This time of year, your heels look like birch bark. Well, if birch bark had calluses.

What's a sandal-loving person to do? Buy one of Microplane's foot tools. Brought to you by the same company responsible for those fabulous, razor-sharp cheese graters, the foot version lives up to Microplane's reputation.

Unlike the usual suspects -- pumice stones, scrubbie sponges, foot peelers -- you use the tools on dry skin. And the results are fabulous.

I know, it sounds dangerous. But trust me, I've tried it, and if I didn't hurt myself, you certainly won't.

In other words, your (birch) bark is much worse than its bite.

Suggested retail price is $19.95-$21.95, depending on which model you choose. Visit HTML Tutorial [1] for information.
