Just another reason for me to buy and Emjoy for my feet

FYI, emjoi is at Costco.com and in Costco stores. 29.99 with 3 rollers.

How you present yourself to the world says something about you. It is part of the message you are sending to other people about yourself.

What do you think you are saying if you show feet you don't take care of?

And please, if you are not going to wear polish on your tootsies and your nails look dingy, yellow and yucky, and you can't get them to look clean, you can buy a powder that you put into warm water and dip your toes into, and they will bring your toenails back to the pretty white they should be!

I also know there is also a way to do it at home, probably with hydrogen peroxide and baking powder, I'm guessing?

That stuff never worked for me. My toenails were tinged yellow from wearing polish all the time they said. I tried that stuff but it did nothing.

Polident is what I read in a magazine works and it really did. And it's super cheap.

Oh, I just love the "holier than thou" statements made by those who claim that they never look at anyone's feet, and judge those of us who believe in simple hygiene...because that IS basically what those of us who are grossed out by grubby feet are, in fact, talking about...just simple hygiene. Clean, well-groomed feet are a part of being a clean, well-groomed person...obviously. Hygiene habits may be different for some, but, sorry to say, those people need to be taught proper hygiene, because, whether you care to admit it or not, there is indeed a right way to be clean...and then there is the other way...the dirty way! Clean is clean...good taste in shoe selection is good taste, and should involve choosing footwear appropriate to the condition of your feet...and, yes, I agree with the poster that said polish should be used if you are going to show your toes...what is the problem some have with doing, or having, a pedi? What is the matter with wearing polish on toes? What difference can it possibly make if your nails discolor because of polish? You should have the discoloration covered by more polish anyway! Plus...toe nails discolor and thicken with age...regular pedicures will help your feet in lots of ways...there are just some things that are true...some would rather make holier than thou statements than admit that, unfortunately. Bottom line...just take care of your feet...do the world a favor!

My pet peeve is....people who judge the appearance of others when they really need to just mind their own business.

EXACTLY!!! I do keep my feet clean, use my emjoi on heels,toenails trimmed, but never polished. One of my big toenails has fungus & is almost black. I have tried everything on it. It is also shaped weird & I can not do much with it. I AM going to wear my flip flops, it IS embarrassing, but I really don't much care. If people don't like my toenails, they can look up instead of down.

If you have a medical issue, have it treated if possible...wear shoes that are appropriate and comfortable, of course, but an"I don't care how my feet look and if you don't like them, don't look" attitude is as unflattering in and of itself as are the gross feet!
