We could be twins! My problems with the callus are just like yours. The pedicurist for the most part uses a pumice stone. I, too, have chemical reactions.
I am going to check out the possibility of having special shoes made to order. I know they could be costly. Did you have your shoes specially made or did you purchase them from a retailer?
I felt “The Toe Bro” spent more time on removing the callus than my podiatrist. He seemed to go really deep into the callus.
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

Hi @kim2

I just tried to check out "The Toe Bro" and my stomach was just flipping at the pictures. My calluses don't look like that, just hurt. Not sure those videos will work for me. I didn't even last long enough to open the video. LOL

As for shoes, no I haven't had any custom made. It would be worth the money if I knew for sure they would work with all my issues. The ones I found that don't stop calluses, but solved so many other issues are Reebok walking shoes that are like those "ShapeUps" shoes. They are not flat on the bottom. They have extra cushioning that feels sooo good, but might not work for you. I also bought some loafers at a store called SAS (ortho shoe store) that felt as good as tennis shoes, but then I brought two other pairs of shoes there that hurt my feet including tennis shoes. They weren't cheap. Such a waste.

Notice that neither of these styles are good if you want to dress up. I cannot wear any shoe that would have to go with a dress so forever pants it is. Even with pants, the best I can do is a cute tennis shoe like Sketchers for a short outing. You won't see me on the cover of Vogue anytime soon. I know people roll their eyes at my shoes, but I love take long walks and I do not want to be in constant pain. The wrong shoe can leave me in pain for months.

Best of luck in finding your perfect shoe!
