Brushworks Stainless Steel Foot Rasp

Brushworks Stainless Steel Foot Rasp is a metal foot file for the thick, hardened skin that builds up on the heels and along the sides of the soles. It is a different tool from a nail file: the filing surface is metal rather than a paper-backed grit, so it keeps cutting on skin that a small emery board slides over. It is meant for the hard, dry areas only, and it works best in short controlled passes with a look at the skin between them rather than steady pressure for a minute. Stop when the surface feels even - the aim is skin that is comfortable to walk on, not skin filed down.

How to use

• Work in short, controlled passes over the rough area and check the skin often rather than relying on pressure.
• Stop when the surface feels even; over-filing leaves the skin sore instead of smooth.
• Keep off skin that is cracked, inflamed or sore, and follow the directions on the pack.
• Rinse and dry the rasp after use and store it where the surface will not be knocked.
