My grandparents used to grind them with a specific type of rock when washing. Don't remember its name, but it was white with many holes in it.
Scholl makes a battery powered rotary tool for this. Great if you're lazy or have a really thick layer already.
I think this is called a pumice stone, but I have never used one.
Yup, that's the one. Never used one either, but I should probably start since taking my socks off feels like I've got velcro on my heels.
Hmm... Wonder if that's how velcro was first invented...
Look up PedEgg. I swear it's not some obscure porn.
I trusted you and checked it out. It is indeed the real thing, but seeing that metal grate reminded me of an old morph video where the first part was about shredding the skin off a heel and the second was part of an ad shredding cheese on a meal.
Nostalgic times of a purer and disgusting internet.
Yup. Pumice stoves work well but you need to be careful how much you use them. I use them once a week or so in the shower with warm water running over my feet. If you draw blood, you've gone too far and it will sting like a bitch.
Absolutely use one. They are awesome.
I am almost certain that this is incorrect, but I always feared my boots would tear up my feet if I lost my callouses.
I use it to help get the dead skin off, the pumice stone won't generally take off calluses unless you just go nuts.. Now, there are things that will take calluses off like microplaners (think the kitchen tool that zests citrus skin).
PedEgg. I get older and I just get these calluses, and it's like a cheese grater for your feet. It's terrible, but feet calluses no look good. I see a podiatrist and he said it's these damn high arches. I just think it's being in my late 30s, unfortunately.
If it's just mild to moderate dryness and you find a pumice too intense, you can also use a soft bristle brush (of the size and shape of your choosing) with a good lather of soap suds. If it's just a small spot on your heel, you could even just get away with demoting an old toothbrush to that job.
