WOULD YOU EVER…TRY A PORTABLE FOOT BATH?

We asked 100 FIRST readers & staffers to weigh in and…

Running around for the holiday rush has our feet in need of TLC,

so we were intrigued by Soakees Slip-On and Tie Foot Soaking Booties ($20, Amazon.com). The promise? A soothing, no-mess foot soak that straps right to your feet— just add 3 cups of warm water and the included bath salts. Does it really do the trick? Our verdict:

We love it!

“I felt my aching feet coming back to life in less than 5 minutes, and I didn’t have to fuss with setting up a basin to soak my feet in and having to clean it up after.” —Mary Kate Hoban, FIRST assistant editor “The older I get, the more cracked my heels are, so I used the booties hoping to soothe and repair the dry skin. After just three uses, my feet are smoother than they’ve been in years!”

—Danielle Saliman, FIRST beauty director
