Can this be used for heels on feet? And where do you buy the replacement disks for this item?

Yes, I have used it on the heels of my feet. It helps to smooth the calluses. Just be careful to not smooth off too much of the callus--heels can become sore. Sorry I don't know where to buy replacement disks.

Of course you can use it for heels! But you will have to make sure the contact is light and short. This item came with 2 bags of disks (each bag has 6 disks, 12 total) and there's an order form in the box that you can order from.

The Lure Company in Hauppauge NY sells the Tip2Toe machine and replacement disks. Order forms are in the box you receive. Any place you can reach you can grind off old dead skin.

It comes with several disks. You need to use such little pressure that the disks that are supplied at purchase will last a long, long time. But if needed, you can get replacement disks from Amazon. Secondly, I use the appliance on my heels only. I still say it's the best thing I have ever purchased for myself! My heels are fabulous and I'm 64 years old. I always tell people to buy Sole Food at the same time the Tip to Toe is purchased. It's the best cream for your feet. I read about it on Amazon also.

YesI dont know as i didnt try it.. i turned it on, was way too noisy..like an airplane engine so straight away i packed it up and returned it.. it was disappointing.. the manufacturer needs to modify it so it is not so noisy...

Contact the company. I use it basically to repair soles of shoes, to hold them on the shoe.

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

Not cheap, but you can order a dozen replacement disks from KitchenKrafts.com. But if it CAME missing one, I'd contact the seller (Amazon?) customer service - maybe they'll send you a replacement bottom.

They are very hard rubber. Sort of like a rubbermaid dish drainer. They could be a problem with high heels.

Probably not the whole foot. The pic is a good representation of how it would fit. I use it for my heel area and it works great.

Hi...I can only convey what my wife says (bought it for her)...She LOVES the product and she says it will work for your feet. She tried it out prompted by your question. She uses it mainly for her back and legs. Hope this helps.

That could work--never thought of this novel idea. I would think that you could tape a strip inside the back of the heel area?

I love mine. I mostly wear flat shoes and can easily fit five pairs on each shelf. The shoes can be stored sideways, so yes, high heels could be stored. One point you should know; we decided to fix mine to the wall to ensure the stability. I found it be good value and useful

Any exercise equipment that you stand or walk on is not going to stop sore feet, the only thing that helps that are walking shoes with good support or cross trainer shoes and of course losing the excess weight. The squeaking that some have with the Gazelle, I've not experienced with mine. Maybe retightening the screws/nuts/bolts? would help and some WD-40 or any other metal lubricant

Hi heals will be an issue. These are thin and depending on how sharp the heal is and how rough the surface you walk on will be, they will rip if the heels are pretty pointed and if the surface you walk on is rough. On smooth floors or carpets they're fine but heels cannot be too pointed.

I have found it very helpful with some shoes, but not all. Heel height doesn't matter, it's mostly the cut and width of the shoe. It is definitely an item to have and it does make wearing some shoes easier.

Yes it will work, but the front part of the stretcher will not fit into the point of shoe. It will stretch the sides. I've used it for a few pair of pointy-toe heels for my self and friends.

There's an option to buy "feet" for $8.00. There's a page in the instruction manual with the number to call to order them. They'll boost the cabinet up and still match.

I am going to try this cream with silcone heel socks- which works great to reduce the pain from standing on crakced heels. Let us know if you tried it!
