What to do to avoid calluses: 5 effective rules

06.07.2024 20:00

It's hard to stay in a good mood when your shoes are rubbing.

In summer, this problem is especially relevant – after all, at this time of year you have to wear open shoes with thin straps and new fashionable models that have not yet had time to adapt to the shape of the foot.

If your shoes rub your feet while you walk, calluses will cause discomfort with every step. In addition, calluses can cause inflammation, as microbes can penetrate the wound.

Therefore, if you do not want to allow calluses to form, you should follow simple rules.

Prevention of calluses

1. Break in new shoes while you're still at home. For example, you can break in leather shoes by wearing them over a thick, wet sock and walking around the house for a bit.

2. Buy a special shoe stretcher spray that will help your new shoes fit better on your feet.

3. If your shoes are too tight on your foot, buy some gel strips from a drugstore and stick them on the inside of your shoes to reduce friction.

4. Use a special callus pencil before going for a walk, applying it to areas prone to friction.

5. If your feet sweat a lot in hot weather, use foot powder to prevent blisters.
