Abstract: A strap of flexible material having abrasive material mounted on or embedded in the surface of a central portion thereof for use in the self-removal of foot calluses by persons who cannot or can only with difficulty bend over. The opposing ends of the strap do not have abrasive material mounted thereon and are gripped by the user with respective hands. Upon placing the abrasive material in contact with the foot callus, the user alternatingly pulls on one end of the strap with the left hand while providing tension with the right hand and then pulls on the other end of the strap with the right hand while providing tension with the left hand, in the manner of shining a shoe. As a result of this back and forth motion, the abrasive material rubs against the callus, thereby removing the surface layer of the callus through abrasion.
