mine have! some people have lovely feet, mine wern't too bad, but this last 3/4 years they are not good, corns (after wearing some Clarks £68 shoes)
Nails not very nice, dry skin, at the mo I am soaking them in salt water, I also have some of those bootie sock things that moisturise them, so I will be doing that afterwards.
As its coming summer (well eventually) would love to get them in tip top condition. (Can't afford a chiropodist) so its d.i.y I'm afraid.
Calm down everyone. Some of these posts are very amusing. My postie is female, her name is Nicky. Can't imagine her doing nail painting as a sideline though
I have had circulatory problems and it shoes in my toes! I've got horned toes - well at least on the big toes - so perhaps my devilish personality is showing through!!!!
I'm very lucky, I have free podiatrist sessions every 3 months and he tells me he aims to give people 'pretty feet' I must ask mine if he/she can do something for me - lucky you BradfordLass! She tends to give me exercises and some ghastly but essential orthotics.
Not me. I use a tennis ball and either sit or stand whilst rolling it under my foot. Only one foot at a time, mind you...? It's a great way to ease tension on your tendons and is also widely advocated as a help if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. Use enough pressure to feel slight discomfort but not pain.
Let's hope that BL's 'podiatrist' is not 38. Mine are probably about that age - one was a lovely young man and the other a woman who was good but tended to bark at me
The best 'foot experience' I had was reflexology carried out by a woman with a lovely soothing voice.
Jalima1108 There's nothing quite like a hands-on experience. I love having my scalp massaged at the hairdressers - I could stay there all day. Likewise, back massages at a spa. Peace and quiet and warm soothing oils...bliss. ? Grayshott Spa is a favourite.
Sorry to interrupt 'Fifty shades of nail polish' but I would like to thank all the GNs because I've read the good advice and have just ordered a 'cheese grater' (thank you GG54) as my arms were aching from using my old Ikea pumice thing (Micropedi gadget I bought was useless. Went in the bin). Also ordered a foot package that includes those sock thingies.
Could you now go onto the thread vein erm 'thread' and come up with some ideas for my mug. Not many replies on there.
I hope I will soon be, well, I will never be 'bikini ready' again but 'presentable'? for the summer.
I've lost, as of today, 25 lbs in 28 weeks (with Christmas in the way). I'm starting to feel so much better after all the nightmare years. Phew. Getting my mojo back.
The best skin smoother/remover for feet, by far, is one I bought from Lloyds pharmacy for about £3.50. Had it years. It's simply made of wood with what looks like black sandpaper on both sides of the lower half. I only use my Superdrug battery thingy for top-ups. Because I go barefoot a lot of the time, I use the sandpaper one most of all. It works beautifully and I moisturize well after washing/drying my feet then put fluffy bedsocks on.
