PN and the problem of a callus on sole of foot.

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!

@californiazebra talk about shoes, I almost exclusively wear Crocs. Yes, those “ugly” ones. I have them in solid colors, tie-dye, silver sparkle…they are amazingly comfortable, and have great arch support.
They have hiking Crocs (sport). You can check them out online.

Hi Zebra
I agree with you, “The Toe Bro” video made one queazy. My callus looks similar, but on a smaller scale.
Thank you for your info on shoes. I am going to pursue the Reebok and custom made shoes, but need to spend more time and effort in checking them out. That’s going to be a challenge! The callus is not only my issue. I am flat-footed and have bunions. In the meantime I am going to give the Crocs a try, but buying on line makes me dubious. However, I can return them.
I am well passed the fashion phase!
Will keep you posted.
