I want to know.

Purely hypothetical question.  

I wear work boots all the time, unless I'm going somewhere nice, and have calouses that a bastard file wouldn't touch.  Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to cure this by means of a pedicure.

I have.  My feet are nasty and it's nice to have them clipped, have the calluses shaved down, etc.  I go with my girlfriend.

I'm sure a lot of people think it's gay, but I don't give a fuck.

It'll hurt like fuck afterward, and the callouses will just grow back.

Your feet and skin are used to the protection and support from the callouses, and they grew there for a REASON.

Mrs. Dual wears sandals almost year round, and as such her feet are like gnarly tree bark, which poses a problem when she's going to wear heels or pumps to a wedding or whatnot... so we got one of those Ped-Egg cheese grater things, and I tried it on one spot on my foot to see what it was like, and that spot hurt with every step for a few weeks.

I have had one, from my stepdaughter. I paid over $6,000 for her schooling to learn all this stuff. In Maryland, you must be certified to do fingernails and shit like that.

Yeah, my wife and her parents go every few weeks. They ask me if I want to go and I tell them no thanks that's gay. Then her father tells me about how good it feels.

Really, I dont like poeple touching me so no not happening.

Gay or not––-go get your feet done...I get mine done every 2 weeks....Haven't convinced the hubby yet...

But here is an incentive––-they rub your legs an stuff!!! You men would love it...

Now stop being all silly and go let Jessica (that is my nail gal's American name *lol*) rub on your feet!!!

Never had one, but most men who wear sandals/flip flops ("mandals") should consider it.  It's downright disgusting to see (and in some cases smell) their dawgs.  

If you're going to inflict visual (and olfactory) assault on the public by displaying your feet, have some common courtesy and clean them up.  

[As I said in the other thread, it's a good thing most of us here do not wear mandals.  You cannot "fight or flight" in mandals.  We're not all space shuttle door gunners, but most of us have some tactical sense.]

If you didn't have a problem with people touching you, I'd suggest you try it just for the experience.

I was opposed for a long time, but honestly, I've gotten to the point where I don't care if people think I'm gay or weird for getting it done.

I agree.  I'll wear adidas flip flops on the boat or maybe to go to the grocery store, but when I used to bounce I'd see people wearing them to bars and think they were crazy.  I never wore anything but steel toed boots to bars.

The only pedicure I'll ever see will involve a pressure washer, belt sander with 60 grit, an angle grinder and a dremel.  I think I'll pass.

No, but I've had a few girlfriends who gave me home manicures and pedicures.

It's not about being pretty and soft silly...It is about getting that nasty ass toe jam and shit from between your funky ass toes...It is about getting all the callouses off so that you guys can walk with us when we want to take a nice stroll or something...

You are so silly...

I was more or less making a joke.

While getting a pedicure is not on the very mannly side of things, I really don't care.

My wife does my feet once in a blue moon, usually in exchange for a massage or something.  It's very nice.  If you've never had your toes sucked you're missing out.  And they don't do that one in the nail salon.

I'm sorry, but it's pretty gay.  In this case, by gay, I mean extremely metrosexual.  It's just like when you see guys with carefully plucked/waxed/shaped eyebrows.

Never a pedicure, but I once got a shiatsu foot massage in Japan.  Old dude with hands so strong he could probably crush concrete in his palm.  Motherf^(ker HURT.  But I felt like I was walking on clouds for the next three days.  Not sure if it was really worth it, but the experience was something else.


Pedicures, though?  Screw that.  It's gay and you get an infection.  And I'm to understand that people pay for this?  No thanks, I'll just clip my own toenails.

5 year old daughter gave me one once.

I tried to tell her it wasn't manly. That didn't work.

It's amazing the things you will do for your daughter.

Removed the nail polish that night when she went to bed. She cried the next day.

I'd like to try it sometime. Nothing wrong with good hygiene.

Remember when shops were using some sort of little fish to chew the dead skin off ? I've never had a pedicure. but I'd like to try one of those.

My Dad is in his 80's and he has a guy come to the house every two weeks to do it. Medicare pays for it.

I've thought about it...they do they at the place where I get my hair cut.

I wouldn't mind properly cut toenails and a little somethingon  the dry spots on my heel.

But, I have ugly guy feet, and don't know if I want to subject the cute Asian girls to them.

I'm comfortable being handled by strange women.

eta I've had one in the past- my stylist was going for a certification and needed a test dummy or 2.



IF YOU HAVE CALLUSES OR DRY HEELS

Meet Mr. Pumice

these bars are great for taking down callouses -from the manly lifting of heavy weights or doing manly chin ups- or to keep your dry heels from shredding nice dress socks.

also available from teh cute girls at Sally Beauty Supply.

I wear sandals all the time. My feet look fine.



When the wars and Iraq and Afghanistan had established safe zones they had lots of demand for pedicurist. Doing manly things in boots day in and day out is a strain on the feet. If our troops are doing it in large numbers I'm not going to be the one to call it gay.
