbing them whilst they're in the water.

Remember not to put any moisturiser on them or even use moisturising shower gel or oils on them until it's all finished.

Thankyou!

How did it go @noitsachicken ??

Meh, it worked ok, but not impressed with the results TBH

I thought that the first time too - 'what was all the fuss?' - but subsequent goes have been really effective. I only use them 2-3 times a year (after sandal season especially) but it's worth doing. Don't forget sunscreen on your feet if you're wearing sandals after they've peeled though.
