Product information
EACH ITEM WEIGHT = 800g
The Ped Eggs is a foot file designed to gently remove callouses, dry and cracked skin from the feet and toes, leaving them soft and smooth.
It consists of an ergonomically designed ellipsoid container, with a metal file on the bottom and an emery board on top. The metal file has a thatched pattern, reminiscent of a kitchen grater. It is designed to exfoliate the skin and trap the exfoliated skin flakes inside the container. Once you are finished, you can open the container and empty it into a garbage bin.
To use it, you hold the Ped Eggs in your palm and move the metal surface back and forth across the areas of hard skin until you have exfoliated the dry and cracked layers. You then turn the Ped Eggs over and use the side with the emery board to polish the skin to make it smooth and silky. If you like, you can then apply any of your favourite nourishing skin creams or oils.
The ped eggs container consists of two halves – one with the metal file at the bottom surface, and the other with a plastic indent which holds the emery board. It comes with two emery boards, so you have a spare once the first wears out. There is also protective cover that goes over the metal file, so that you can safely carry it in a bag or purse. Replacement emery boards and metal files (sometimes called blades) are readily available online.
Causes of Feet Callouses and Hard Soles
Hardening of the skin of the soles is usually the body’s defensive reaction to your lifestyle and footwear. People who frequently walk barefoot on rough surfaces can expect hardening. Track athletes, dancers and gymnasts will place impulse bursts of heavy pressure on certain parts of the sole, and this may create hard callouses on those areas.
People who are on their feet constantly carrying heavy loads, e.g. backpacks, shopping, will place more pressure on their feet. In this case, hardening is likely to be thinner, but over a larger area.
If your shoes have little cushioning, excess pressure may be concentrated on a few specific spots that bear the most load – usually on the heel and near the big toe, and callouses are likely to form there.
Wearing high heels will significantly alter the pressure distribution on your foot. More pressure will be placed on the toes and ball of your foot, and those areas can be expected to roughen. Poorly fitted pumps (closed high heels) can compress your toes together, and they can harden in between the digits.
