Calluses- once u start havin' them, does that mean that you've worn out your shoes and need to buy a new one?
Question:
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.
Answers:
There are several causes: 1) shoes needing replacement 2) avoiding certain types of shoes 3) the 'walking motion'. Calluses develop because of excessive pressure at a specific area of the foot. Some common causes of callus formation are high-heeled dress shoes, shoes that are too small, obesity, abnormalities in the gait cycle (walking motion), flat feet, high arched feet, bony prominences, and the loss of the fat pad on the bottom of the foot. Correct supports placed in comfortable shoes are helpful. Once the cause of the callus is found by testing various methods then a remedy can be applied to solve the problem.
It could be that the particular kind of shoe is not good for your feet. Try a different kind of shoes.
