With another heatwave on the horizon and holidays booked, many people are turning their attention to getting their feet ready for open-toe shoes. Dry heels, stubborn hard skin and painful cracks can ruin the look of summer outfits, but shoppers have been praising a sub-£25 foot care set as "the best I've ever used". One delighted user said: "I look like I have new feet."
Glowxie has slashed the price of its Overnight Ritual set from £27.99 to £23.49 ahead of the warm weather. The bundle pairs the brand's popular Glass Foot File with two pairs of Gel Lined Moisturising Heel Socks. For a limited period, shoppers will also receive a complimentary accessory bag worth £7.99.
Why the Glowxie set is a game-changer
Regular salon pedicures quickly add up, and some people have admitted they feel too "embarrassed" to book an appointment because of the state of their feet. The Glowxie set costs less than a single professional treatment, lasts up to 12 months and can be used in the comfort of your own home.
The star of the bundle is the Glass Foot File, which typically retails at £14.99 on its own. Unlike traditional metal rasps or blades, it uses a precision laser-etched tempered glass surface that gently buffs away dead skin without cutting healthy tissue. As you use it, dead skin flakes off as a fine powder, and smoother feet are visible almost immediately.
The file is built to last, reports the Express. It won't rust, rinses clean under warm water and requires no replacement pads. Glowxie suggests it can last between nine and 12 months with proper upkeep.
How to get sandal-ready feet at home
After buffing feet smooth, the brand recommends applying foot cream before slipping on the Gel Lined Moisturising Heel Socks. These are designed to lock in moisture overnight, softening dry, cracked heels while you sleep.
For those who prefer a different approach, there are other options available. Dr. Scholl's Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File, on sale at Boots for £29.99, features an ultra roller head for tough skin and a fine roller head for smoothing and polishing. It offers a dual-speed motor and Pressure Lock Technology for safe dead-skin removal.
Meanwhile, L'Occitane's Shea (Karité) Foot Cream, priced at £27, is a favourite for those who only need hydration rather than exfoliation. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy cream contains 15 percent shea butter, plus soothing lavender essential oil and anti-inflammatory arnica extract. It is suitable for sensitive skin as well.
Shopper reviews: what are customers saying?
The Glowxie bundle has drawn overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many customers saying it has boosted their confidence. One buyer wrote: "I'm thrilled. I can't believe what these products can do just after one use. Finally I have silky feet, feeling confident to wear sandals now."
Another added: "Fabulous self care gift to me. Feet haven't felt this soft and wonderful in a long time. I absolutely love the packaging, which gives luxury vibes at an affordable price."
A third commented: "I absolutely love my foot file. Every week my skin feels so soft. It sheds so much from your feet and with summer coming the flip flops will be worn with pride. Well worth the price. I purchased several for my friends and they love it."
One particularly detailed review read: "My feet were the worst they had ever been and actually felt quite embarrassed to get a pedicure done but omg what a magical set, my feet feel invigorated and like I have been and had a pedicure but can now have whenever I want in the comfort of my own home and at a fraction of the price. A little goes a long way, so relaxing and with hardly any effort, I look like I have new feet."
Any downsides? Honest opinions
While the set has earned mostly five-star ratings, a few customers raised minor issues. One shopper found the heel socks too restrictive: "I really like the glass file and the cream and foot scrub. I am not happy with the socks, they are really tight and I cannot wear them."
Another expected the file to be bigger than it appears online, though they still praised its performance: "I thought the file was bigger than it actual is. Looks bigger in the video. But it works perfectly!"
For those wanting a larger size, Glowxie also offers an XL Glass File, which is available in another under-£25 duo set. Overall, customers have been thrilled, with one saying there's "no embarrassing ugly dry skin" left behind.
Where to buy the Glowxie Overnight Ritual
