1. Medicated, waterproof bandagesto help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin if freezing hasn't been giving you the results you want. Over 35,000 customers have rated these 5 stars for their jaw-dropping results (some after just one application)!
Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off.I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life.Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

2. A professional-grade callus-removing gel that's earned 3,000 5-star reviews (and counting) because it effortlessly removes calluses, cracks, and dead skin in just a few steps! Not to mention, you have an excuse to draw yourself a fancy foot bath and enjoy a little TLC.
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love, love, love." —Cheri whisker

3. *OR* a veganurea foot cream, which helps restore and hydrate calloused and dry feet with a blend of aloe vera, safflower seed oil, chamomile, and tea tree oil.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this topical product to heal broken, dry, calloused feet and toes. I ignored my foot care for quite a bit while pregnant (I couldn't reach!) and then postpartum a bit. After the winter in the desert, my heels and large toe pads were cracked and parched. I used this product every day for 10 days, and the results were amazing! I slathered it on after my shower in the morning, put on socks, and wore that during the day for 10 days. My feet are healed, with no trace of dryness. Even my toenails are improved and hydrated. My hands are also healed (I'm constantly washing my hands) because I would apply this to my feet and rub the rest in. I highly recommend this product for anyone suffering from super-dry, cracked feet. It works! It is thick, so cover with socks and let the warmth and barrier marinate your dry feet and toes into soft, beautiful skin!" —Natalie

4. A pair of metatarsal pads that simply wrap around your toe and instantly begin delivering comfort to the balls of your feet, thanks to superior gel cushioning.
Promising review:"These really take the pressure off my metatarsal area; without them, it was causing my big toe to hurt when I wore a slight heel. They are easy to use with any shoe because they don't adhere. The placement is always perfect because you slip the attached silicone ring over your toe. Surprisingly, it stays in place! Glad I found this solution." —Cathy S.

5. A two-pack of wearablefreezer gel wrapswhich use cold therapy to help soothe aching feet after a long day of standing, walking, running, or hiking!

Amazon
Promising review:"This is a great ice pack kit. It holds the ice pack firmly in place against the needed area, and you can put it on as loosely or as tightly as you like. It is only good for the ankle, wrist, or foot, as the wrap is just the right size for these applications. I used it for a sprained ankle/foot, and it was very helpful. The ice pack is removable and doesn't take up much room in the freezer, either. After being frozen, the ice pack keeps cool for about 20 minutes, which is a perfect ice application time. I plan to buy a second one!" —KnockKnock

6. Anankle wedgeto deliver a deeeeeep stretch in your foot and lower leg muscles simply by applying light pressure and rocking your foot back and forth. Get ready to ease on down the road in comfort!
Promising review: "I came down with a great case of plantar fasciitis, and a friend who is a physical therapist said, 'It's about stretching out that calf muscle!' Rather than go through the usual stretching contortions in hopes of focusing in on the calves, I started looking at these kinds of devices. All I can say is, this one is easy to use and is also good for hamstrings and other potentially troublesome muscles that need stretching in order to avoid problems (especially as one ages...). I used it daily, and my plantar troubles were gone within a couple of weeks. I don't know if other such devices work better, but this one gets a 100% rating from this aging being." —Honest American Reviewer

7. Foot exfoliating peel masksthat must be magic, considering the way dead skin flakes off after one application, eventually leaving you with feet softer than when you were born, TBH. Is the peeling-skin process gross? Definitely. It's basically black magic, but over 49,000 5-star ratings prove it's worth it.
Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel (or be totally grossed out) at the layers of dead skin peeling off your feet over the next couple of weeks.
Promising review: "I’ve tried these peels before, and NOTHING has ever been this effective. I usually get the pack of five in lavender because they’re cheaper and you get more product. But now I see why you get what you pay for. I’ve never had a foot peel do this much work. The lavender peels are not as effective on the heel or calluses as I’d like, but these are a game changer!" —iCandi

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A pack of suede heel grips to place in the backs of your shoes for extra comfort, blister prevention, and even helping those sky-high platforms fit snugly over your narrow heels. Those brand-new pumps in your closet? Insert a pair of these, because it's time to break them in.
Promising review: "I have very narrow heels, so finding shoes that do not slip is incredibly difficult. However, since I purchased the Pedag padded leather heel grips, I have been able to wear all of my shoes. The heel grips are thick enough to keep my shoes from slipping in the back, but not so thick that it makes my shoes feel smaller. Also, the heel grips are made out of a super-soft leather. Even through I have sweaty shoes, the heel grips have stayed stuck to the back part of the shoe. Each set of heel grips is wrapped individually, so it is easy to store the extras that I am saving for shoes in the future." —Derek

11. A fungal nail renewal formula: If the appearance of your toes lately has been giving you the ick, this will help reduce discoloration, thicken your nails, and even leave them looking smoother and healthier!
Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot
Get it from Amazon for$15.79+(also available with a nail file).
12. A pair ofchunky sneakersspecifically designed with innovative support to help people with knee pain prevent further stress on their joints and feet. A roomy toe, flexible material, shock-absorbent sole, and front rolling design (which creates a rocking effect to reduce pressure) make sure you stay comfortable no matter what you've got planned for the day!
Promising review: "To start, I have messed-up feet: bunions, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and they are EXTRA wide. Anyway, these shoes are the answer to my prayers. I bartend — I NEED support. Saw these and ordered with expectations of returning them. I will say, try all three different inserts that come with them. They say to break them in one to three hours a day for a few days...BS! I put them on and didn’t want to take them off! The support made my lower back pain not so noticeable, there is plenty of room in the toe box, and this is the very first pair of shoes I can recall where my foot does not hang over the edge of the sole, as it is sufficiently wide. And as a final note, I just finished a Friday night shift. My feet are fine!"—Michele P
Get them from Amazon for$99.95+ (available in sizes 6–11; in regular, wide, and extra-wide widths; and in 12 colors).
13. A podiatrist-level toenail clipperbecause sometimes a regular clipper just isn't up to the job. These stainless steel blades can tackle the toughest toenails, even if they're extra thick or ingrown, and a lightweight, no-slip handle allows for easy handling.
Here's why my BuzzFeed Shopping colleagueEmma Lordloves this thing:"Hello, my toenails are problem children for two reasons: One is that they're kinda thick, the other is that I'm a long-distance runner, which doesn't play nice with toenails. I bought this recently, and the difference it made immediately was ENORMOUS. Like, I usually dread approaching my big toenails because they are so thick, but these painlessly and seamlessly lobbed the tops right off; I was also able to ~gently correct~ a toenail that was starting to getingrown andhelp cut down a dead toenail that needed trimming but would have been painful to approach with a regular clipper."
Promising review: "We bought this for our teen grandson to use for an ingrown toenail because he was not able to go to a nail salon that he trusted to fix this problem. It worked perfectly. He was so pleased with the result, as it took care of his painful problem! Thank you for making a fantastic product. Every household should own one!" —T.S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
14. A bottle of Carpe antiperspirant foot lotion for anyone whose feet seem to sweat, no matter the footwear. This helps to save your toes from blisters, keep your feet fresh and dry, and even prevent them from getting stinky so quickly!

Amazon
Promising review: "Bought this for my boyfriend, who is on his feet all day and was always complaining about how sweaty his feet got. He usually had to bring at least one extra pair of socks to change into during the day. He also had to buy shoes more often because of how they smell. It would be impossible for us to get out the smell. Since he began using this product, he can't believe how dry his feet stay ALL day. His socks don't even smell after a full day of work. He's now obsessed, and it's become a part of his daily routine." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+(also available with an applicator).
15. Or theseSanuk Yoga Mat Flip-Flopsdesigned with the same material in the sole as a cushy yoga mat — you'll be so comfortable you may never want to take them off. And reviewers even say that after having these flip-flops for years...they still look and feel like they just bought them! 😮
Promising review: "Fit was consistent with other similar flip flops I've purchased. A wide-enough foot bed, without looking clunky. Soles were not at all slippery on rug, tile, or hardwood floors (they would have been returned immediately if they were). Straps comfortable...a little low, but hold your feet in place. No discomfort between toes. No break-in required. My first try of this brand, but likely won't be my last." —Gisell375
Get them from Amazon for $25+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 15 styles).
16. An orthotic insole insertso you can transform your favorite shoes — specifically sneakers, walking or running shoes, boots, and maybe even a pair of flats with removable insoles — into a comfortable oasis for your ~sole~, thanks to a deep, stabilizing heel cup, shock-absorbing materials, and built-in arch support.
Promising review: "I’ve gone through a lot of different types of insoles, from inexpensive to extremely expensive. I stand all day long, every day, on concrete, so my feet get pretty sore. I’ve only been wearing these for about a week, and OMG, do my feet feel great. I did have to cut them down a sizable amount in the middle, which was pretty hard to do because they are significantly hard on the bottom, but once I got done with that, they fit perfectly. The arch is really good and definitely helps my feet, and the insole adds just the right amount of cushion. I definitely recommend these for the low price. Will definitely be buying more for other shoes." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes 6–14.5 and men's sizes 4–16.5 and in four colors).
17. Plus, cozy Ugg insolesjust perfect for restoring your current pair's footbed, even after years of walking around in them sockless. You can also use them in pretty much any shoe with a similar shape, transforming them into slippers!
Promising review: "These insoles were somewhat of a 'Hail Mary' for me after I bought a pair of nonrefundable winter boots that were not well insulated and were slightly too loose. These are one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life. My boots not only fit perfectly now, but they are SO COMFORTABLE and warm. I can walk around in them all day and they keep my feet warm and dry. My feet are between sizes, and based on the reviews, I went with the smaller size, which was perfect. I'm contemplating buying another pair to have on hand in case I want to add them to another set of boots." —janesays13

Promising review: "Thisshoedoesanexcellentjobwith the reflexology points. I ordered myshoesize, and it fits just as myshoesfit. The first day, I could only wear it a couple of minutes because it was quite painful, but it was doing itsjob. The more I wore it, the less painful it became. Thisshoehas been a tremendous help to me. I realize that when I wear it, I sleep better at night. This photo shows that it is hitting certain pressure points for proper reflexology (above, right). I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good reflexology massage without having to pay so much money for it." —Corinne Dabney

Promising review: "I bought this expecting it to help a little bit with my winter feet going into summer, but I just used it for the first time and was SHOCKED at how well it actually worked!! So much dead skin came off, and I was actually grossed out by the amount that came off my foot. Quick, painless, and easy to use. Recommend this to everyone!! I’ve used other electric files in the past, but this one is the best I’ve ever used." —Hailey Thanasiu

Promising review: "I needed this foot scrubber because I have balance issues, making it difficult to properly clean my feet and toes. The first time I used this, it tickled my feet. Now I can use it every day without being tickled…it just takes time to get used to the sensation.
"The important part is how well this works. My feet and toes are clean. The design ensures that the sides of my feet are scrubbed and smooth after each use. I really like that this has suction cups and substantial weight so it doesn’t move all over the place when I’m using it. This is exactly what I needed." —Biscuit Lady

Promising review: "I’ve had soft feet my entire life, but once I went through the police academy, my feet got so calloused. I felt nothing could help; I tried all the tricks. That is, until I started wearing these! I also put petroleum jellyon my feet before putting these slippers on. They work with only half a night's rest!!" —Eikaiva Boyer
