    I think this is called a pumice stone, but I have never used one.

      Yup, that’s the one. Never used one either, but I should probably start since taking my socks off feels like I’ve got velcro on my heels.

      Hmm… Wonder if that’s how velcro was first invented…

      Yup. Pumice stoves work well but you need to be careful how much you use them. I use them once a week or so in the shower with warm water running over my feet. If you draw blood, you’ve gone too far and it will sting like a bitch.

        I am almost certain that this is incorrect, but I always feared my boots would tear up my feet if I lost my callouses.

          I use it to help get the dead skin off, the pumice stone won’t generally take off calluses unless you just go nuts… Now, there are things that will take calluses off like microplaners (think the kitchen tool that zests citrus skin).
