I am podiatrist, and I treat ALOT of runners. Nobody should use corn remover pads on their corns. These are pure acid, create foot ulcers, and these "corns" may actually be hammertoes, and the protruding thingy they feel is actually their bone.

However, I wanted to let you know that I am always inspired to get back on the road running when I come to your site. Let me give you a little background- I jogged a half-marathon in 2006, but have cut back substantially since then (I've had two reconstructed knees due to torn ACLs, and one just isn't quite right).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-79288086592123873932008-08-11T03:16:00.000-04:002008-08-11T03:16:00.000-04:00I tried that Tweezerman callous shaver thingie and...I tried that Tweezerman callous shaver thingie and I am in love!

A shoe guy told me once that the rubber/elastomer in running shoes is terribly susceptible to breakdown, so that shoes more than 6 months old will break down even more quickly.<BR/><BR/>Also, about the callouses... can't I just keep 'em?

Plus I need a very stable shoe, which means mine tend to be on the wider side. I envy those people who can wear their running/athletic shoes around town (w/ regular clothes) and have it look like their shoes are part of the outfit, and not look like they've attached giant flippers to their feet. <BR/><BR/>The Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011127145903623536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-88078256341685082472008-08-03T19:40:00.000-04:002008-08-03T19:40:00.000-04:00I am a longtime user of the WrightSocks, and they ...I am a longtime user of the WrightSocks, and they are the best socks I have ever run in.
