When exercise is an important part of your life, and you spend the evenings pounding the tarmac, it's bound to leave your feet in a less than desirable state! So in an attempt to find the perfect foot soother, we asked an avid athelete to put some lotions and potions to test. Here are the results!
4. Virgin Vie Footsteps, £7.00 for 150ml
Although on first application this product gave a refreshing
feeling, and it had a nice minty scent, it just didn’t live
up to our tester’s expectations. Feet didn’t feel fully
moisturised and the cream didn’t seem to soak in fully so
left the feet slightly sticky.

3. Lush Fair Trade Foot Lotion, £5.45 for 225g
The main issue with this product was the packaging – it comes
in a tub and once you’ve removed the lid it doesn’t
seem to want to go back on properly. As a result it kept spilling
out! It was, however, good value for money and did achieve what it
stated on the pack, leaving feet nice and soft. Our tester also
said it looks and smells like toothpaste so make sure it’s
kept out of reach of children!

2. Barefoot Doctor Sweet Feet, £4.49 for 125ml
The packaging on this product doesn’t really sell the product
– not giving instructions for use or highlighting the
benefits. It was however, good value for money, didn’t smell
of toothpaste – which made a nice change – and left
feet feeling moisturised and soft.

1. Clinique Water Therapy Foot Smoothing Cream, £15.00 for
125ml
It’s hard to believe but this product made our tester’s
feet so soft she got blisters the next time she went training!
Putting that to one side though this proved to be the best of the
bunch – more expensive but definitely worth it for feet that
now feel fantastic!
