It's around this time of year that most of us start to notice the true extent of the damage done by a summer of wearing flimsy footwear. Sandals are a godsend in the heat, but it's hard to find a pair that don't rub or pinch, and the results can be pretty unattractive.
If you're feeling the pain (and also noticing the stink) of neglected feet but are too skint (or embarrassed) to go for a professional pedicure, a DIY footcare session is in order.
Read on for our tips on caring for your tootsies!

It's been well documented how much I dislike feet, but seeing as I've recently given them an overhaul it may be time to start looking at keeping them in good shape. This funky mat, $79 from Kilikan mimics the Asian practise of reflexology. As you walk along the mat the different ridges will work out the tensions in your feet.

I don't like my feet very much. Scratch that, I HATE them. They stay firmly under wraps and put up with abuse on a daily basis. Were I a parent I'd have been taken off to counselling long ago, and that's exactly what Margaret Dabbs is, serious self help for the feet.
Not your average pedicurist, she's a trained chiropodist who works on making the feet look good, INSIDE and OUT, that means intensive assesment, and a real foot overhaul. She's not working on the cosmetic appearance, she nurtures deep down, and somehow she turned my gnarly hooves into the silken slippers of a fourteen year old (well, almost).

Up till now we could only read longingly about the MIcroplane on the Internet. Sure, we had the option of shipping it over but that was lengthy and expensive and wouldn't really give you the rush of an instant purchase. But now it's here, and you can buy it and have it shipped to you straight away! Rejoice! It's £25 from HQ Hair, and you can find out for yourself whether it lives up to the hype. I'll be getting one as well and we can compare notes on its scary sounding '95 tiny stainless steel files '. I'm game if you are...

Now my feet are rather scabby looking things, and I'm not going to disgust you by describing every thing that's wrong with them. I will say however, that the new range of foot products from Butter seems like a total godsend. I'm craving their excitingly titled Stiletto stick, £25, which says it will attack dry cracked heels, and used in conjunction with their heavy duty foot file, £5 should leave your feet feeling softer. I'm really intrigued by Rocks Off, £25, which says that it will remove calluses. Seriously? I'll have to see it to believe it.
