Callus Remover by Seki Edge

I have a larger file that works really well for the surfaces of the foot that aren't curved or creased (like at the base of the toes or a high arch). But I couldn't get at those odd places with the large file so I tried this and I really like it. A foot file needs to shear off the skin cleanly without having to make too many passes or you defeat the callous-removing purpose - too much rubbing (or overusing foot peel booties) is what makes the callous in the first place. This file is very small but the little blades are high quality. The size and shape of the file make it perfect for getting at callous on the high arch and behind the toes. This file works best if you use it like the instructions say - after a shower, bath or footbath on newly toweled feet. Then you put on a lotion or oil like Ancient Greek Remedy Foot Balm (available on Amazon). I ruined my feet by using foot peel booties that worked to peel some skin but then the callous came back harder and new callous formed on the soft parts of my feet. So I would do more foot peel booties then got more callous - bad news. My feet constantly felt like I had tight plastic attached to them when I flexed. I could stick a needle quite far into the callous without feeling it or bleeding. The bottoms of my feet felt like the bottom of leather shoes. After a week of using this file and my large Microplane file (available on Amazon) and the foot balm my feet have almost returned to pre-peel mistake.

Work as it is meant to.

It was nice to be able to get to the arch of the foot, which is hard with flat foot file. But it was kind of dull to start with, and is now nearly unusable. I've gone back to a wooden file with sandpaper all around. That works much better for me.

Bought this for the base of a toe callus due to wearing Birkenstock’s toe bar sandals for years and it didn’t work. Didnt see any skin shavings either after usage and had a dull grate. Not nearly as sharp as the Cala callus remover which is too big for Underneath the toes. Disappointed cause it had a lot of 5 star reviews

This rasp has small circular blades for your calluses, and is not more effective than, let's say, the rough side of a typical foot paddle. This means it requires more strokes to remove callus build up, which in turn irritates the skin, which is the cause of callus build up in the first place. I turned to a metal rasp for a more effective ie fewer stroke, removal of calluses, and so I am returning this. Also, I thought it's small size might help me target and maneuver around the edge of the heel better than some of the larger rasps, but there was no real advantage this way.
