Does PedEgg smooth rough feet?
The claim. The PedEgg foot file will remove calluses and dead skin to "make your feet feel smooth and healthy with NO MESS!" Powdery
filings collect in a little compartment. Cost: about $10. (That might include extras such as buffing pads and foot cream.)
The check. Twenty-six women and three men with rough, callused feet tried a PedEgg on one foot and a pumice stone on the other. They used each product once, rubbing PedEgg on dry skin (per instructions) and the stone on wet skin, where it’s more effective.
CR’s take. Crack open a PedEgg. It was easy to use, very good at removing calluses, and good at removing dry skin. It did better overall than the pumice stone, and buffing pads smoothed leftover roughness. But some filings escaped, so use PedEgg over a wastebasket.
