Footner Exfoliating Socks

This product definitely made my 71-year-old soles peel. In each of the thinner skin areas (arches, tops of feet, tops & sides of toes, upper sides of heels), thankfully only a very thin layer peeled. (It was similar to peeling a layer of Duco Cement from my palms as a kid.) On the thicker-skinned, problematic areas (balls of feet, bottoms of heels, pads of toes, and the underneath areas where the toes join the foot) - where I needed it most - thicker layers peeled off. None of the peeling caused any discomfort. I had healing blisters on the backs of both heels when I used the product. One blister was still not completely closed and - despite the warnings - I applied the peel anyway. There was a slight burning sensation when the alcohol came into contact with the raw skin, but it was expected, short-lived, and completely bearable. Both blisters peeled very evenly and in nice, concentric circles starting with the outer edges, thanks to this product. The slippers' closing tabs (tape) did not work for me. However, since you are instructed to place a pair of your own socks over the gel-filled plastic slippers, there was no problem with the slippers leaking or sliding around. Although the directions instruct you to discard the gel-filled slippers after a single use, I sealed each slipper with a strip of masking tape and used them again in 5 weeks. They worked just as well the second time around, and I plan to try it a third time in another 5 weeks or more.... I did not really need to use the gel-filled slippers again in only 5 weeks - I just wanted to stay ahead of the ugly, age-related skin-thickening process. Before each treatment, I took a looooong, hot bath and applied the gel-filled slippers immediately. I also wore the slippers well beyond the one-hour suggested period, since my feet were in bad shape. (They thicken and crack on their own - and I can peel off layers in certain problem places.) Bathing (v. showering) during the product's peeling process - which takes about 3 days to complete itself, once it's begun - also probably aided in the dead skin removal. Layers simply rolled off nicely when I scrubbed my feet. Nevertheless, my feet were not sandal-worthy until approximately 3 days after the peeling began. There is about a 5-day period of ugliness, beginning approximately 4 -5 days after the application: first, the feet resemble brick walls (where the soon-to-be-shedding areas are starting to crack into small segments) and later, when thin hunks of skin are hanging off the feet. I will buy this product again, when I stop re-re-using the original, and I would recommend it to anyone with thickened soles. The peeling created by the gel was much more pleasant and attractive than my forced peeling (which sometimes ended in blood) of my thick, cracked soles.

The instructions in the box are very basic, so I googled the instructions for similar products. This is what worked for me: 1. While in the shower, I pumiced my soles and used a foot brush on my toes and the tops of my feet. 2. I got out the shower and then soaked my feet for 25 minutes in warm water with Epsom salts, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and a squirt of liquid castile soap. Steps 1 & 2 soften the feet, remove superficial skin, and increase absorption of the exfoliating solution. 3. I then dried my feet -- you don't want water from your feet to dilute the exfoliating solution. 4. The so-called exfoliating "socks" are just thin cellophane packets, so be careful when putting them on. I also put ankle socks over top of them to keep them in place. 5. I sat upright with my feet flat on the floor because I wanted my feet submerged in the solution. I kept the socks on for 1'15". If your feet start to burn, then only wear them for the recommended 1 hour. 6. I rinsed and dried my feet, and moisturized them as usual. The instructions say to remove your nail polish, but I didn't. The solution faded the color a bit, so I just added a fresh coat of polish after exfoliating. I did not get any peeling until Day 6, when I noticed a bit of peeling on the underside of a few toes. I immediately gave myself another 25-minute Epsom salt/cider vinegar/castile soap foot bath. Most brands recommend that once the peeling begins you should not use any moisturizer, or at most a lightweight oil-free lotion, because moisturizer can inhibit the peeling process. However, I have extremely dry skin, so after the foot bath on Day 6 I dried my feet, slathered them in cocoa butter as usual, and put on ankle socks. Two hours later I took the ankle socks off and there was a LOT of peeling skin that was easy to remove. It seemed that the cocoa butter had softened the skin and enhanced the peeling process, not hindered it. However, everyone's skin is different, so use your own discretion regarding whether or not to moisturize. Moisturizer worked for me. Once the peeling started, I did a 25-minute foot bath 4 days in a row until the peeling completely stopped. My feet never looked disgusting in public because after doing the foot bath, using cocoa butter, and covering them with ankle socks for 2 hours, the skin easily rolled off by rubbing with a dry towel and gently peeling with my fingers. IMO the foot baths are critical. In fact, if your feet haven't started peeling by Day 5, I recommend doing a foot bath because it will probably jumpstart the peeling. Or you can do a 10-15 minute foot bath every day starting on Day 2. Frankly, the foot baths are a bit of a nuisance, but the results are worth it. I initially thought that $18.50 was a bit steep for these "socks," but considering that pedicures in my area start at $35, it is cost effective. I plan to exfoliate my feet at least every 2 months to keep them in good condition.

I should have taken before and after photos. Im one of those women who suck at self care, with covid and immune disorder my poor feet had not seen any care for a very long time.. (it was bad before covid). I had big rough areas on heels and ball of the foot. To the point where Id wake up feeling them get stuck on my sheets at night. I got these "socks", and stuck my feet in.. first Im 10.5 wide, with high ankle and arches.. it still fit, was slightly snug on top due to my fatness, but I got them on without issues. I saw others complaining on them not working great, normally I sit on the couch with the feet under me.. but if I did that I realized that the liquid used would not be pressured on to the bottom of my foot (in case someone didnt think of it). So I sat like a somewhat normal adult with my feet on the floor. I did rub the fluid on the bottom massaging the bottom of my feet because I figured with the thickness itd have issues getting in there. It did sting a little bit, I took it as a sign of working. Did rinse my feet after an hour, makr sure you rinse thoroughly because I didn't on one foot and the stinging was lingering. Dont be stupid like me. At 5 days it started peeling, I peeled and used a pummel stone gently and have for the last couple of days I do it every evening in the shower. Today is day 8 and I think its done peeling for me. Id say that 90% of my thick raspy skin is gone. There is a little bit left (not surprised and I do not blame the product as my feet was atrocious).. in a month Ill do a second round and that should take care of the rest.. My feet are much much softer, very small raspy areas left, not enough to drive me nuts now. I will def continue to use this product regularly so I dont get those awful feet again. I do not enjoy looking like sasquatch.

So I purchased this item & well waited until a Sunday afternoon when I had an hour to do nothing for it to sit. Didn’t notice my feet having any action until about Weds/Thursday & OMG, it’s annoying and so gross. My feel look like a snake shedding its sling. It’s not painful, it’s just completely gross. So yes, it works, but I doubt I’ll every do it again. I’m OCD, and this slow process of the skin sloughing off is killing me. I’m wearing socks at night slathering my feet in lotion so I don’t rip my sheets it so bad. Please trust me, it works it’s just so gross!

They say in the youtube reviews that one size fits all. No, it does not. The box was partially smashed/messed up when I took it out the envelope. Cutting open the exfoliating socks, I smelled alcohol -it is all I smelled as far as the chemicals go, but oddly I like it, the smell that is. The instructions and on the box you will see where it is written that a cold, tingling sensation may be felt during the hour of wearing the socks, but all I have felt so far was a tiny itch on the side of one of the baby toes. My disappointment is with the size fit; my shoe size is a bit above a 10, but smaller than a size 15. I still managed to get them on without any tears. Will update after or some time during the 14 days; that is why I gave a 2 star review, have not tested the benefits of these socks fully. Rate will change after the process finishes. Update: These exfoliating socks are wonderful. You do have to keep your feet wet in order to get the full benefits of these socks, one thing I do not like about it, it did not get all of the callous on my feet because I peeled most of it off myself and did not allow it to peel on its own, but other than that this is wonderful.

These socks. Are GREAT! They REALLY WORK!

My feet felt really good after the peeling but unfortunately couple weeks after, my soles got hard, dry and cracking like never before. It cracked to very sensitive surface of my skin. It hurts. Something that had never happened before using this product. It's still puzzling to me. Feels drier than before........ But it felt really good after first couple weeks of peeling.

I have a feeling the low star reviews are b/c the people didn't wait long enough for the peeling to start. Your feet don't start to peel until about day 6 or 7. Wear socks night & day for the entire 10 days after using the peel. Do NOT let your feet stay bone dry. Google 'How to get the most out of my foot peel' & follow the tips. I wore wet socks for a few hours a day everyday starting the day after the peel. The wet socks really helped & the peel was complete by day 9! My feet were BAD, like REALLY BAD. I had a callous that was probably 15 years old! I tried everything & nothing worked but this! For the 1st time I felt how soft my slippers were, how rough our carpeting was & OMG the grass! It's been over a month & I still haven't used a pumice stone or anything! GREATEST PRODUCT EVER!! But follow the tips online to maximizes your results! ***DO NOT PULL THE SKIN OFF!!! LET IT COME OFF NATURALLY***

Super amazing! Made my feet peel like you wouldn’t believe, although took a few days to show. Feet are smoothest they’ve ever been :)

Very nice. Does not irritate (maybe tiny bit on a corn on toe and a small wound). Left on for 1 h, started peeling off skin after 1 week. Very effective and soft feet now. Pitty that i did not know this product sooner

Easy to use and after 4 days the peeling began! It doesn’t really touch the harder skin, but leaves the feet overall feeling really soft. But, I won’t use again because after a couple days of peeling, I was over it. It can be messy and so not worth a 2nd go. Would be great if patches were available to just pop onto the tough areas. Again, the product works as you’d expect.

Good product, but my feet started to peel after 10 days, so give it extra time :) But after 2 weeks, yes, I got baby skin.
