Bare feet or slippers ?

I am a bare foot person all year round. I do use the little acid peel bootees a couple of times a year, with brilliant results.

If it is very cold I put on my Ugg slippers, they last approx three - four years which offsets the cost.

I go bare feet a lot of the time especially in the summer. Only ever wear mule type flat slippers in the winter as I hate my feet being hot. Have a small amount of hard skin on my heels I just use a foot file and ordinary foot cream and after a few applications it’s fine again. Never found walking bare footed has made it worse

Not sure if any good, but in Home Bargain they have exfoliating foot type of socks/boots for around 89p for one pair.I was looking at them yesterday.

I wear my Scholl toe post sandals all year round. I use the electric hard skin remover and cream. My heels are not too bad but I do have callouses on the side of my foot. We have hard floors and one elderly dog has continence problems so no barefoot walking chez Sodapop.

I have dry skin and can have problems with hard skin on my feet. From my experience I don’t think going barefoot makes any difference but my feet can get cold so I wear yoga socks or these fabulously comfortable shoes (bought in the sale though!).

How about slipper socks with antislip rubber grips? That’s what I wear in the winter, summer barefoot. I don’t think hard skin is connected.

I wear Crocs flip flops all year round and yes I have had several broken toes.
I was left with sore feet with skin thickening, more on one foot, after chemotherapy.
I use Clarins or L'Occitane foot cream, works a treat.

I love walking around the house barefoot, but I do get hard skin. I go to a chiropodist every eight weeks and that takes care of it!

I don't have any hard skin so cannot help. However a word of warning that may help. Having seen so many FB's in feet (foreign bodies) during my career, I for one would be wary of going barefoot.

I wear crocs not slippers and have lovely feet, I occasionally soak them in the foot spa but that's it. I can't reach both feet to apply cream due to disability so just as well I don't need to. I have no hard skin at all so need to exfoliate.

I used to have hard skin that cracked and was discoloured. Looked awful.

Then went to the podiatrist and what a miracle!

I now use a foot cream with urea every day after showering and they are beautifully pink and soft.

I do wear slippers though.

My feet get very cold so I always wear warm slippers, except in a heatwave. I just rub my heels with a pumice stone in the bath to keep them smooth.

I hate going barefoot unless it's very warm weather. I feel the cold easily.I have sheepskin lined slippers, and I like to wear slipper socks .I have recently treated myself to some cashmere ones from TKMaxx as not a fan of the synthetics .And I find using either Flexitol or O'keefes foot cream after a bath or shower and before I go to bed with the cosy socks helps a great deal.And now see a podiatrist every 6 /8weeks.

bikergran. B&M have a shelf edge label on their Tea Tree and Peppermint foot pack which calls it a peel. It’s not. It is the moisturising pack which I found gave excellent but short lived results. i.e. my feet looked great but after one bath were dry again. I had thought I had found a great bargain (foot peels generally cost about 8X as much or more) but on reading the foot pack before use I realised that it wasn’t a peel.

Ok thanks will read the pack with bit more detail next time I go in (which may be tomorrow as I cannot keep out of the place ,I spend a fortune in Home Bargain)
