Baby Foot Review

The claim made by Baby Foot is that it is a painless, convenient way to get rid of the unsightly dead and cracked skin from the bottom of your feet. They are half right. The dead and cracked skin is definitely coming off the bottom of my feet, but I would not rate this product as a convenient way of achieving that.

The box has a good list of ingredients, with pictures. The instructions are clear, but vague about when you might see results. They indicate you should not do strenuous exercise or wear heels for a week after - I assume this is to stop the shoes rubbing against your feet, but not sure.

I used this product one night when I was at home for the evening. It takes two hours for the gel socks to do their thing. While opening the socks and inserting my feet I noticed a strong, herbal odour, but this either disappeared (or I became used to it) once the socks were sealed onto my feet. The socks would be big enough for anyones feet, but are very hard to move around in, so you really need to remain still for the two hours you need to wear them for. While the gel feels nice and therapeutic to start with, by the end of the time my feet were cold, felt clammy, and I was generally over it.

The gel washed away easily at the end of the two hours, leaving my toenails white. This appears to have been simply because they were damp for so long, as it settled soon after.

I noticed very little difference in my feet until 4 days after applying the gel. At this point, the dead skin cells did, as promised, dry and begin to peel off. This was inconvenient and unpleasant as this process is reminiscent of sunburn peel, and left dead flaky skin everywhere I walked. You are told not to scrub your feet or apply moisturiser, but by Day 6 I gave in and used a facecloth in the shower to clean the skin off. This helped, actually, so I continued to do so.

While the claim that the Baby Foot socks help remove dead skin is 100% true, and the product itself is quite pleasant, the time required to see results, and the process of the skin coming off mean that this is not an experience I care to repeat. I'd rather the convenient comfort of a pedicure, to be honest. If you have the time and don't mind the mess then this could well be a great option for you.

I struggled to find a good time to use this product as I was surprised I had to sit for 2 hours to do this. I realised I am not very good at sitting still for long periods of time! I followed the instructions of softening my feet beforehand but got a little bit impatient and removed the bags after about 1hour 30.

I am 5 days in since using the socks and there has been a little bit of flaking on my feet - I had a good go at picking at the skin! Was quite a bit of fun as I kind of like doing this - but wasn’t too sure how far I should go with picking it all off? I tried to rub them when they are wet vs. when they are dry. Should I avoid picking anything when the skin is dry?

Overall I think the length of time it takes to get baby feet is too inconvenient for me to do on a regular basis vs. going and getting a normal pedicure. I think the price is quite high vs. what I would just pay for someone else to do it in a pedicure so I probably wouldn’t purchase this product normally. As mentioned before I also struggled to find the time to sit down for 2 hours and found this time to be quite inconvenient.

As I said before I am only 5 days, and my feet feel a little nicer but are still peeling. I am looking forward to seeing the results after 3 weeks to see how my feet feel!

I began using this product 9 days ago. I found it easy to follow directions and easy to use. I left it on for the required two hours then washed it off. I did not see any change that first time but as it says results may take up to 3 weeks to show I Co tinted to watch. After about a week I did notice that my soles were softer and the tips of my feet peeling but haven't noticed a difference in my cracked heels which were the worst affected as yet.. maybe just the slightest softness. For the price of this I would have expected it to work better but maybe my results are still coming. I would maybe suggest this to someone who has very badly affected feet but unless I see more results in the next week I wouldn't bother with this product again

My feet are in a shocking state. I’ve tried so many different things, ranging from the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express foot file to Eulactol Heel Balm Gold to Rhino Repair – I've gotten OK results from some, but nothing has worked super well or lasted very long for my dry, scaly heels.

I was delighted to be trialing the Baby Foot – just in time for summer! It was perfect timing!

Baby Foot is a gel that’s in two little plastic ‘socks’. I thought the idea was really cute. When I read the instructions I saw that I’d have to wear the socks for two hours – I wasn’t delighted by this idea, but I really wanted it to work.

The big downside to the plastic socks – I couldn’t do anything that required me to move off the sofa for the two hours I was wearing them. They were too slippery on our carpet to walk anywhere (of course on the upside I had hubby at my beck and call since I couldn’t move off the sofa *evil grin*)

The gel itself was fine once I slipped my feet into the socks – it had a very mild, natural smell that I didn’t really notice. It felt lovely on my feet, and it washed off easily after the time was up.

The instructions said that it could take up to three weeks to work – I haven’t noticed any change at all so far, and it’s actually worse now than if I hadn’t used Baby Foot – because the directions say not to use any other foot products, I’m stuck with my bad, scaly heels and I can’t use anything else to fix them. I have been making sure my feet are in water every day, as I read in the instructions that can help the process - but so far no luck :(

I wish I could say good things about my experience with this product, but I’m afraid it isn’t one that I would use again or recommend to my friends. The inconvenience wasn't worth the final outcome.

When I received baby foot I was so excited because I have always wanted something that helps my cracked, ugly feet! I received it from Beauty review and really liked the packaging, nice and simple with all ingredients pictured. I followed the instructions and really quite liked the feeling of having my feet in the product. I didn't really like the smell of the product, I felt it smelt quite chemically. I also found that finding 2 hours to put my feet up quite difficult. It has been two weeks and nothing has occured that the product stated it would. I have not lost dead skin, and I do not now have feet that look like a babys. I am really hoping others have had more luck and that I am a one off negitive experience!

Firstly- let me say how surprised I am that this product hasn't received fantastic reviews- Perhaps the trial deadline should of been longer as it does state that it can take several WEEKS to see the desired results.

As many people seem to admit in the reviews below- Patience doesn't seem to be everyone's virtue. If so this is definitely not the product for you.

To be honest all you need to do is thoroughly read the instructions- to know what your in for.

Yes OK 2 hours is a 'long time' in some peoples world- but we all just need to take some time out - so this wasn't really an issue for me. Upon reading the instructions it clearly says allow two hours ....so ladies if you have something else on WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE TWO HOURS TO GIVE UP :p

It's really not that difficult to sit there for two hours, I watched Greys Anatomy the entire time wearing my little paper booties- all strapped securely around my feet. I had no issues with the booties slipping off- this is one of those products where you just do not cut corners.

If you do not leave the booties on for two hours- taking them off before the desired time will obviously affect your results.Therefore that's not giving the product a fair trial.

I soaked my feet before application and removed all toe nail polish as this can also hinder your results.

Its been over a week and I am loving the way my feet feel- fantastic. no more dried cracked heels for me. The key with this product to speed up the skin shredding process is to actually keep soaking your feet. This softens the debris and removes any dead skin cells!The water obviously acts as a catalyst for the exfoliating properties of Baby Foot.

I cant wait to see the results over the course of the next week- seriously I take my socks off and its like a snow storm in there!

Ok, so the premise of Baby Foot is a bit weird - sit in plastic socks for a couple of hours, your feet will then peel over time and you'll be left with soft skin for a couple of months.

I have ugly feet - dry with the usual hard skin patches. So anything promising even just nice feet and I'm in!

So one Thursday night I soaked my feet, snipped the top of gel filled booties, popped my feet in and taped them shut. And then I watched a couple of episodes of Hart of Dixie. Naturally I needed to pee more times in that two hours than ever before.

The gel felt cooling and tingling but in a really nice way. I felt there was more than enough product in the socks to cover my feet.

I rinsed off and gave my wet feet a bit of a rub down.

Over the next few days I began to think this was a practical joke - nothing was happening! Then about a week after, I noticed my feet were peeling. And by peeling I mean, like a snake. It's not like dry skin where you can pick bits off - if you pick the peel, it just peels more! It's gross and fascinating all at once!

After about a week of peeling I began moisturising my feet again and OH MY GOD they are so smooth, so soft. Can feet look younger? Well mine do!

I'm definitely going to be doing this every couple of months - I've never had feet this sandal-ready before.

This really is a salon treatment at home!

Okay, so sitting with your feet inside a mushy plastic bag for two hours isn't that great, but it does force you to chill out for a bit which is nice.

I found the packaging really easy to deal with, and the little tape strips they provided worked really well. Generally, I don't like single use products as they seem pretty wasteful. but I can't think of another way you could make this product so it was less wasteful.

My feet didn't peel until day 6, and when they did, it wasn't as dramatic as I expected. However, the end result has been pretty good, and while it wasn't as good as the website testimonials show, I think I would give it another go.

I have been using foot exfoliants like this for years.

The watery product comes ready to go in two plastic type socks. I do this at night usually while I have a night of TV watching planned. I also put socks on over the top to keep it all in place.

About a week later my feet peel terribly. It is so disgusting but well worth it. Best done in winter before your feet are on display otherwise it's really embarrassing in the peeling stages! I was at the beach once with the peel happening and I was super embarrassed! Afterwards my feet are always perfectly pink and smooth and look a million times better than having a pedicure.

My favorite part- rubbing my gross peeling feet on my husband at night, it really grosses him out but I find it absolutely hilarious.

Okay, I have to admit I've tried more than one brand of feet peeling sockettes and Baby Feet is by far the most effective one.

Yes, it's true that after about five to six days your feet will flake everywhere. Yes, it's a little sporadic in terms of where it peels (I find my toes and the balls of my feet always peel much more than, say, my heels). But it is so, so worth it at the end after your feet have finally stop shedding and you can visibly see the results.
