"I'm not sure I could cope with this. Does the skin literally peel off?" it works better if you regularly soak your feet and then yes it literally peels like badly sunburnt skin ... in whole sections | |||

"OP what is the regular cheap treatment you use? ive used footner 3 times now in the last year and have one pack left to use if i ever get allowed back on a plane to somewhere ill b wearing flip flops ... hoping to keep on top of them this time with regular foot cream and stopping running about the house barefoot all the time but a cheaper option would be nice " I've just used the last of the Pure Derm multipack I bought 2 years ago! Open to suggestions for alternatives! But I still recommend Footners if it's your first time! | |||

"I've heard recommendations for similar things. I've found keeping up the foot cream over winter has helped. I haven't got rid of all of the really hard skin, but it's nowhere near as hard " Imagine a world where foot cream isn't a nightly thing... I promise you, it's a game changer. If you can cope with peeling feet! My colleague and I share progress pics | |||

"Ohhh noooo What about the bits on your feet that are already soft like the thin skin on the top of your foot - does that peel off too? Can you choose which bits you want to peel off - it's making me feel a bit but I want it " if there are bits you really dont want to come off you can out vaseline over them before putting on the socks on the top of your feet you get a really really thin layer peel off on the underneath its a much thicker layer - think its all about how much of it is dead | |||

"Now that Spring is here, sandal weather is just around the corner! If you suffer from calluses and hard skin on your feet please put down the pumice stone and listen. There exists a product called an exfoliating foot sock (if it's your first time, splurge on Footners - after that a regular cheap treatment will do the job). The chemicals in the sock make dead skin just peel away, leaving healthy, living skin untouched. Yes, your feet will literally peel like the back of a teenager in Magaluf without his mum to apply sunscreen (so don't do it 4 days before you need to get your feet out!). But it's not painful and it really works. I've not had cracked heels since I started using them 4 years ago. And everyone I've recommended them to loves them too. I just wish there was something so simple to use that got rid of my body hair for months at a time! If you do try it, let me know how you get on! " Have also used this. Makes your feet feel amazing. The first time I used it I got a fright when my feet started to peel but when I realised it was normal I didn't mind. I use them twice a year and so love them. | |||

"I buy one thats 89p and starts peeling 7 days after...a soak and footscrub to take the bits off....moisturing cream and there you go...sandal ready feet..just painted nails needed." I agree that cheap ones work for maintenance, but they've never touched the really hard skin in my heels the way that Footners did. That's why I recommend splurging for the first treatment. | |||

"Even though it's making me feel a bit bleurgh I keep coming back to this thread like some awful spectator at a car crash . I'd love to have baby soft feet but I just couldn't go through with this. I'm doomed." You keep coming back cos you're intrigued... It's not painful at all. You just might need to hoover the carpet where you take your socks off a bit more often! Honestly, it's so worth it! Pre foot exfoliating I once skidded on a laminate floor cos the hard skin on my heel gave no purchase. I'll happily take peeling over recovering from doing unintentional splits and bashing my knee! | |||

"Mr here. We have both done them a few times. Mrs feet peel and feel baby soft. Mine, absolutely nothing. But my heels were getting very cracked and sore. So a few days ago we got what is essentially a cheese grater for my heels. Probably the greatest thing we have purchased all year" These are great just don't overdo it! | |||

I've got 1 from Superdrug that I've not used yet and never tried any of them. I'm a bit wary of having huge foot skin pieces falling off, including in bed. I could revert to bed socks. As a newbie to them, I've not learned whether you peel it off, or it falls and flakes off. | |||

When I'm peeling I generally take off my normal day time socks, have a quick tidy over the bin for the really flappy bits, then go to bed. That's if I can wait till bedtime to look! Honestly, just try it. Feel free to curse me to hell if you don't love it. But it's literally gonna be 7 days out of your life. After the year we've all had, what's 7 days? Go for it! | |||

" These are great just don't overdo it! " Sorry, but there's no such thing as overdoing it... This treatment will only ever take off dead skin. Never living skin. I've just done one and I'd be happy to do one per night for the next 30 days. I won't peel, I've no dead skin left! But it won't harm me if I did so. It'd just be a waste of money. It's like advising someone not to get their eyebrows threaded too often. You obviously only do it when you need it cos it's a waste of cash otherwise! But it's not gonna do any damage. | |||

"Poundland do one called DermaV10. Takes a few days longer to peel than the more pricey ones, but absolutely does the trick. Home Bargains do one in a purple packet with lime text too. About a quid I think. First time I used one, nothing happened for days and days. I'd totally forgotten about it. Went to Townhouse wearing open toe sandals/heels and looked town to see a HUGE piece of skin flapping about off the side of my shoe . I was absolutely mortified and headed home. The next morning, all the skin had peeled off and my feet were baby soft. Totally grim but oddly satisfying too" Thanks. It's nice to know less pricey alternatives | |||

But it's not painful and it really works. I've not had cracked heels since I started using them 4 years ago. And everyone I've recommended them to loves them too. I just wish there was something so simple to use that got rid of my body hair for months at a time! If you do try it, let me know how you get on! " My ex used to carve hers off wae a scalpel | |||

"How long did the whole peeling process take with Footner? Haven’t used those ones yet! X" It's hard to say, cos Footners were the first I tried and my heels were really bad - cracked, but not to the point of bleeding, but truly awful. The main peel then probably lasted 4 or 5 days, but the really bad areas were still coming off in tiny pieces for days and days after that. Subsequent peels haven't taken so long, but they've not had so much to do! Footners don't necessarily peel faster, but I think they do a better job on thicker hard skin build up. That's just my opinion based on the performance of cheaper socks on my 'problem' areas. They can just about sort them out as maintenance, but I don't feel they'd have had the same (or any!) effect on my original state! If you're already using socks then Footners might not offer anything more than your usual brand. But if you've got stubborn areas that your current socks don't touch then Footners will get the job done. Ps. Footners may also work on corns, but not always. So if you also have that problem be aware that it might not solve it! Pps. I recently bought some Footners, figured I'd best put my money where my mouth is! They no longer have the leaflet in them that explains how they work For a science nut like me I found the explanation fascinating | |||

"I've never used that but i do use a thick cream on my feet most days because i have very dry skin (all over). The best treatment ever is a visit to the "foot lady". I love going, it's amazing. She checks my feet over, cuts my nails, then grinds off some corns i have that have made my life a misery since i was a child, then buffs the hard skin areas. Wipes them then puts cream on.

"I have just done my Footner application. So is it best to soak feet every night for best results? " My first time I didn't bother (it wasn't recommended in the user notes) and they still worked. I've since realised that a daily soak might speed up the process a little. And it does make physically peeling it easier. But if you don't have the time don't worry. I find most of the skin comes off inside my socks anyway! Soak, don't soak. It's up to you. You'll peel either way! | |||

"I go to a podiatrist every 6 months ...... far less effort lol I’m tempted reading all these posts though .... " I'd argue going to a podiatrist is more effort! Leave house, travel, make small talk or sit in awkward silence, travel home. Versus Wash feet, put feet in bags. Watch telly, drink wine, browse Fab. Take feet out of bags and rinse. Take socks off carefully in a week's time. | |||
