Are you a runner, a golf enthusiast, a dog walker, a mountain climber, a waitress or find yourself on your feet all day because of your job,? If you live an active lifestyle, the likelihood of calluses on your feet is high. Calluses are tough areas of skin that are formed friction and pressure. Repeatedly performing the same function will continue to place resistance on the same contact points in your shoes from your feet. And while most calluses are not painful but merely unsightly bumps; some calluses can cause discomfort or pain.
Podiatrist and foot care specialists do not recommend cutting the calluses off with a razor or sharp instrument. The risk of infection would be high and the reduction would only be a temporary solution. Filing or sanding the calluses is better but that too is just a temporary solution.
Footwear that allows even room; especially in the toe box, is important. Properly aligning your feet to insure stability and balance will greatly decrease friction caused by rubbing points in your shoes. Orthotics are recommended to help correctly align your feet and ankles. Insuring proper foot arch function can be obtained by using Orthotic Arch Support Insoles.
Several brands of good quality Orthotic Insoles are available at a reasonable price. Look for reputation of the manufacturer, type and length of guarantee offered, variety of foot care products offered to insure you find the exact solution for your exact problem, if the Orthotics are doctor recommended and durability.
