I always loved walking barefoot around the house. Because of that the bottoms of my feet are hard. But thankfully I discovered the Microplane Foot File and I have to say it's the best foot file I have ever used. I have tried Dr Scholl's as well as the Ped egg when it was all the trend but in my opinion Microplane is the best.

Some people may be put off by the fact that this foot file looks like a cheese grater, but I love this handy tool. Its shaped like a paddle and the handle is easy to grip. Because of the size it can do large areas so the job can be done quickly. I also love that I don't need to soak my feet prior to scraping. Although you're able to use it on wet or dry feet my preference is dry.

As soon as you start using the file you see the dry, dead skin. Although it doesn't have anything to catch the shavings, the design of it has plastic edging surrounding the steel which seems to keep the shavings on the steel blade. I'm not sure how cause I thought there would be a mess everywhere. Once I'm finished I apply Vaseline to my feet and apply gel socks for about thirty minutes and after that my feet are left nice and soft. As for cleaning my foot file I just wash it with antibacterial soap and water and dry it well and sore till the next time I need it.

I have seen Microplane Foot Files on eBay and Amazon. I personally purchased mine on ebay. It cost me roughly 17$. I have had mine for a while and it still works well although not as great as when I first got it which is normal for any foot file so I need to repurchase soon. I think this time I will order two, especially since I know it's a product I love and will get alot of use out of.
