How to control Callused skin:

Dry skin and callus/ callous or hard skin are not the same thing but can co-exist.

Dry and cracked skin results from sweat glands of the feet aging and becoming less able to moisturise the skin naturally. That does increase the risk of callus as dry skin is less efficient at dealing with shearing stress from the ground and footwear as it is less supple.

Hard skin or callus occurs over areas of increases stress as a protective mechanism, and in a small amount is not an issue.

Callus if irritating or causing discomfort is usually a sign your foot isn’t working as well as it could be. Exercises, insoles and the correct shoes are essential to resolve the problem long term.

Managing Callus:

• If callus is on forefoot, reduce the heel height of the shoe
• Callus on the toes need more shoe space. Go for a wide toe box
• Callus and corns on the toes can be helped by silicone gel pads
• Use Gehwol Callus Cream to reduce the callus
• Use an insole with arch and metatarsal support, like the NINE to FIVE Everyday for formal shoes
• Use a shoe with a cushioned sole. Trainers are really good
• Consider using an X-line PressurePerfect or HealthyStep Hiking Footbed Extra Cushioning
  for increased activity
• Allow your toes the freedom to move correctly
• Padded TOETOE® Socks such as 3D Terry Walker Socks can be helpful on walking or running
