ha, its even reduced my huge big toe wedge LOL
great arent they? I have a pink one, i find it really funny that we dither over the colours!

mrsmaidamess · 23/06/2009 22:45

lol , yes I had big toe wedges too, I hated them. My heels are like a baby's now.

I bought mine on ebay for a couple of quid. (It was second hand).

JOKE

at QOD.

Mine is white. I wanna pink one.

Meglet · 23/06/2009 22:49

just the thought of those skin shavings makes me go queasy. I shall stick to my fish shaped pumice and some nice foot cream.

Heathcliffscathy · 23/06/2009 22:49

oooo yes. it does work.

mrsmaidamess · 23/06/2009 22:50

Its a fine powder. It's compelling actually. The only difference is you catch them rather than have them all over your carpet or bathroom. Mine were grey!

I've been thinking of getting one as I have horrible dry skin on my heels, but I have an aversion to nail files/emery boards, they make me go cold all over, nails-down-a-blackboard style. Is it anything like that? I just get the impression that it would make a nasty grinding sound.

This post makes me sound even more of a loon than usual.

mrsmaidamess · 23/06/2009 22:59

I thought that too, but it was fine. it feels more like sandpaper than anything really. Go on, get one, you won't regret it

If any of you are in Scotland and near Watt Brothers they have them starting at £2.99. Also have the twin packs with the handle for £7.99.

Tidey · 23/06/2009 23:05

Well, as I'm easily persuaded, I just bought one for £2.59 off eBay! Now all I have to psyche myself up to use it once it arrives

mrsmaidamess · 23/06/2009 23:08

Ooh do report back

Saw them on the market today. Could you get the same effect from a nutmeg grater?

LovelyDear · 24/06/2009 00:01

i've just ordered one thank you mrsmaidamess. but actually my heels haven't acquired their usual summer extra layer yet....

bumsrush · 24/06/2009 00:06

Avon do one for about £4 and its good too.

giraffesCantRunA10k · 24/06/2009 00:19

hippopotamouse thanks!

nappyaddict · 24/06/2009 01:35

i saw one at the market but i think it was fake.

mrsmaidamess · 24/06/2009 07:10

I bet it will still work. Mine's probably a fake, it was so cheap. But I don't care

OP posts:
nappyaddict · 24/06/2009 07:37

i suppose for the money i should have risked it but i was scared it would cut my feet to shreds or something.

wiggletastic · 24/06/2009 07:51

Thanks for the tip Tidey, I will be off to Watt Brothers to get mine. My scary hobbit feet need some TLC pronto!

Squidward · 24/06/2009 08:22

If you are a real horned hoofer a ped egg is NOt Enough. ime

nappyaddict · 24/06/2009 08:31

It would probably be enough if you combine it with something like Flexitol or Scholl cracked heel cream wouldn't it?

HaventSleptForAYear · 24/06/2009 08:34

How bad do your feet actually have to be to go to a chiropodist?

I have tried pumice, and a scarey-looking metal scraper thing and lots of flexitol.

Feet look ok in shoes etc. but there are still some bits bothering me.

But do my feet have to be covered in corns to go to a chiropodist ?

There are plenty in our old-lady market town.

foofi · 24/06/2009 08:36

Spurred on by this thread, I looked mine out this morning and used it - but despite half filling the thing my feet don't feel any softer.

I bought mine a long time ago when they were £9.99 here, but have since seen them for less than half that price, so just thinking about the ped egg normally puts me in a bad mood!

The thing I think makes the most difference to having better looking feet in summer is nail varnish.
