## Abstract

The boot having skin-exfoliating means therein is a normal boot that when worn targets different regions of a foot and exfoliates dead skin from said regions of the foot, but in different exfoliating manners. The exfoliating means are designed to massage and exfoliate dead skin from the foot of an end user. The exfoliating means comprise massaging nodes aligned along a front, interior of the boot, which target skin between toes. Another exfoliating means is included along a middle region of the sole and includes an array of nodes that exfoliate skin along a bottom surface of the foot. Exfoliating ridges are located on two regions of the sole and are adapted to exfoliate skin at the rear of the foot and between the array of nodes and massaging nodes. Edge ridges adorn a periphery of the sole and provide additional exfoliating means.
