I just got my Microplane Foot File yesterday. My heels were very cracked & rough, despite using various creams & lotions that are supposed to smooth rough feet & help get rid of callouses. I'd also been using a regular buffer, and had been using a (yikes!) callous shaver. The buffer only minimally worked and the shaver usuall worked and signified that it had removed the callous by delivering a sharp pain followed by blood.

I used the Microplane for about 5 minutes on each foot (no soaking or moisturizing required before use) and immediately noticed a difference.

The second use this morning, followed by a moisturizer, and I have new feet with no pain, raw spots, or cuts.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and was able to manage they gymnastics required to get to my feet long enough to make this work with no problem.

I suggest you use this outside or over a big sheet of newspaper to catch the tiny skin flakes that fall off - kind of a gross topic but better gross in writing than on your carpet. :)

Now if I could just reach my feet long enough to paint my nails...

Wow! Is this a terrific "must have" personal item or what. Okay, I have "Fred Flintstone" feet. . .you've never seen so much calloused and thick, dead skin. Unlike most scrappers (the instrument is actually called a "foot rasp" by the way), this one REALLY does the trick. The great bonus is all the dead skin is caught in the box and not on your bedroom or bathroom floor. You just empty it in the toilet or garbage can. Painless, eash to hold, comes with a sand buffer for finishing. The amount of "skin flakes" inside the box when I first used it was....well disgustingly large (like 1/3 cup). This is THE most impressive little gadget I have seen in years. I'm giving them to everyone as gifts next Christmas!

I have to agree with what's already been said. When summer comes around, I dread sitting with a little pumice stone or file and sawing away to try and get rid of the dead skin. I picked this up and I have to tell you--I'm in love. No more worrying about soaking long enough ahead of time, you just do it on dry feet.
It doesn't hurt at all, it feels like any other slightly roughened foot file--but with much better and cleaner results. Now I'm ready to wear strappy sandals without worrying about the buildup of dry skin.

This product is truly amazing! It really does what it says. I couldn't believe all of the dead skin that came off of my feet. I highly recommend it!

I have tried many foot creams, buffers, files, etc. over the years, but this is the only one that really works. It was amazing how my calluses were significantly better after the first use. Highly recommended!

Stubborn calluses and rough foot skin are not only unsightly but uncomfortable. This clever invention gently planes away and reveals new pink skin. Supplementing with a good moisturizing cream complements the results. The only thing that I do not like is that the shavings can leak out of the compartment. Still, it is the best tool I have tried yet.

I have had very thick callused feet for years and i always had to sit down and manupulate my plus size body into some abnormal twisty bendy shape to use the god awful foot rasp or(razor) as it is well known. i have cut myself many times and i just wasnt happy with the results. well those days are over as i have found Microplane!

I got mine home about a week ago and wow what a difference this thing has made! my feet are soft and pretty with no cuts or pain and no more twisty moves on the couch. Although i am a plus size girl, i have no problems reaching my hard callused heels with the extra long reach handle and collection cup top. i am so happy now and my feet have never looked or felt better. Believe me, this product works!

Because of surgery on my feet, I have a gait that has in the past given me thick, cracked and bleeding callouses. Despite using a prescription cream to prevent callous build up, I have been going to a podiatrist about once a year to have callouses removed with the surgical equivalent of an exacto blade. Since using the microplane foot file, my feet are in better shape than ever. I'm a believer in this product. It's easy and painless.

The type of foot instrument that you are likely to cut yourself with is the one with a blade, i.e. a SHAVER or "razor". A rasp is an instrument with a "cheese grater" type surface and not likely to cause a cut at all.
