In the last few years I noticed that my heels were getting dry and cracked (not acceptable in my book). I used all different kinds of pumice stones and creams with no real success.

On a whim I ordered the "Ped Egg". I followed the instructions exactly and to my complete amazement, it worked! I saw a huge improvement with the very first use. Follow it up with pumice if you need to and some kind of creme or lotion to keep in the moisture.

I have to say that I was skeptical but am really very pleased and happy about the results produced by using the "Ped Egg".

HELPFUL HINT: If you order from their website, they'll offer you "Extras" and charge a ridiculous amount of money for each item. My suggestion is to do as I did and only order ONE Ped Egg (no extras). Because when you get the product you'll find a leaflet in the package that offers additional Ped Eggs with FREE SHIPPING.

Ok- first of all I read the reviews here...

This is an amazing product and I hate to see that folks who aren't happy with the decisions they made to buy from random other places are putting negative reviews about this product....(read the negative reviews...you'll see)...

Anyway. I bought this at my local walgreens and it came with 1 pedegg and 2 emery "stickers" for additional smoothing action....And a little form to order more pedegg smoothing/sandpaper replacement stickers...

I have extremely callused feet - so bad that my calluses often make the back of my heels cracked and at right angles... I'd say the thickness of my calluses on the heels (where it is the worst) are around 1/8" thick. Gross.

Anyway- pedegg made quick and comfortable work of removing those calluses and then I used my stand alone smoothing file to finish the job....

I was amazed at how quick and comfortable it was and a little horrified (and fascinated) by the amount of callus dust in the containment area... There were a few tablespoons... It was nasty BUT my feet look better than they have in 6 years of using Diamancel's #20 file (which was close to $50 if I remember correctly).... This clearly did it's job...I washed it after use but I didn't have to stop and rinse it and it showed no signs of "gumming" up during the first run with it- unlike other foot implements that I have had to bang like heck or scrub to finish the job...

And this product seems much safer than the typical callus shavers on the market (and not as scary in concept!)....

I don't think the emery/smoothing sticker things are a big deal- for final smoothing I have a little revlon foot shaped thingy so I don't have to bend more than using this pedegg for a few minutes (I have a screwy spine and a busted hip)....

Anyway- great product if you have nasty feet like me or you like doing the home pedicure thing....

I ordered this product in hopes that it would help my poor feet. I was very close to taking a sander to my feet, but didn't need to once I used PedEgg. One treatment and my feet are smooth and touchable again. I don't snag on my sheets or bedding and I can wear sandles again without feeling embarrassed. I only rated this product a 4 because it doesn't catch all the shavings. Infact, the shavings are like dust and the egg doesn't catch them all. But I can live with a little mess and just put a towel underneath my feet to catch the shavings. It's no big deal to me, but because it's not true to it's advertisement, I gave it a 4. This product is sooo worth buying, I would order another one without hesitating!

I've got really bad feet. Terrible calluses, and heels that get so dry that it was always a toss-up as to which one would destroy my pantyhose first, the callus or the heel. It got to the point that I was putting moleskin on the areas, before getting into my pantyhose. What a pain, not to mention the expense. I saw this little gizmo on TV, and since the price was right, I decided to give it a try. Wow! It really works. It's just like a little cheese grater, but your feet are the cheese. I followed the directions, and before I knew it, those ugly calluses were gone, and my heels were soft. I could hardly believe it. Here's a product that actually does what it says it will. I figure with the money I save on pantyhose and moleskin, it's already paid for itself. This is a great little gizmo. Your feet will thank you.

This thing WORKS!!! I just gave my mom a little pedicure and her heels were harder than mine. I think this is better than using the blade that the salon use to remove calluses and it is gentle. Don't have to worry cutting too deep. This is people for really dry and cracked feet. soft heels need not buy! good for giving grandma a special treat if you know what I mean!! No it wont make foot look younger but it will feel younger seriously! I can't be any more emphatic! I wish I brought two! One recommendation of when to use this, wash your feet the night before and when your is bone dry, then use the ped egg. I recommend using the emmory pads that stick to the egg because it gives more of a handle when you are manually smoothing your heels rather than using those flimsy thin emmory boards. also, to get the crevices, (for the older folks) you gotta pull on the skin a bit. Works great on callouses my mom had one at the ball of her foot and after 1 min or two depending on how thick it is, and it disappears. another tip: apply some pressure but not too much especially on the callouses. also put a towel on the floor it collects the dead skin but some do fall through crevices. Works as a great prep to avoid embassrassment when you are returning to the salon knowing you haven't been there in a long time or give it to the person who will doing feet before they begin the pedicure. if you use it while your heel is wet the skin will get stuck between the blades. use lotion afterwards to keep it smooth! I am so excited can't wait to use it next weeks to come!!

I have really bad heels and have since I was in my 30's...my skin peels off as well. Instead of using scissors, I decided to try this little guy to see what would happen. (I found mine at RiteAid, which is cheaper than ordering from TV). The blades work best on raised callous areas around the ball of the foot and edges of heels. I had to "scrub" back and forth pretty hard on my heels--and if you have any peeling skin, be careful because you can nick yourself. My heels were a bit tender after, and it did take 2-3 times to get them to where I wanted them to be. I highly suggest using a LOT of cream after doing this. The egg itself is a nice design to hold but the shavings went all over. I couldn't get the bottom off easily to "dispose" of the trapped shavings, so I just turned it upside down over the garbage.

I love getting pedicures and with my feet, it's something that I really need to do frequently. However, it can get a bit taxing on the wallet.

After seeing the PedEgg on t.v., I was convinced that it was what I needed to keep my heels soft in between pedicures.

On my first usage, I had cracked and dry heels and some dry patches on the pads of my feet. It took about 1/2 hour to do both of my feet, but the result was amazing! My feet are baby soft...softer than even they are after a pedicure.

It's worth every penny...especially since I won't need to get a pedicure nearly so often...actually maybe never. I'll just get them because I want to!

After shredding the heels of yet another pair of panty-hose I finally surrendered and went out and bought a Ped Egg. I figured that for $9.99 it's almost as cheap as another pair of pantyhose, and if it's as good as they say it is, it might save me from ripping up a few dozen more pairs in the long run.

How it works: The Ped Egg is shaped like an egg that's flattened on one side and it's about four inches long, small enough to fit into any purse. The round side fits comfortably into the palm of your hand. The flat side -- the business side -- looks like a mini cheese-grater and works on pretty much on the same principle. Rub it over your heels and the graters pulverize the dry skin painlessly into so much powder. The powder is trapped inside the Ped Egg, but as you change its position on your feet while you use it, some of the dust will fall out through the holes, so put a towel or a paper towel or a newspaper under your foot to catch any residue. The Ped Egg comes with two oval-shaped emery pads to rub over your feet after you finish using it. (The emery pads have an adhesive backing to adhere to the bottom cover of the Ped Egg.) Slather on a lot of lotion at the end, and your heels will feel softer than a baby's butt. No kidding -- this thing really does work.

Once you've got your feet in shape with the Ped Egg, weekly maintenance (or twice a week in cold, dry weather when cracked heels are endemic) should be all that's required. Unless you've got actual scales on your feet, using it every day shouldn't be necessary. You can buy replacement emery pads, but actually any emery block that you pick up for a dollar in the nail care section of your local drugstore should work just as well. One caveat: I've read some reviews that said people have tried the Ped Egg to smooth their elbows. If I were you, I wouldn't. The skin on your elbows is much thinner than the skin on the soles of your feet and your heels, and abrading your elbows with a Ped Egg blade could be painful at best and possibly do some serious scarring. You can try rubbing the emery pad over your elbows; I did this, and it worked fine. Just don't overdo it on the elbow grease (pun intended) or you'll wind up with some sore elbows. And slather on the lotion afterwards.

With normal use (two or three times a week), the Ped Egg blade should last you from six to eight weeks. The replacement blades come three to a pack, and unlike the Ped Egg, the replacement blade box gives instructions on how to remove the blade to empty the egg and/or replace a new blade: hold the top cover by the sides while you squeeze the blade cartridge on both ends, and pop out the cartridge one end at a time. After a few tries you get the hang of it.

All in all, the Ped Egg is a great little gizmo that lives up to expectations. I expect to save a minor fortune on panty-hose.

ASOTVI review of the Ped Egg, pedicure foot file. For a complete write up go to www.asotv.info.

I ordered a Ped Egg because my feet have always been rough, calloused, and my heels have always been dry, cracked, and gross! I was so excited when it arrived-I used it that night. It worked great! It made my feet smooth for the first time in several years. Everyone that had seen my feet before were amazed with the results. It didn't catch all of the shavings, but I knew that from reading other reviews, so I was prepared. You just need to put something down on the floor to catch them. I was amazed with how many shavings that came out of it! I am so glad that I bought this-I am going to buy another one so that I will always have one around.
