This miracle worker has got over 3,800 positive reviews, and I love it too! In my house we call it the cheese grater, because that’s essentially what it is. This thing means business, and is meant for truly thick, crusty, calloused feet, not just tootsies that are a little dry. From my own experience, I’ve realized a good rule of thumb (er, toe?) is that if you can feel it while using it, stop, because you’ll probably end up hurting yourself by peeling away perfectly good skin. But if the skin is dead or thick enough that you don’t really feel it coming off, go to town. My dad has had super cracked, dry feet for my whole life, and this product is the only thing I’ve ever seen get his heels anywhere close to smooth. I use it for the rough, dry skin on the balls of my feet and heels and it’s better than any pumice stone I’ve tried. You should definitely use it over a towel or a drain, but I will say the corners of the tool do a pretty decent job catching the lil skin flakes it removes — and trust me, there will be a lot of them. And you will be thrilled.
Promising review: “This thing is pretty amazing. I was skeptical for sure, since I’ve tried all kinds of lotions, balms, and stone-based products, none of which helped my heels whatsoever. I’ve worn socks to bed for years, because if I don’t the sheets hardly last a week before they have holes rubbed through them. My wife ordered this thing that looks like a mini cheese grater, LOL, and after two minutes — two minutes!! — of rubbing it on my heel, it’s a complete 180. I never would’ve believed it until I tried it myself. This is well worth double what it costs.” —LBK
