Product Review: PedEgg
This year for Christmas I received a PedEgg in my stocking (foot products in a foot-shaped container - genius, I know). I’ve seen the ads on television, and as a woman looking to maintain sandal-worthy feet, I had to try it. Now I have, and I figured I should pass on my new PedEgg knowledge to others interested in this product.
I find that it works best to sand down one’s heels, but it was too abrasive to use on the balls of my feet. I ended up with sensitive spots near my toes, but the Egg did wonders on my heels. This could be a personal thing, but I suspect that the closeness of the bones to the skin on the balls of my feet contributed to how quickly I ended up in the Pedicure Danger Zone.
I also noticed that the waste does not stay inside the egg as well as it appears to on television; it really is a good idea to put a towel under your feet or something before you start. Again, it appears to work better on the heels; the angle for using it on the heel allows the foot waste to fall into the egg better than the angles one would use while sanding other parts of the foot.
All in all, I’d say the PedEgg is a good product, and I will continue to use mine for a very long time. I would rate it 8.5 out of 10 because it wasn’t quite what the advertisement said it would be, but it also transformed my feet with relatively little effort. After a few more uses I’ll be ready for warm weather and sandals.
My goat would like me to note here that the PedEgg does not work on hooves.
