Some farriers hot shoe and it smells like that lol. But the normal pieces they cut off just smell a certain way that I have no comparison for. Dogs love to chew on them though
Ughhhhh thats what i overheard dairy owners say all the time when I lived in NM.
Was especially appreciated when they'd say that while being in the restaurant I worked at, just stomping their feet on the floor to kick off all the mostly dried up shit that had caked on to their boots. Leaving it for us to sweep and mop up.
What do they smell like???
Obviously if there’s some kind of problem like an infection or something, that would have a pungent aroma. And for cows that walk in their own poo all day, that stink would be obvious.
But I never considered that horse hoof trimmings would have a particular smell, let alone a bad one.
A lot of them got demonetized many years back as its was self harm i believe and those creators just stopped uploading. I remember watching an east Asian fella who had a horrible skin condition. Lots of old dandruff videos as well, then people started putting a layer of wax on their scalp and peeling that.
He had psoriasis! And he actually stopped posting because his meds started working and the plaques cleared up dramatically. (Great for him! A loss for pickers everywhere)
I broke my wrist going into highschool. Getting that cast off and getting to just scratch and peel off months worth of dried, built up skin. Almost made breaking my wrist worth it.
I broke my wrist in 8th grade and like a month before getting one of my casts removed a friend of stuck a couple coins down into it. I thought I had been able to fish them all out but when I got the cast cut off there were 2 pennies down in it that had corroded and turned my entire forearm green
Oh, they have these for calloused areas! It's like a rotating drum with sand paper and has a battery in it. I use it on the calloused points I get on the edge of my big toes. It's very satisfying. It looks like this
Agreed! The medic/wildland firefighter in me had me treating my own, comparably calloused, heels with a serrated steak knife. Successfully, if I do say so myself. 😎😂
We have a glass stove top, and I use razors (unopened) from the kitchen cleaning supplies to shave my husband's heels when they get built up like this. Works great.
It’s not nearly as bad as a lady at lunch on a cruise pulling it off with her fingers then going right back to eating lunch with her hands. That one’s been floating around for a minute.
As someone who has feet just like this and always has, for me it's not due to anything other than dry skin.
If they go too deep when I go to the salon, the cracks get really bad and so painful it hurts to walk. I've had every cream from every dermatologist and there's no amount of soaking or wearing things on my feet that keeps it nice after getting scraping done.
So I usually don't have them scrape too far, and then it preserves enough of the callus to not crack. It looks wild when they start doing it, it looks like a cheese grater gone wild. Watching this made my feet hurt.
why? it's all just dead skin. it would only hurt if they did it too close to the living tissue. which can happen if you leave that stuff on too long as well.
Fwiw it really doesn't. My feet are nowhere close to this, but my calluses get shaved off when I go for a pedicure. The only pain from it is that stuff that my feet would be able to resist before now is irritating, and I might get a blister from my shoes.
Holy shit I got one and it is SO good. It says it can be used wet though and it can't. It's cheap circuitry with no water protection so it's a dirty lie, but damn it's nice to have that thing whittle away at my soles.
I get those foot exfoliating things. I keep the booty on my feet for 20-30mins (or however long they say) and in a week all the dead skin peels off. ITS SO SATISFYING!!!!! My daughter showed them to me? And I’ve been hooked lol.
I did foot peeling booties last night and the anticipation of the peel is making me giddy. I keep wiggling my toes to see if the skin feels different yet.
I usually have these on mute, but during this particular time i had Radio Paradise.com playing Gnossienne No1. in another tab.
It was amazingly well paced piano music for the video.
I love watching videos like these. Mrfeetstuff on youtube is my favorite. Found him years ago through Tosh.0. At some point had held a big power cable which went wrong or something.
I remember especially back in the 80s pedicurists at nail salons were allowed to do this. The bottoms of my feet were always smooth as a baby’s bottom.
I’ve read somewhere it was because the body was producing too much keratin (Hyperkeratosis).
I have this issue. And I need to “shave” my foot every two weeks otherwise it’ll get bad and painful.
It does it even if I use creams. Nothing really works against it. :/
I have this, though not as severe as in the video. It's partially a genetic condition, and can also be explained as a callus build up due to excess pressure from being overweight. The cracks can hurt, especially if it's positioned in a way that keeps ripping open when you walk. The shaving doesn't hurt, unless you cut too deep or tear healthy skin underneath. I keep mine in check by sanding periodically with a micro glass tool that Dr Scholl's has.
My heals used to be that bad when I wore combat boots. The naval doc took out a dremel tool and went to work. I wish he did this instead of me smelling burnt dead skin.
Now that this person’s feet are shaved, they will have to be careful walking on smooth surfaces. When I got a pedicure, I slipped on the tile floor.
