On the big toe of my right foot I have a realy horrible callus which has been there for years. I truly want to get rid of it as it puts me off wearing open-toed shoes (yeah, I'm a girl) and looks gross with bare feet. I've tried filing it and moisturising it but it seems to make no difference. My shoes aren't too tight and like I say, it's been there for years, through lots of different shoes.
Please, any suggestions? It's horrible :( (I hide it)
Lye
Not really
I hate to break it to you....YOU'RE A RUNNER. I've only met a handful of runners whose feet don't look completely revolting. My best advice is keep doing what you're doing, although I should suggest using a pumice stone for the "filing". But you kind of need those calluses when you run, so file 'em down once a week, or once every two weeks.
My feet are pretty nasty and I still wear sandals when I want to, it may not be the answer you want to hear but you may just have to deal with it.
