Baby Foot Review

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!

As someone who has horrendously ugly feet due to cracked and dry heels, I was super excited to try this when I was selected for the trial team. This product was something I hadn't heard of, so I wasn't sure what to expect when using it.

The instructions are very straightforward and very clear on how to use these. Basically you get a pair of 'socks' (which are bag type things with a liquid in it). You put these on your hooves, use the tape that is supplied to attach them to yourself and then chill out for 2 hours. This is exactly what I did.

The feeling of the gel/liquid that is in the 'socks' is suprisingly lovely! It felt cooling and not at all uncomfortable. Most importantly, it didn't hurt one iota.

Your feet don't immediately start to peel, so I felt comfortable walking around for the next few days without shedding like a snake. The instructions said that this is water activated and each time after I had a shower I definitely noticed some peeling action!

It's disgusting but super satisfying in a gross way to have your feet shedding skin. I have to admit I loved that this actually worked... to a point. I have to be upfront and admit that my heels are pretty badly cracked and this only seemed to help them a tiny bit. It didn't get rid of my cracked heels completely :( However, in saying that, the rest of my entire foot peeled and revealed nice, shiny new skin. This just wasn't enough to get rid of my gross heel skin.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a little bit of dry skin. If your heels are quite bad then I wouldn't recommend it. For those who have slightly cracked skin then this is definitely something you should go for.

Personally I think it is really pricey for something you can only use once, but it does work - provided you don't have super cracked heels like myself.

Overall I wouldn't purchase this just because it didn't do much to the tough skin on my heels and they are exactly why I wanted to try this. It's a great product but it didn't help the issue I wanted solved.

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.

This is hands-down a MUST for SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wear Jandals throughout summer and when I can get away with them in winter, and my feet are always getting dry and cracked. I am always really cautious of this and have been using good Pumice stone on them for when I am showering, but really don’t find that gives me 100% results. I was intrigued when I had seen this product on the BR website and put my hand up, I was pretty skeptical for a few days, as I was wanting faster results, but then I just so happened to see dry skin on my feet coming off on my sheets, it was both kind of gross and amazing, my heels of my feet I have always been most embarrassed about as they always suffer the most cracking and peeling and look disgusting, they were literally as smooth as “A baby’s Foot” I was blown away – impressed! Kind of gross but was great as also other skin areas on my feet around my toes and that would peel off and then this allowed me to peel off easily without any pain. I did notice the price was relatively high but in all honesty it’s well WORTH THE PRICE.

The only downside is that it can take up to two weeks for all of the peeling to end, which limits the kinds of shoes you wear. (Trust me, when your feet at the height of peeling, you need to wear close-toed shoes. Or just stay home and vacuum if you're barefoot!)
