Have you ever noticed patches of thickened skin forming on your toes and feet? These patches can be really painful, but mainly, they are harmless.
The medical name for these patches is corns and calluses, and they are usually a result of shoes that are too tight, too loose, or high-heeled. Also, they often appear when wearing second-hand shoes.
Used shoes can easily create toe issues, since they’ve already been shaped to someone else’s foot. Over time, the form of the shoe is altered and pressure points and seams are created, which are not aligned with your own toes. Consequently, this may cause new problems, including friction and pressure where the shoe rubs and the toes are constantly compressed.
