I've always been a barefoot kinda girl myself, too. All I ever use is a pumice stone every time I take a shower. When my back is bothering me too much to bend down, I use a cinder block out in the back yard and run water over it while I scrape off the calluses by running that part of my foot over the cinder block. Both the pumice stone and the cinder block leave my callused feet baby smoooooooooooooooth!
