What: Angela gives Dr. Scholl’s For Her Pumice Foot Scrub and Foot Softening Balm a test run.

The Lowdown: Dr. Scholl’s, the go-to-guy for all things foot, offers up a line of products for the ladies. The pumice scrub boasts the benefit of a pumice stone in lotion form, to exfoliate and moisturize. The softening balm is billed as a boon for rehydrating dry callused skin. Appealing to your olfactory senses? The pumice brings a blast of inspiring peppermint, while the balm contains lavender for a soothing finish.

The pumice is not a scrub for the faint of heart - it lives up to its name, but in a good way, smoothing out those rough summer edges that come from padding around in bare feet as much as possible. The softening balm is the thickest foot cream I’ve seen, and also delivers on it’s promise - after the first use, my tootsies are the most touchable they’ve been all season.

Yea or Nay: A big whopping yea. Run, don’t walk, to your Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart or other local drugstore.

What: Dr. Scholl’s Original Women’s Sandals

Price: $28.99, at Dr. Scholls.com

My Opinion: Back in the day, my mom had a pair of the classic wooden Dr. Scholl sandals, which I believe she bought at our local Walgreens (my mother LOVES Walgreens).  I still don’t, to this day, understand how shoes made from the same wood used for the floor in your elementary shoe gym, could be comfortable, but my mom and contemporaries all rocked those wooden sandals and Walgreens made a bundle.

Fast forward to the new millennium and Dr. Scholl’s has finally updated their classic Women’s Sandals and the new versions are like the “anti flip-flop”. Unlike the flip-flop, the inch high plastic (buh-bye wood) sole maintains a safe distance from the yuck that is found on any urban street and your tootsies.  The shoes are actually stylish,  so stylish that even the boys at the corner bodega even took notice when I wore them to get the morning paper. Plus the soles of the sandals are made of a squishy foam like material that forms to the shape of your foot, which makes them perfect for those of us looking for comfortable and style.

Yea or Nay: Yea, Yea, Yea. I live in these sandals
