OMFG I am a constant barefoot queen and so my callouses are off the chain. I, too, used the foot dissolver/rasp combo earlier this year. A) It worked VERY well. B) It worked so well that a few days after the treatment, my heels SPLIT. Apparently, I hadn't gotten all of the callous off; just enough to have a thin layer that when pressured by my weight just split apart. I thought I had been shot in the foot the first time it happened. I had to spend a few days walking on the ball of one foot and as soon as she was almost "heeled" (ugh lol), the other one split. Nightmare. I've taken to keeping one of those rocks that you grind against your heels hanging in my shower and FORCE myself to use it every time I shower (which used to be every day but let's face it, quar style is every OTHER day if not every other other day). I also went to the Jersey Shore recently and ground my heels into the sand as hard as I can figuring that a combo of sand, salt water, and the antibiotics in the Atlantic Ocean (from medical waste) would solve the problem via nature. It didn't not werq. I'm glad we're taking care of our disgusting feet together on opposite sides of the continent. We deserve it.

In my personal experience, a combination of callus shaver and electrical rotating foot file also works wonders.

aw we have the same gigantic, industrial size foot grater. twinsies! also might i recommend slathering ur feet in some kind of balm or heavy duty lotion, putting two plastic bags over your feet, putting socks on, and going to sleep. sounds insane and unpleasant and it absolutely is, but in the morning your feet will be so soft.

As someone with feet that are too ticklish to allow others to touch them, moisturizing booties have changed my life. As Katya said, securing your surroundings is a must, as the booties will leave you mostly immobile, but the payoff is worth the half hour of vulnerability.

Are they the things that have gel on the inside and then you add lotion, etc?

The ones I use are from Patchology and have shea butter inside. They warm up a little too, so your feet are like soft baked potatoes.

I love the body horror references! "Cronenbergian" "Kafkaesque" 😆 So much drama to keep feet supple and succulent. I can sympathize entirely.
