Does anybody still use a ped egg? I broke mine out last night and used it, slathered some cream on my feet, wore socks to bed, and my feet look brand new again 😊. Maybe not brand new, but pretty good.
I've looked at the amopea foot thing in the "as seen on tv" aisle waiting to checkout. It looks nice also but is pricey. I'll keep using the ped egg for now.

I use one along with some other tools both in and out of the shower. I'm not sure which tool matters as much as simply using it on a consistent basis. If you pay regular attention to your feet, they need very little attention.

I have a two-sided foot file by Chica (HEB brand) that works very well. Revlon makes one similar. I also use that Flexitol heel balm

Microplane has a foot file that's amazing. That's what I use. I like that it has a long handle. I can get a better grip on it than I can on my ped egg. Works great! Recently, I ordered a callus eliminator from Amazon and I am amazed at how well it works too on that thick, cracked heel stuff. I have tried it all and this seems to be working the best of anything I have ever tried. It's messy but works! |

I never liked the Ped Egg because for me it hurt. I ordered this tool a while back and like it soooooo much more. The long handle really helps too. I'm pretty sure it was a Pea recommendation at some point. |

I have this. micropedi.com/AP-3RP/micro-pedi-callus-removerYou do have to replace rollers and of course batteries, but it works very well. Amazon has rollers that are off brand that work fine and are much cheaper. They make a rechargeable one also. |

I just use a file/scrubber. But I've found this new stick called Miracle Heel Stick, which is awesome. I love that it's a stick, I just run it over my feet before I put on my socks and my heels are looking good.

If you pay regular attention to your feet, they need very little attention. All the gadgets and gizmos don't matter. It's a bit of regular attention. A quick scrub with a tool and some lotion on a regular basis is the key. I would say if you pay regular attention then you don't need all that elbow grease to get them back into shape. |

I use a tool I bought at wally world It's called Silk Feet. It's an oval screen that feels like sandpaper. I use it when my feet are nice and dry and it works like sandpaper creating a ton of dust. You can wash it off and it's ready for next time. www.google.com/shopping/product/11146448261974848290?lsf=seller:7815,store:15641790204440071324&prds=oid:9672491813479617855&q=silky+feet+screen&hl=en-us&ei=HSP-WOljg4yPBIeGpPAG&lsft=gclid:CMOdiJ69vdMCFRc7gQodRJAKkg |

Since I started using Flexitol as part of my foot care routine, I haven't had to use the ped egg. A regular two-sided file, Flexitol, and good foot cream and my feet are smooth as a baby's bottom. And, I used to have cracks as deep as the Grand Canyon! Used consistently, Flexitol, in my opinion, is the best foot product ever!

You have to soak your feet and then apply it and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then I use the cheese grater after I rinse them off. I'm still shocked at how well it's working. I have done it twice and my feet are almost normal. And they were awful. |

I used to use the PedEgg but was taken to task when I went for a professional pedicure last summer. The woman who did my pedi insisted that I stop using the Egg and use Mr. Pumice and Aquaphor. I stopped following her recommendation during the winter months and didn't use anything. Now it's time to break out Mr. Pumice again. |

I agree with the foot file. I have tried a lot of solutions for my feet and this, along with putting vaseline on my feet at night (suggested by a nail tech) works. I don't do the vaseline every night, just when it starts getting dry. Then I foot file.

You put on foot cream after you put on Flexitol? I do like Flexitol, I just have to be consistent! I do, mostly to keep my feet moisturized. I usually do my feet in the evening while watching TV; a little smoothing with the file, if necessary, apply Flexitol, let it dry a bit, then I rub in Bath & Body Works Tru Blue Spa Lay it on Thick shea butter extra rich body cream (phew, that's a mouthful!) lol Being consistent really is the trick, but even if I slack off a bit, Flexitol quickly gets my feet back in shape. |

I'm happy with my ped egg and haven't looked at what is new out there.
