great item but there are more affordable alternatives [SEP] this works and works well the reason i cannot give it a full star review is because of the price there is a very similar product that is way cheaper and works as well or better than this one i found sole magic online for about a dollar cheaper than this one in superstores and drug stores i found it for a couple of bucks this one does work and i cannot say one negative thing about it other than the price when a pedicure is around even here in alaska where prices are high and i can do upkeep with a similar foot smoothing pad for about i just cannot see paying almost for this one if other customers do want this one i can tell you that it works the shape is nice and makes it easy to grip and use with either hand it is also nice that their is a coarse side and a finer side one thing that i disagree with is that you could use this anywhere but on your feet i do not know what would have to be going on with anyones elbows or knees for them to use this on all in all a great product but a bit overpriced when there are cheaper alternative items that are just as effective
