What Causes Callus?
Callus is caused by repeated friction, pressure, or irritation on the skin.
This triggers the skin to thicken and harden as a protective response. Calluses and hardened skin don’t just look rough; they can also cause discomfort when walking or standing for long hours. So, you need a professional foot file to get rid of them, not an ordinary local file.
How to Use Stainless Steel Foot File
- Use the coarse side to gently remove thick calluses or rough skin.
- Switch to the fine side to smooth and polish the skin.
- Rinse the file under warm water after use and allow it to air dry.
- For best results, use 1–2 times per week and follow with Urea Foot Balm

HOW TO USE
Simple Weekly Foot File Routine
Use the Imperial Feet Stainless Steel Foot File gently and consistently. Slow, steady sessions work better than fast and heavy filing.
Start With the Coarse Side
Use the coarse side to gently remove thick calluses or rough skin. Do not press too hard — light pressure gives better control.
Smooth With the Fine Side
Switch to the fine side to smooth and polish the skin after the thicker hard skin has been reduced.
Rinse and Air Dry
Rinse the file under warm water after use and allow it to air dry completely before storing it.
Use 1–2 Times Per Week
For best results, use 1–2 times per week. Avoid over-filing, as gentle regular care is better than aggressive sessions.
AFTERCARE
Always Follow With Imperial Feet Urea Foot Balm
To keep moisture from escaping and to help prevent calluses from re-forming, apply Imperial Feet Urea Foot Balm after filing.
PRO TIP
For Thick or Stubborn Calluses
Spray Imperial Feet Callus Softener first, then file after 30–60 seconds. This softens keratin for easier and gentler removal from the surrounding skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use the foot file?
For maintenance, 1–2 times per week. For people that have thick calluses, begin every 3–4 days until they get smaller, then use once a week. Always use a foot balm containing urea afterwards.
Can I use this if I have diabetes?
Do not use any callus remover if you have diabetes or weak feet, see your doctor or podiatrist first. Avoid application on skin with cracks, irritation and inflammation.
What should I apply after using the foot file?
Always use a moisturizer that contains urea. Imperial Feet Urea Foot Balm deeply hydrates and gently continues to exfoliate over time thickened skin. Apply well and wear socks at night for optimum results.
Can I use this foot file on wet or dry feet?
Yes, this stainless steel foot file will work with both. For best results use on dry skin to soften hard callus, then on slightly damp skin for a smooth, shiny finish. A deeper treatment can be obtained by soaking the feet in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
Is this foot file safe for professional salon use?
Absolutely. The stainless steel body is autoclavable, meaning it can be sterilized between each client. This is ideal for professional podiatrists and pedicurists that require the highest level of clinic sterilization.
How is this different from a pumice stone?
A pumice stone wears out, absorbs bacteria and is hard to sanitize correctly. The stainless file is easy to clean, rust-free and will not absorb stains, it can last for years, and has no holes. It also provides much greater accuracy in the amount of skin that is being removed.
