Tired of hiding your damaged feet shame with the even more shameful practice of wearing socks with sandals? Then you’ll need the Micro-Pedi.

These days, men will own up to nearly any number of beauty treatments and regimes to make themselves look good, all without their peers even batting an eyelid.

Nowadays you can walk into a dingy pub and tell patrons of your amazing anti-exfoliating body wash or regale coal miners on the virtues of a chest wax and all you’re likely to get are a few confused looks and polite requests for you to leave the premises.

Seemingly, men have finally cast off the shackles of peer pressure and decided that if they want to make the effort of looking their best, they’ll be upfront about it.

Yet when it comes to the most precious of possessions – our hands and feet – men are unlikely to ever divulge any interest in either a manicure or pedicure.

Perhaps it’s the names of both treatments are considered too feminine but most men will instead hide in black socks for 12 months of a year rather than expose damaged feet. Thankfully, help is on the way, in the form of the Micro-Pedi unit, a professional-at-home pedicure system that works on all areas of the feet to remove dead skin cells safely and quickly.

No longer will you have to wear socks and sandals together having used the Micro-Pedi and quite frankly, if you do wear socks with sandals already, please stop doing so immediately.

With the Micro-Pedi, a unique roller spins 360 degrees at 30 times per second to give immediate results and smooth dry, rough, calloused skin on feet. The result? Even babies will be envious of your incredible new feet. Granted, that comparison may be pushing it slightly, but you get the point.

Salon-quality

Essentially, what the Micro-Pedi does is provide you with salon-quality results instantly, while the unit itself is portable and easy to use. So if you’re not willing to flash your Hobbit-like feet in front of salon staff, bring that pedicure experience and more importantly, the results, to your home instead.

Let’s be honest, there are plenty of men out there who aren’t too happy with their feet but either don’t have the means or the inclination to speak up, as they’re afraid of being embarrassed. Yet with the Micro-Pedi you can alleviate any issues you have without anyone needing to know, or you can provide it as the ideal gift for anyone who will likely thank you after receiving your not-so-subtle message.

So what are you waiting for? Time to put your best feet forward and give them the Micro-Pedi treatment – if not for you, then at least the rest of your family that have been quietly living with your socks and sandals shame.

The Micro-Pedi is available from Lifes 2 Good for just €34.95.
