Ok, so this is quite a gross subject..But we're all used to chats about feet and foot related stuff I'm sure. I tend to run most days these days and seemingly as a result I tend to get quite alof of dead skin on the heals and pads of my feet, which can easily be removed with foot scrubbing file thing in the shower or bath, but I wonder if there's any tips to reducing the build up of it in the first place? Thanks!

Try something called Flexitol, it's under a fiver and you can get it in Tesco. I use it on my feet for hard skin, and when my daughter was at the doctors about her peeling feet the chiropodist on duty recommended Flexitol to her.

Difficult to stop build up - flexitol is good though. To get rid of it try the Ped egg (egg shaped foot file thingy) very good used on dry feet, gets rid of the dry skin really quickly and painlessly.

Thank you both Will give that a go. JenL - I'm really not sure about those nibbling fish..Can it be hygienic at all? Not to mention what it must be like for the poor fish to go to work each day and find another manky foot it has to eat it's way through... |

Exactky - that's why I said stay away from them There's a manky video of the Ped Egg thing somewhere, I believe. For those who like that kind of thing |
