Review (5/5): Well made, works great, easy to clean
This is the first time I've ever purchased a foot file. From my pictures you'll see how clear it is I should have bought one a long time ago. The only time I ever get my feet filed is when I get a pedicure. Maybe once a year. Having the ability to do that at home will definitely help me keep my feet looking, well, normal.
The wood on the file looks really nice and it comes with a suction cup and string so you can hang it up if you want. The red side of the file is quite coarse to help really clean up your feet, but causes no discomfort at all. The black side is also coarse, but less so. It helps with smoothing. Overall it seems well made and like it will last quite a while.
I haven't had it long and have actually only used it once, but just once made a huge difference. I did not follow directions and soak my feet for 10-30 minutes in salt water. I simple took a shower, dried my feet, and used the file on both feet for 5 minutes total. If I had soaked my feet I'm sure I would have got even better results. I also put aloe lotion on my feet after. I never put lotion on my feet and they're usually very dry and cracked because of that. I intend to use the file every day for the next couple days briefly after I shower until I get my feet looking good. After doing so I'll add the lotion as part of the regimen. Using the file is going to help keep me conscious of keeping my feet hydrated so it does more than just file. :-)
After using the file I rinsed it off in the sink with mild soap. It took 10 seconds to get all the skin off and looking brand new again. If you have calluses or other rough spots on your feet this file is a great way to take care of that with little effort. I definitely recommend it.
I received this file at a discount in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own and have not been influenced.
