It's strangely satisfying.
to my cart, and soon a product that cost me less than my lunch that day — and looked like a giant cheese grater — arrived in the mail.
It's promoted as “the perfect solution for dry, calloused and cracked heels,” but quite frankly, this 11-inch paddle-shaped file with metal-like teeth scared me at first. So, before attempting to use it on my feet, I reached out to a top podiatrist for some insight. She confirmed what I already knew — that foot creams and scrubs don’t always move the needle and that stubborn skin sometimes only responds to mechanical exfoliation. “The key is to find the right tool and use it correctly,” podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal told me.
Although the instructions suggest using it on either wet or dry feet, Splichal recommends soaking your feet for at least 10 minutes prior to scraping. “You’ll get better results on softened skin while minimizing the risk of injury, including nicks and cuts,” she said. The tool has little metal edges that create a mechanical debridement of the skin. “They’re not actually blades, but they can cut if you’re too aggressive,” Splichal said.
I soaked my feet while showering, patted them dry, then picked up the tool and gently scraped the bottoms of my feet, filing in an up-and-down and back-and-forth direction. Light yellow-tinged flakes started piling up on a piece of black paper I had placed on the floor, and I have to say, it was somewhat satisfying to see the dead skin fly off my feet. I had to force myself to stop and put the file down.
