Why Do I Have Calluses?
You may suffer from calluses for several reasons:
• Your shoes are too tight. Stop believing that every pair of shoes needs to be broken in. If the shoes are not comfortable, then they are hurting your feet. Do not use your feet as tools to stretch out and expand high heels. Shoes were made for your feet, not the other way around.
• You have flat feet. People who exhibit flat feet, high arched feet or bony feet are also susceptible to calluses due to unequal weight distribution. To correct this balance, invest in orthotics or insoles that absorb shock and reduce friction.
• You are not attentive to your feet. The easiest way to get rid of calluses is to well…remove them. To remove and prevent calluses, soak your feet in warm water for 15 minutes and use a pumice stone on trouble areas.
• You don’t moisturize. Water is just as important to your skin as it is to your health. Get into the habit of applying a moisturizing lotion to your feet daily after a shower. This will keep the skin soft and supple.
