New found luxury for about a fiver.

Very few of us have got to our age without hard skin on our heels. Cracks in the summer cause untold misery and no matter how many times you have a good soak in an old washing up bowl, they only feel good for a short time.

I don't know how or where I first spotted this, but bought something that has given my old trotters a new lease of life.

It is a shaped lump of semi-hard foam, but has a finish like sand paper.It is shaped to fit nicely in your hand. When I am in the bath, and the trotters are soft, I use this and off comes all the hard skin and the foam does not clog. Within half an hour the foam is dry and when you feet are dry, you use it again and that's where you notice the difference. Then apply any foot cream or bio oil and you'll be off like a shot.

This is the item, it worth every penny imo:-

Cracked heels can be very painful. I found this worked well for me.

Scholl cracked heel repair cream.

Is it better than a good old fashioned pumice stone?

Cured mine by never wearing sandals always wear socks with trainers and use a decent cream mane and tail hoof maker hand and nail therapy works brilliantly.

Ref pumice stone, I've used them before but they tend to wear out, this new thing is used every bathnight (Monday's ha ha) and it look and feels as new. Even as a very old man, I use foot cream, my daughter seems to seek that out for me on her holidays as a present.
