Easily the best..., February 7, 2009
This review is from: Denco Easy Grip Professional Foot Smoother ~ Callus Shaver ~ w/Lifetime Warranty (Health and Beauty)
..foot file product I've used.. And I think I've tried them all.
For those of you a little confused as to exactly what this is from the picture, like I was.. It's a metal foil with a rough surface that has holes. The holes are crucial for a product of this type because it allows the dead and smoothed away skin a place to exit. The problem with many such products is they clog easily, making them less effective or require extensive cleaning while using them.
Not this one. The dead skin exits the holes and a quick swish in some water and it's completely clean again. I also never noticed it getting clogged while in use. It's far superior to the ped egg, and doesn't tear up your feet like the effective, but very rough and prone to clogging foot files.
Used with a liquid callus remover product, like 'be natural' callus remover, you can solve almost any callus or rough and dry skin foot problem, and provide yourself with a professional pedicure for pennies on the dollar compared to a salon.
Remember this doesn't cure fungus problems, so if you suspect that, follow up with some sort of anti-fungal cream like Lamisil or the generic equivalent.
The lifetime guarantee is nice as well.
I've dealt with this company before and have a pair of their excellent, and wonderfully designed nose hair trimmers. I can't recommend them enough.
This product works fine dry for general foot smoothing purposes, but like most pedicure products really shines after a shower or brief soaking, which softens up your callouses somewhat. So, if you have a heavy duty problem, like others suggest, use after you've soaked your feet or after a shower.
The company that produces this product (Denco) also has a heavy duty version that has a thicker foil, but it has the same grit as this one, so it isn't necessarily anymore effective. I suspect it was produced for the pedicure market. This one is practically identical and fine for home use, and is less expensive.
Again this is a great product, and the best one I've used on my hard core, and hard charging feet. Yes I'm a guy. And no, I no relationship with this company whatsoever. I just developed a dry, rough, cracked foot problem in my 40's, due mostly to heredity and neglect and got tired of just living with it.
Buy it.

A truly wonderful product, January 16, 2008
This review is from: Denco Easy Grip Professional Foot Smoother ~ Callus Shaver ~ w/Lifetime Warranty (Health and Beauty)
I was a little bit tentative at first about using this instrument on my feet. It looks like it could hurt (assurance: it doesn't ... at all). But now I can't believe I have wasted years buying various pumice and sandpaper type foot smoothers that don't work well or quickly wear out. For only a few dollars more, this Easy Grip Foot Smoother is the best thing since sliced bread. I work on my feet long hours every day and often walk ten miles before noon. My feet take a beating, and although proper foot care is a very high priority for me, it is a daily battle to keep calluses and corns at bay. I love this super-efficient, effective, painless, perfectly designed foot smoother so much that I bought several as gifts for friends and family. (Note: I find that this product works best on DRY feet!)

The BEST foot smoother of them all!, July 12, 2008
This review is from: Denco Easy Grip Professional Foot Smoother ~ Callus Shaver ~ w/Lifetime Warranty (Health and Beauty)
I've used many other types of smoothers on my feet, among those the Egg, callus scraper with a blade, electric buffer, and many other hand-held files. My feet were in horrible shape, with deep, painful cracks, and I only wore sandels with socks, because I was so embarrased.
Based on the reviews for this product I hesitantly bought it, although it seemed a little expensive. I have NEVER had anything that removes dead skin from my feet as quickly and painlessly as this file! I used to cut the dickens out of my feet using the blade smoother, making it painful to walk until the cuts healed. The Egg type foot smoother also hurt my heels. No matter how hard I buff my feet with this smoother, it hasn't hurt my feet.
This product may look similar to other "grater" type files, but it's far superior and has a lifetime warranty. The only negative is that it doesn't have an attached holder (like the Egg) to contain the skin filings, which end up as a very fine powder. I go outside on the deck to keep the "foot-dust" from getting all over everything in my bathroom. It's sooooo worth it, because now my feet are as smooth as a baby's butt!! I can't recommend this product highly enough.
