I've got this one and it's very effective

FVION Nano Glass Foot File for... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CNPXLJKJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have a glowxie glass foot file and it’s been so much better than the battery powered ones I’ve tried.

Microplane one

I have the same one, it's brilliant. So much better than the battery powered Scholl one.

Margaret Dabs. Well. I'm not using my sister is because I bought it for her based on recommendations here. And she says its amazing! It wasn't cheap but it's worth every penny according to her. She hasn't been to a chiropodist since she started using it....

Foot pumice stone - really good on thick skin.

I use a cheap one from Boots with a wooden handle. After a bath I scrub the dead skin then apply E45 and Vaseline and put some socks on so it soaks in. Works brilliantly especially if you make a habit of it.

Foot Mender Cream. Marketed for diabetics. An absolutely amazing cream. Not cheap at at £30 but it’s a big tube and you only need 2 tiny pumps per foot.

I use a pumice stone - very effective - I got mine in Athens tho.

BeretRaspberry · 12/05/2025 09:37

I recently changed from a Micro Pedi electric one to a Glowxie glass file and it’s amazing.

Since I started using a urea cream I no longer need to file my feet.

Me too. Scholl's cracked heel repair is amazing. No mess (it's like a Pritt Stick consistency), no filing required once you get on top of things.

This stuff is amazing! They do a diabetic one and a standard one. The standard one is often on £10 Tuesday on boots online. But it’s so good I would pay the £30 for it if I hadn’t stocked up 😁 and as a bonus you don’t need to file with it either

I bought this : MP42UK Pedicure & Manicure Set Nail Care Professional Kit 7 Attachments
4.54

It is amazing I now never cut my toenails as I use the attachments to file them down and the hard skin widget is really effective.

The bonus is the little attachment for removing cuticles.

I used to visit the chiropodist regularly but now I have no need.

Margaret Dabbs, but the Beauty Pie one looks very similar

Mine is also Scholl. It’s such a good product.

Luckyluckyduck · 12/05/2025 17:05

I love the cerave foot cream, it’s amazing , you see the difference immediately after application. The scholl one is pretty much the same .

I love my PedEgg. All the little bits of grated foot skin get gathered up in the case and it looks like parmesan when you empty it.

Also love a urea foot cream

Don’t put it in the fridge. It might get mistaken for Parmesan 🤮

Foolsgold74 · 12/05/2025 17:17

Pedi egg followed by Margaret Dabbs.
