waste of money   August 28, 2008

it didnt work at all. instead of smoothing my feet, made them rougher than they've ever been. not to mention that it's cheaply made.

needless to say, i returned it.


Not worth the money   August 26, 2008

I bought my ped-egg from Walgreens, and I was looking forward to seeing a change in my rough heels. I am still waiting to see some difference. I have finally given up on it and went back to my blade shaver.


Too rough   August 21, 2008

I've used quite a few "foot file" type products and find that this one is too rough. The shredder part is so large that it hacks up your feet, while the sanding paper only lasts for a few uses.

I much prefer a finer grate, like what's found on the Revlon Callus Remover. It is gentler, and yet more effective. Its fine sanding side also lasts a lot longer than the Ped Egg's sander.


Good when used with pumice   August 5, 2008

I saw this gadget several times before I bought it. I was concerned about rubbing a product that looked like a cheese grater over my heels and the balls of my feet. I was positive that it would hurt and make my feet bleed, but it doesn't. (my heels by the way were tough with thick skin and my partner had thick callouses on the outsides of his toes.) I bought two, one for each of us for proper hygiene, and we both appreciate the results that this product gives us. I use this about once a week to 10 days BEFORE I get in the shower so that all over the bottom of my feet (except the arch) are smoother and more attractive in open-heeled shoes. I continue to be amazed at the amount of dead skin this removes. My feet aren't too smooth to the touch after this, so I use pumice in the shower to smooth out the residual roughness. In my opinion, this is a critical step. I have not tried the emery sheets that it came with.

On thick calluses that form in other places, this product works equally well. With persistent, regular use, the callouses disappear, and shoes are much more comfortable to wear and fit better.

This might be the most effective gadget I have bought for under 10 dollars, and I have recommended it to several friends.


Works well enough   August 1, 2008

I love to wear sandles but have zero time to get a pedicure so my feet turn into SOS pads over the summer. I bought the PedEgg hoping it would be the answer to my prayers and so far I guess it's probably the closest I'll ever get. I love the contour of the product and it fits nicely into my hand. After working on each foot for a probably a total for 8-10 minutes my hand didn't feel like it was going to cramp like it did with some of the other pumice stone things I have. I like the premise of something that will 'catch' all the shavings but in reality I use it at more of a 90 degree angle (otherwise it's an unnatural position for my hand) and so at least 25% or more of the shavings continue to fall all over the floor. I guess I should have done the test run on this over the trash can! Something else I wasn't too excited about - I couldn't get the stupid thing apart to empty out the canister. Had to call in my husband. As for my heels - it really did work nicely. After I figured out the most effective position/angle for the pedegg on whatever part of my foot I was working on, it seemed to be very efficient and not at all painful or uncomfortable. I loved the little emery (sp?) boards that were included as well. They really got the rest of those little pieces that couldn't be picked up by the pedegg. So...10 minutes of my night and my feet are like new again. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to have nicer tootsies!
