I'll admit to a baby foot fetish; those little toes are just so freakin' cute that it's all I can do to keep from trying to eat up Buttercup's at any chance I get.
Kid feet? Also cute.
But I am one of those people who can't really stand adult feet. My own, in particular. And since mine have been in dire need of a pedicure since about my fifth month of pregnancy, you can only imagine why I was really too embarrased to hand my nasty feet over to some stranger to slough off all the dead skin and calluses.
(Don't worry, I will spare you the horror of a foot photo. I like you all too much.)
So when I heard about the Microplane Foot File, I was hopeful but not banking on going from nasty-rough mommy feet to pretty-soft mommy feet in any reasonable amount of time. Sure, the product information pretty much gaurantees a noticable difference in just one use, but I have tried other products (can you say "as seen on TV"?) and have been sorely dissapointed.
But this thing? It works. In just one shameful-hiding-in-the-bathroom session, I scraped off a year's worth of nasty and found the feet I used to like.
I'd go into more details, but honestly, it's kind of gross. But with results like this with the surgical grade stainless steel blade? I'll gladly continue to use the Microplane Foot File on a regular basis and never have to bother with tipping some poor schmo for having to touch my feet again.
So-who else wants to "pretty-cize" their nasty feet? If you want to enter for a chance at your own Microplane Foot File in sage, visit their web site and leave me a berrie (read: comment) telling me what other product catches your interest. The contest ends at midnight (EST) on July 24 and I will post one randomly selected winner's name to PRIZEYWinners.

1 – 200 of 214 Newer› Newest»Wow - great contest - anything to smooth out my feetsies!!! I also dig their automatic slicer - it looked pretty cool!!
Sounds scary to use something on your feet made by a company who makes great knives...but i could always use a great knife too:)
I immediately went to their kitchen section. I'll take a cookbook and red apron :)
I totally need this for my feet! Mine sound just like yours did. I also think their cut resistant glove looks cool.
That would be awesome! Like you, my feet were great until I was pregnant with my first. 3 kids later....let's just say my feet would thank you! I also love their Home Series Gift Set 2. A good grater is hard to find! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like the zester!! I don't have one and it looks great.
I could definiately use the Cut Resistant Glove. It is a sad story when I try and use a knife.
Thanks for the giveaway!
This would be wonderful. I have the worse feet.
I like the sandal prep gift set. I definitely need that! I also like their sea-salt grater. I agree that it is kind of a weird mix of products - knives, drill bits, and pedicure supplies!
The four sided box grater looks cool too - great site. Thanks for the giveaway! afdr3d@umkc.edu
Well this is totally what I want (and need) however I love cookbooks and apron's too. I can always use a new apron so that would be my "other pick". Thanks for the giveaway!
Melissa
The Dreamsicle Foot Cream also sounds wonderful. This foot file really sounds like it would work great. Thanks for this giveaway.
I love the 4-sided kitchen grater - I am in need of a new one, and this one looks incredible!

It must be said that the microplane products are very good but given the choice between a woodplane and a foot spa thingy,I'll go with the feet. However, a woodplane might work better on my feet. (mom of 3 who wears flip flops all the time, you get the picture.)
Thanks!
Design your own Custom Tote; www.maddymoo.com/kathieb.htm
My feet need help!
I like the Microplane Hand Held Adjustable Slicer with Food Holder.
I'dlove to try the kitchen graters, the gift set looks cool!
Girl Friend Gift Set w/ Paddle & Spa Socks would be great. I could get a few of my girlfriends over, my daughter and we can sit around, sipping wine and making our feet pretty! Perhaps for next Spring I'll have a spa day!!
Chocolate covered strawberries and a gift set! Can't beat that huh?
Oh, I hate my feet!! They are so dry and yucky! I like the fact that it won't mess up your skin...I've tried other products and they just don't make the grade. I love to hear about something that really works!
The other product that caught my eye was the Sea Salt Shaver. I love sea salt, and this would be oh so handy dandy!
I like this foot grater!
frogz60@hotmail.com
I really need this. My feet are in bad shape. Thanks!

Good Afternoon, My husband and two teenage sons make me wear socks year round. I have scaly big toes and heels. I won't ever wear sandals. My family would applaud if I won this wonderful foot tool! I also like the Girl Friend Gift Set Bag with Paddle
and Spa socks. Please enter me in your delightful giveaway drawing. Maybe, then I can show off my feet
( without socks )!!!!! Many thanks, Cindi

What I wouldn't give for soft feet again! The World's Softest Spa Socks look heavenly, too.
gkstratos@ yahoo.com
The kitchen set looks great and I would love the foot file because I am always in flip flops.
What a fantastic giveaway! With 3 kids I don't have a lot of time to go and get a pedicure and my feet really need it! I would love to win this! I also love the dreamsicle foot cream.
ann dot guns at mac dot com
I just tried to post and it didn't work, so here it goes again! I went to the site and liked the 3 piece set that includes the Premium Zester/Grater, Premium Medium Ribbon and Premium Extra Coarse.
I like the 4-Sided Box Grater. That would make zucchini bread a lot easier to make!
This sounds cool. I like their foot buffer, too....LOL...I need it.
The foot buffers is one item that catches my eye. Thank you for the contest.
I'd like the GK19 Kitchen Basics 3 pc Set in red someday, very neat stuff!
This sea salt shaver is brilliant: http://us.microplane.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=179
Their graters look really nice, and I would especially enjoy having one of those Cut Resistant Gloves so that I don't grate my hand...which I've definitely done before. Ouch! Thanks so much!
I've had my eye on their classic 3 piece set for a while. I keep asking for it for every gift occasion, but no one gets me anything for the kitchen. http://us.microplane.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=161
I want the 4 sided box grater. It looks really sturdy.
The adjustable slicer looks great. And I have the same foot issues. I would love this product!
The medium ribbon grater sounds like something I would like to use.
I don't even want to look at my feet anymore. Ugh! I can only imagine. I guess I really need something like this. LOL!
I'd love to try the Microplane Hand Held Adjustable Slicer with Food Holder. That would help making salads and veggies for the kids so much easier. We also need knives but I really didn't see anything there. It's a cool site though.
Thank you for the great giveaway!

the orange blossom foot cream travel packs would be great for trips. Awesome giveaway, thanks!
I'd love the medium hand grater. It would be used often in my kitchen.
Oh, I would love to have something to help smooth out my feet! I would like to try the Microplane Orb-Style Foot Buffer as well... combined, I bet I could get really soft feet! jeepcutie82 at msn dot com

I'd be interested in the Dreamsicle foot cream. Thanks!
I like the world's softest spa. Thanks for the chance!
The sea salt shaver looks wonderful. This is the second time in a week I've seen salt that you can shave. I have never heard of this before and now twice! I think it would be something fun at dinner.
I really NEED one of these feet shavers! I checked out their site, and their sea salt shaver looks really interesting (especially with the himilayan salt). I would love to try that out too.
I have always wanted a Ribbon Grater. I could definitely use the foot file. My feet are looking terrible because I love to walk around barefoot. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Love the 4-Sided Box Grater!!
Would be great for my kitchen!

Thanks!

yourstrulee at sasktel dot net
This is SO meant for my feet! My poor tootsies are feeling very neglected these days and need some love in a very bad way. I love that this has the "skin receptacle cap" on it - much better than the other tools without them (ewww). Love that their site has microplanes for everything - I have been trying to find these things for the kitchen everywhere but only came up with the bigger graters - this is great - thanks!
My feet are awful. Thanks so much for the opportunity. I like their 4 sided box grater.
planetmisty at gmail dot com
I like the box graters in the kitchen section! Very nice and can't wait to try them.
I liked the cookbook covers. My cookbooks are always getting dripped on when I cook.
I like the sandal prep gift set...it's flip flop time!
I would like to give the kitchen grators a shot
I would love some Foot Fresh, Foot Cream - shoot a whole gift set - to go along with the file. Love smooth feet and it is hard to find good products!
Great Contest! I would pick the Microplane Sandal Prep Gift Set & the GK35 Home Series 5pc Set
I like the bax grater with the detachable zester. Smart design!
How cool! I love that it comes in colors and that it can withstand being sanitized (won't melt!).
I'd like to try Himalayan pink sea salt

I love the rotary grater set. I am a sucker for kitchen gadgets and this would be a "grate" addition. The microplane for feet sounds even better than my PedEgg.
my feet need work here.

Dreamsicle Foot Cream sounds really nice. I walk a lot and my feet are in rough shape. I could really use this.
Wow they have a wide range of items. I like their kitchen section. Many items I would use.
My feet are in bad shape. I should wear shoes in the and maybe my feetwould look better.
I need the classic kitchen set of graters for my hubby who has a cooking hobby. As for me, my feet are so in need of attention. They are sore everyday, and just ain't what they used to be 4 children ago.
My fav would have to be the essentials gift set with the paddle! LOL! That almost songs bad!

Hi there! I too have a bit of a foot fetish and love to take the time to make my feet look pretty! I think the Microplane Foot File will help me to maintain my feet because right now they are in a pretty good state, as long as I keep up with the "maintenance"! Another product that looks great from their website is the Microplane Foot Buffer. I think if you use this in conjunction with the Microplant Foot File you are going to be your own Pedicure Artist, LOL! Thank you for introducing the foot file to us and offering this terrific giveaway to all of us foot fetish people!
I would LOVE to win this, it would be put to good use! I also love the fine grater for grating cheese, nuts, garlic, etc. - its highly functional. Thanks for a great giveaway!

I'm wanting the 4 sided microplane box grater. I have one we got from Ikea when we got married, but it's seen better days. Enough said!
I need one of these, my feet are always so rough!
The foot grater is just what I need.
