The autumn and winter weather can wreak havoc on our skin, including our feet which may quickly become dry and cracked as cold air outdoors and central heating indoors work together to reduce humidity and leave them crying out for moisture. For those suffering from sore or itchy feet, one solution has earned hundreds of five-star reviews for making “a real difference”.
Shoppers have credited the Glowxie Overnight Footcare Ritual with making their feet “silky” while helping cracks and hard skin to “almost completely disappear”. Currently on offer for £24.99, the set includes a Glass Foot File and two pairs of Gel Lined Heel Socks, plus a free accessory bag, for a routine designed to leave users waking up with softer and smoother feet.
The dual-action Glass Foot File is made from toughened hygienic glass to gently buff away calluses on wet or dry feet without being overly harsh or leaving cuts or scratches. It won’t rust unlike metal nail files, and is also a long-lasting alternative to disposable options that can be rinsed clean under warm water and used time and time again.
The Gel Lined Heel Socks have padded gel-infused heels to lock moisture in during sleep, with a breathable toeless design for comfort. Together, the duo can be used to achieve “baby-soft feet” at home, the brand claims, as a more budget-friendly alternative to salon pedicure treatments.
Glowxie suggests scrubbing and moisturising feet after filing before sleeping in the socks for maximum effect. The brand also offers a Vitamin Enriched Foot Scrub for £12.99 to gently exfoliate and Salicylic Acid Reviving Foot Cream for £14.99 to hydrate and help restore the skin barrier, while all of these products are available in a Complete Pedicure Set for £39.99 for a full foot care routine.

Elsewhere, the bestselling foot care buy at Boots is the high street retailer’s own brand Coconut Foot Bundle, which has a price tag of £5. This bundle includes Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Nourishing Foot Cream and Moisturising Coconut Oil Foot Socks, which have earned ratings of 4.7 and 4.6 out of five stars from shoppers respectively.
And over on Amazon, one of the most popular purchases is O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet Foot Cream, which has also racked up a score of 4.6 out of five based on more than 80,000 ratings. Priced at £8.60, this cream is made with glycerin, stearic acid and allantoin to help lock moisture in and restore the skin’s protective barrier, according to the brand.
Back at Glowxie, one shopper who bought the XL Overnight Footcare Ritual said: “The parts of my feet that are in poor condition are my heels, which are extremely dry with hardened skin as I do a lot of walking and standing. The cracks have almost completely disappeared, the hard skin on the underside of my big toes, the tiny callus build-up on the ball of foot just under toes and the side of foot are pretty much all gone.”
Another reviewer who tried the bundle fed back: “I was suffering from cracked heels and nothing seemed to work till now. I’ve been using it for over two weeks now along with the socks, and I’ve seen vast improvement. I’ve even done my mum’s feet and was amazed at how much dead skin came off. definitely recommend.”
The Glass Foot File in the Overnight Footcare Ritual was even recommended by experts, with someone else writing: “I must say [this is] the best foot file I’ve ever used. I’m a beauty therapist and I have used a lot in my time of work. My feet look, and feel great. I highly recommend the foot file.”
Not everyone was quite as impressed with the set, however. One person shared: “File a bit odd to hold, and would love full socks as toes get dry too, not just heels.”
A different customer echoed: “Only tried twice so far but have liked the results. Wish the socks covered the whole foot.”
Meanwhile, another shopper praised: “I ordered the bundle based off all the reviews I read, and they were all right! This kit is amazing! My heels are now like a newborn baby’s.”
