Pumice stone- you can buy them at Target, CVS, etc. Don't get a real coarse one as you'll quickly take off too much skin before you know it. Someone on here's recommended Johnsone's Foot Soap a while back and I gotta say, the stuff works pretty well to soak your feet in. O'Keeffe's is another product that works well for hands and feet, especially during the winter when my hands crack after working outside.

Warning: The rasp type razor callus removers should never be used on wet skin, too aggressive, and are prone to staph infections.
I use my wife pumice stones, they work well. |

I just soak my feet every 3-4 days for 30 minutes or so and rub it off. Once you get a routine in, it doesn't build up

Just get a pedicure. There's a nail/pedicure place just down the street. Bunch of hot-looking young Vietnamese women 
Barring this I found that Sally Beauty Supply (found everywhere in the USA) carries a line of "Mr. Pumice" products. |

Get a pedicure. My boyfriend loved it when I got him one, just get it upgraded if your feet really need it. Also bring a lady friend if you feel awkward, I am always looking for an excuse to get my feet done.
Also Kerasol has an awesome heel cream. Coat it on your feet at night and wear cotton socks. Later soak your feet and take a pumice stone to them. If you go to a beauty supply place like Sally's they can help you pick one. |

Be careful about nail salons. Most don't sanitize properly. They reuse tools without proper cleaning and their foot baths are often not properly sanitized.
I prefer to buy my own tools and do it at home. |

Like some others have said, get a foot file/rasp. They take the callused skin off really fast, but they don't cut into the healthy skin underneath at all. I'm not really sure how they do it. You don't use them with wet feet. I've tried screwing around with dremel bits and sandpaper, the rasp is much, much, much better.
This is the one I got http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-Colossal-Pedicure-Rasp-Foot/dp/B00756HQNQ |

Dremel motor tool with grinding bit. This is what my podiatrist uses except with a rotary sander. Just go slow and be careful. Dremel markets one for dog groomers but it is the same as the regular cordless one. Dremel7300. Check amazon It is usually cheaper than the ped egg. Actually with mt insurance it costs 20 dollars a month for a doctor visit. Plus the doctor is a hottie. |

Gold Bond Diabetic Skin Cream. Had this problem for years and asked my podiatrist to prescribe me something. The Gold Bond is what he recommended. He said they prescribed creams for years, but the Gold Bond does just as well. Takes several weeks, but it works.

Afterwards, apply some good lotion. Purchase sea salt from a soap maker supply store. For 1 liter of 3% salt, also called 3% saline, dissolve 30 grams in 1 liter of water. It can be weighed on a digital scale. You just need enough water to cover the hyperkeratotic areas, i.e., 1/2 to 1 inch deep in a basin. Soak feet for a few minutes in the saline, then start working on the hyperkeratotic areas with a pumice stone or one of the other devices mentioned above. The water will become cloudy with the removed excess epidermal material, which is mostly dead epidermal cells, after doing this for 5-10 minutes. Rinse feet with tap water, then apply your favorite moisturizer. Tiny amounts of petroleum jelly (white petrolatum) works great for this purpose. The skin is already saturated with water and salt, and the petrolatum serves to slow the rate of water loss from the skin. Socks can be worn after applying the petrolatum. |
