My Mother taught me to care for my feet by just watching her.

She would soak them in a big tin bowl with Epsom salt; work the dead skin off around the nails.
Rubbed heals & any rough skin on a big pumice.
Always dried with a rough towel.
Then she would put a glass milk bottle or a coke bottle on the mat in front of her chair
& roll it back & forth under her foot
She would then put a thin coat of Vaseline on them & a thin cotton sock.

As she got older & could not bend so well she made a long handle for a foot file she got at the Chemist..
She never gave up looking after her feet.

After that treatment you feel as if you are walking on air.
I always give myself a mental kick when I do it for not doing it as often as she did.
