Bare feet or slippers ?

I always go barefoot at home and I don’t have hard skin. My H always wears slippers and does have hard skin which he seems to have inherited from his mother so maybe it’s in the genes...you’ve either got it or you haven’t?

I think if you moisturised your feet and always wore socks or socks and slippers your dry skin would disappear very quickly.

These are the comfiest slippers! Not cheap, but really cushioned under your feet and supportive. www.shucentre.co.uk/sleepers-donna-spotted-warm-fleecy-lining-indoor-slipper-1580.html

@agnurse I have prediabetes hence foot pain and the old lady comfy slippers. Need to go and get blood sugars checked really , covid got in the way of me going to the Dr at all this year,

I go barefoot, but if you want good slippers, I always recommend that you see what older people are wearing. Due to their higher fall risk, they need to have good footwear. Consequently you know that whatever they choose, it will be comfortable and good quality.

PSA: if you have diabetes or other conditions that result in poor circulation, foot care is vitally important. Don't soak your feet, don't go barefoot or wear mended socks, don't remove dead skin by yourself. Ensure your skin doesn't get too dry. Be VERY careful when cutting your toenails - file them, don't cut. Consider having a professional do your foot care. Diabetics and others who have circulation problems can develop wounds to their feet, and they often won't heal properly.

Allegretto I tried those too, it's basically an acid peel have it on good advice NOT to do it again!

Would you not recommend the Footners peel Phoenix? I've got hard skin like a horses hooves because I go bare foot so much I've ruined my feet over the years going barefoot.

Lilypops. I use EA 24 hour cream and would not be without it. I had no idea that Aldi had a similar ting - do you know what they call it, please? EA is very expensive. Thank you.

I get a lot of pain in my feet so I love my comfy slippers!

I've tried different slippers over the years but have never found any to top Sleepers DONNA Spotted Warm Fleecy Lining Indoor Slippers. I would recommend these to anyone with foot problems. They are really hard wearing and I wear mine all the time at home because it hurts my feet to not have cushioning from the hard floors.

I haven't tried flexitol but will look into that I usually soak my feet in magnesium salts, then remove the hard skin with a file and apply cream or coconut oil with socks. The footners sounds good too.

I wear Adidas sliders/crocs or slippers. I also use a soap and glory foot I call it a foot grater ?, which I slough of dead skin after a shower, then pop on some palmers cocoa butter moisturiser and socks

I am also prone to hard skin on my feet. I recently tried Footners socks for hard skin and they were really good. They did not clear all of my hard skin, but I’m hoping to do the treatment again in a few weeks as I think a second application might just do the trick. The hour long treatment is painless and the skin peels off over the next few days. To answer your question, I rarely go barefoot for the same reasons as Lilypops.

Lilypopsthat's exactly what I do with the Flexitol!

i think it#s generally safer to wear something on feet.

Phoenix. Have you tried using the Flexitol at night and putting a pair of socks on in bed overnight? It really does soften hard skin. Or. Aldi do a copy of Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream which is excellent for hard skin , again apply at night and wear socks,
Hope this helps , I personally wouldn’t go barefoot in the house , I would probably be bashing my toes on furniture and I don’t like cold feet , so it’s slippers for me ,
