    Flexitol foot balm (not the Boot equivalent, it's not as good), about £6 but very effective and a little goes a long way. Pop on a pair of socks after applying overnight. Try to file off a much hard skin as you can first though. A week's filing and creaming with this will show amazing results.

    Just found this handy link for freebie if you send an sae..........

    Mentioned this on another post, but Olive Oil works really well following the above suggestion; rub it in and stick some cotton socks on for an hour or so. Really softens up rough skin.
    Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Another vote here for Flexitol :D My feet won't use anything else!

    I've tried loads of others but nothing works as well.

    My vote is for Body Shop's hemp hand cream (I don't find the body butter or foot cream as effective). I apply it daily throughout the summer to keep ugly "sandal skin" at bay.

    Be careful with the Ped Egg they are quite harsh and it's really easy to get an infection if you don't clean it properly between uses..I recomend a good pedicare with a chiropodist, mine charges £15 every eight weeks or so and then I use Hemp cream from the body shop in between, I have a real problem with hard skin always have done and finding a decent chiropodist was the best thing for me, I used to think they were for old people LOL
