Unfortunately, your feet are not fully accustomed to the pressure involved in walking and standing for a long period. While the bones and muscles in your feet have evolved to handle your body’s weight, the skin hasn’t. Soon, if you don’t take the necessary foot care, your feet will develop calluses.
The Effects of Pressure
Calluses are dead skin that becomes a hard, protective surface on your feet. They may develop on other parts of your body but they are usually found on the feet where you put the greatest pressure on. It’s not just pressure that triggers the formation of calluses and corns. The structure of your feet, how you usually walk, and the kind of footwear you use also play a part. Walking barefoot all the may also trigger callus formation. For the most part, calluses may form from other foot problems, such as bunions, hammer, claw, and mallet toes.
