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 am sure that the descriptor for Hobbits feet were based on mine! That's how great they are! I use a chiropody sponge on my heels, wet in the shower and then do dry buffing as well. Anything for a nice result. Keen for trail

I actually file my feet both ways, depending on time and where i am. If I'm in the shower, I give my heels a bit of attention. If I'm basking in the sun, getting my daily dose of vitamin D, i let that skin dust fly in the wind!!

I get regular pedicures but still my feet at dry,rough and bumpy so filing is a must. Currently do dry but maybe I should do wet?

I feet need a file. This would be perfect to try! I think i would do dry because you can see the difference happening, wet not much.

I've never filed my feet so I would be super keen to try, my feet are certainly looking a little iffy at the moment!

7th April, 2023

I've never file my feet at all, so this is really interesting! I'd never considered wet or dry. I would think I'd prefer dry, but I'm keen to give it a try!

I have done both methods but never quite achieved the perfect end result

7th April, 2023

I’ve never dry filed before!! It didn’t even occur to me that it was a thing! I love a good foot file in the shower/ although as I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed it’s not quite achieving the same baby smooth result. Maybe it is time to try something new

My feet get so dry and flakes when I scratch it. Especially worse in Summer when I'm wearing flip-flops. My feet are so disgusting they need all the help they can get. I have used the electric products and therefore I'd say a dry foot person cause I never got the other one that works in the shower. So my hands up so high going pick me please. Hope I don't make anyone else go yuck. Haha

Gnarly feet need all the help they can get so I file wet or dry but dry is more convenient. The Manicare file looks wicked and I would love to try it.

Usually on dry feet. It just feels weird when they're wet. I'd love to try this, my feet are pretty dry and calloused.

5th April, 2023

I do both. In the shower I use a Course loofah and when I’m on the couch and watching tv I’ll sometimes whip out the filing paddle. And no I don’t mind the skin dust flying everywhere lol. The fact my partner says I have crocodile heels shows how much I need to loofah regularly !! I have very dry heels which sometimes crack :-(

Dry, something about filing wet feet makes me crazy uncomfortable haha!

5th April, 2023

I have such dry feet with big callouses due to working on my feet all day wearing work boots. I try my best to use a pumice stone to help but it doesn’t really help. I’ve used both wet and dry. Wet seems easier as less messy.

I honestly have THE WORST feet my heels split and crack regularly and need to be sanded I even recently bought a GRATER to do my heels with I think it is one designed for fruit yet has a handle and does look like a foot one it's just very course. I should do wet more often but I tend to do it dry mostly
