ABSTRACT:
A foot sponge for providing cleansing of the feet includes a sponge member which provides a foot receptacle thereinside. The foot receptacle is characterized by an insole upon which a user's foot rests, a fore-foot receptacle into which the fore-foot of the user's foot is received, and preferably a heel receptacle for receiving the heel and ankle area of the user's foot. Preferably, the nose of the forefoot cavity is pre-soaped with a viscous liquid soap. The underside of the sponge member is flat and is connected with a base member having a plurality of uniformly distributed suction cups facing outwardly therefrom. In the preferred form of the foot sponge according to the present invention, the sponge member is composed of two parts, an outer component of a "dry" or "open cell" sponge material which provides the general shape and structural integrity to the foot sponge and an inner component of a "wet" or "closed cell" sponge material which provides a washing interface with the user's skin.
