Microplane Colossal Foot File Scraper - The Original Stainless Steel Foot Rasp, Dead Skin/Callus Remover for Feet, Gentle Foot Scrubber, Pedicure Tools for Salon-Quality Foot Care, White

My feet were starting to get dry and crackly, and I didn't have a pumice stone... so I found this on Amazon and ordered it. When it came, I actually laughed because this is literally a foot grater. It just says Microplane on the handle. Like, I have a microplane that I use for zest and nutmeg and things, and this was basically the same. Maybe save a few bucks on a kitchen grater and just get this one? Haha, just kidding. (I honestly would if it didn't seem so gross, though.)Regardless, this is amazing for those of us who hate dry feet, food callouses, hard, cracked heels... and honestly, feet in general. I really hate feet, especially my own, and this is so effective you have quite a bit of time until you have to use it again. Yay! Less foot contact! This thing literally just grates the dried skin off. It's so fast and so effective, and it feels much more sanitary than getting all your dried foot skin stuck in a pumice stone. It rinses clean easily, and it's super easy to use in the shower. I was aghast at how much dried skin came off of my feet. After I got out of the shower, I put on some foot cream, and it absorbed right in - and honestly I just marveled at how soft my heels were! I've used the Ped Egg, a knockoff Ped Egg, many pumice stones of different shapes and sizes, and this knocks all of them out of the water. It's not the cutest thing to keep in your shower, but hey, whatever works! It's also really cheap - huge bonus. I've already bought one for my mom - that's how you know it's good!The only complaint I would have is that the grater holes don't extend out until the edges: there's maybe a half a centimeter - centimeter of just regular, flat metal towards the edges, and then the plastic barrier. This makes it really hard if you wanna scrub a bit at your toes (I don't know about you, but I get the same hard, cracked, dry conditions on the side of my big toe). If they extended the grater area all the way to the edge, this would be a truly perfect product. Also if they made it look less like a kitchen grater! Otherwise, buy this and revel in having baby soft feet.

I have heel callouses from limping, giving to my right foot. My left heel takes all the pressure. Plus my swollen ankle (bone-on-bone) won’t fit well in shoes so all summer, in south TX heat, I’ve worn flip-flops. Callouses & dry. I try to control build up to prevent the inevitable cracking & potential infection. I live on a lil ranch so it’s not all pretty yards or sidewalks for me.Last yr I bought my 2nd electric callous remover with various roughness of pumace stone. It does okay but I was still having too much build up & therefore some layering & splitting.I was a little afraid of this bad boy bc I use Microplane in the kitchen. Knew it was super sharp & was concerned of going too far. BUT, it was just what I needed to get past the layering effect! The stone rolling over the thick, dry skin wasn’t really taking it down far enough. This puppy immediately took that off!!Def would only use with fair amount of build up & only dry. The rasp has very narrow slots so it takes a fine layer each pass & easily works out any resistant spots. The electric device creates a very smooth surface after that. In fact, first try I used the Microplane which would’ve taken forever & then used the Dr Sholls diamond hand file which I ordered at the same time. It was a great follow-up to Microplane & usable in areas where MP would’ve been too aggressive.If you’re seeing build up from neglect, layering (lateral splits) & cracking (up-down splits), this might help you get back to very close to normal without all the acrobatics in the shower. You can sit outside if you like, have good light & carefully remove that troublesome dead skin build up. I follow up with a good heel treatment to get moisture back into the skin. The dry, dry hot, hot weather on exposed & abused feet is not a good combo. This really helped me best!

Fantastic. Lasted 8 years and I'm here to buy another. The cutting part is still great but the plastic broke when I stepped on it. So don't step on yours.YES, THIS IS DANGEROUS. That's how it's supposed to be. Don't use this after a few beers in front of the campfire. ALWAYS SOAK and clean well first. Always do with lots of light. If you are careful, this is an excellent tool to keep your feet healthy.
