£25 Glowxie footcare set leaves cracked heels 'soft'

Glowxie's XL Overnight Footcare Ritual, a viral footcare set that pairs a glass foot file with gel-lined moisturising socks, is currently on sale for £24.99, down from £29.99, and includes a free £7.99 accessory bag. The set is designed to buff away dead skin and lock in moisture overnight, offering a low-maintenance alternative to salon pedicures.

How the footcare ritual works

The minimal-effort routine combines a laser-etched Glass Foot File with two pairs of gel-lined moisturising socks. The file smoothly removes dead, dry skin without harsh scratching or irritation, unlike standard 'cheese-grater' style buffers. One side of the file is coarse for removing dead skin, while the other is fine and gentle for exfoliation and smoothing.

Crafted from toughened tempered glass, the reusable file is rust-resistant and can be rinsed clean under warm water, making upkeep between uses effortless. After using the file, shoppers can apply their preferred moisturising cream before slipping on the gel-lined heel socks overnight. The soft gel lining is engineered to seal moisture against the skin, helping dry and cracked heels feel noticeably softer and smoother by morning.

Shopper reviews and alternatives

The Glass Foot File from the XL Overnight Footcare Ritual holds an impressive 4.7 average rating on Amazon, while the Gel Lined Moisturising Heel Socks have accumulated 4.8 stars. One five-star reviewer on Glowxie wrote: "I must say 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 this Glowxie foot file. I have even got my mum to buy one too, a very happy customer. Thank you, Glowxie."

Another customer commented: "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. I highly recommend this product." However, not all feedback was entirely positive, with one shopper noting: "It was good, but it can make skin a bit sore if rubbed in the same place too long." Another offered feedback on the socks, saying: "Only tried twice so far, but have liked the results. I wish the socks covered the whole foot."

Other options on the market

For those seeking alternatives, the Ultimate Indulgence for Happy Feet Foot Care Bundle from Bare Feet and Hands, priced at £29 (reduced from £35), includes a foot soak, a foot file, an exfoliating scrub and a conditioning foot cream enriched with manuka honey and avocado oil. Argos also stocks the Rio Go Smooth Electric Foot File for £30, a rechargeable device with three interchangeable heads (coarse, medium and fine), a built-in vacuum system that captures dead skin during use, and up to 80 minutes of use per charge.

One satisfied Glowxie customer summed up the experience: "I kept seeing Glowxie pop up on my social media, so of course I had to order it. I've always suffered with cracked hard skin on the backs of my feet, whatever the weather, and after one use I could see a real difference. It doesn't hurt like some scrubbers do, and the exfoliant and moisturiser smell great, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone." The XL Overnight Footcare Ritual is available to purchase directly from Glowxie.
