This thing is awesome! I've been battling with my dry, cracked, thick heels for over 8 years, largely due to where live (dry, high altitude, and really, really hard well water). Even though we're moving soon, I really wanted to get things under control. Some recent methods work and others help a little (i.e. a new, beaded negative ion shower head and/or Callus Eliminator), but the results haven't lasted long enough or do enough to make it worth the while, or I have to do things more often and with greater effort than my lazy, little mind would prefer. Even the methods that do work don't always get the job done 100% without me spending ages, if not a few days, working at it. In words or less: I've felt like a slave to my own feet.
I've heard of microplanes and even tried a chincy one that was attached to another product, which did absolutely nothing for me. I'd heard too many mixed reviews on the egg-styled ones, and ones like this product just freaked me out, and I either figured they'd wreck my feet, would cut me, wouldn't work, or would put gouges in my skin and make things worse. However, I finally broke down and bought one to work with a liquid exfoliate I'd been using, since I needed a new file anyway and recently watched a professional using one on YouTube.
I initially just wanted to try the file after it was delivered to see how it worked on dry skin, figuring I'd do a pedicure later, but I was extremely skeptical. Ten minutes later, thanks to me being meticulous and tentative, my feet literally looked brand new. No cracks, no dry patches--nothing but soft, pink, pliable and normnal-looking feet. Say wha?! I didn't even use a buffer or do the pedicure treatment (buffer might be needed in some cases). Score...
I seriously felt a mixture of wanting to kick myself for not trying these things sooner and wasting all that time, money and effort on other products, and then wanting to laugh at my being such a wuss over nothing yet feeling ecstatic over the results and speed of the microplane. Not only is this faster and more effective than most methods I've tried (peel booties, liquid softeners, shavers, pumice stones AmLactin, regular files, electric files, home remedies), but there was no soaking, no waiting, no week's worth of shedding like a decrepit reptile, or hardly any effort needed (I hardly used any pressure). It's also much safer and gentler than other products I've used, and I appreciate lessened trauma/friction to my skin, which usually results in more calluses.
The other thing I like about this product was the shape and size. Okay, the size initially freaked me out and I thought it was a bit overkill, but it just made the process faster and it also worked well on the arches. The only thing I'd love to see added would be a guard to control messes and a slightly softer handle, but those are minor issues.
As others have stated: don't go crazy if you're new to these. They're much safer, gentler and easier to use than a shaver, or even a peel, but they're still very effective you can still take too much off if you're not careful. I did that in one area as I started to get excited about the results, and it's a little bit tender at the moment. Defo use a towel or tub/shower and a good moisturizer or oil after.
I'm very happy, and I'm sure I'll get excited the next time I do yoga, which is when I usually scowl at my feet the most. That, and during shoe shopping. Definitely recommend.

MADE IN USA, & works GREAT! But BE CAREFUL!
First of all, credit where credit is due, I discovered this while watching videos by a couple of physical therapists, Bob & Tom, on youtube. They gave it high praise. (I recommend Bob & Tom as well!)This thing works GREAT! Bought this for a callus which was causing me pain, & I'm so glad I did! It will definitely remove calluses & dead skin REAL QUICK! But BE CAREFUL! As Bob & Tom mentioned, it will eat into your hide real quick! I used it several times before accidentally getting a little carried away with it, & cut into the meat before I realized it!Ergonomic, comfy in hand, easy to use, & it cuts in both directions (see my final close-up)! Big bonus is the fact that it's MADE IN USA, which is always a BIG plus for me!5 STARS ALL THE WAY! :-)
