Foot Filing - Are you a wet or a dry person?

We all have those 'cringe' beauty habits that are incredibly satisfying.  From popping a pimple to biting a nail.  How about filing your feet?  There's something to be said about the almost instantaneous shift from hard, rough heels to smooth, sandal-ready feet, albeit in a cloud of skin-dust (eww).

When it comes to our beauty routines we all have slightly different habits - different methods and techniques work better for some than others.  Foot filing is no different.  Some of us swear by metal files, others by glass.  Some of us will only file thoroughly soaked feet, others like to do it on completely dry feet.  So is there a right way?

Well no.  Some people believe that by filing on wet feet you run the risk of removing too much skin, and by filing dry feet you might cause cracking or pain.  It really seems to be a case of experimentation - different files will work on different feet in different ways.  The rougher/more grater-like the file you're probably going to want to use on wet feet.

We're going to be trialing the Manicare® pediPRO Callus File. 

This double sided tool offers both coarse and fine grit to suit your needs. The non-slip, silky, soft touch handle makes for a luxurious grip. It is simple and easy to use for your feet, leaving calloused areas feeling smoother and softer. 

This awesome tool comes from Manicares pediPRO range which consists of 3 products designed to give you your best looking feet ever!  You can find out more about the pediPRO range here.

If you're interested in a spot on this trial team, why not tell us - would you be filing dry or wet feet?  And why?

I prefer wet, it is easier and less mess! This sounds great, and would love to try it.

Omg this sounds just amazing. I am so tired of my cracked feet all the time. I do use the roller machine but I want something more handy like Manicare® pediPRO Callus File, which I can quickly use in the shower or any other time. I would love to be considered for this trial. Thanks.

Filling my feet isn't a regular in my skin care routine but for the couple times I have they feel amazing after. I have only used on dry skin and never felt it to be too harsh or cause cracking. I haven't filled for years so would love to trial this tool. Xx

I do it dry - but after a shower or soaking them. My heels are painfully cracked and softening them makes it so much easier. This would be an amazing tool to try

Both! For different reasons! Wet when it’s really bad, dry if it’s just a little touch up! Would love to try this as I haven’t found the best foot file since my last ones handle snapped!

I've never tried wet but I'd definitely open to trying that. I sometimes get really cracked and sore feet so would love to find something that gets rid of all that disgusting dry and thick skin. I'd love a spot on this trial team to see if I can improve my feet, especially now that my feet are in shoes a lot more!

Usually dry. I don’t currently own a foot file so would be great to trial this!

I never thought of doing them while wet! I just always done it after a long shower so they are soft and followed up with a good moisturiser. Definitely hiding my cheese gratings from the family though!

Definitely wet for me. Then I treat my clean, buffed feet to some rich moisturising cream. Feels lovely! I've only ever used pumice stones though... I'd be keen to try a proper pedi tool for comparison.

2nd April, 2023

I usually use a pumice stone in the bath or shower, but definitely keen to give this a whirl and see how it compares.

Wet, wet, wet baby! Because it doesn’t feel so harsh on my skin doing it that way.

I'd love to try this... Have never really found one that works as good as a pedicure.

2nd April, 2023

Omg yes! I do this as often as i can, so once a months. Ideally wet feet, but thats kind of hard if you don't have a foot spa.. so i’m going with dry feet

2nd April, 2023

I love to file my feet in the shower as it's easier plus no mess as the dead skin goes down the plug hole. This Manicare® pediPRO Callus File will be easier to hold and I'd definitely love to try this out.
