I appreciate the recommendation of this video. I will make this as short as possible. I noticed a cut on the tip of my big toe, it appeared to heal before attaching and it had a snake tongue look (don’t know how to explain). I realized that it was a good bit of extra skin and would soak, use a pumice and onto healing. But my other toes would get thicker at the tips and I feel it’s definitely the shoes. My callus under my foot is what scared me the most. When I started paying attention to my feet and realized that it was a callus, I used the Dr. Scholls callus remover and it basically made a dime sized hole in my foot. My dad had a toe amputated due to being diabetic and had an ulcer. Rushed to the doctor and had my bloodwork confirmed that I am not diabetic, but I’m not comfortable using that product again. During the summer I wear Birkenstock tongs, but in winter I use sneakers. Horrible balance and never been a fan of any heels. Living in south Louisiana, I chose to wear anything that is more open due to the heat (I also absolutely HATE my feet being wet and enclosed, so the sweating is disgusting). But until I can get my feet in a better shape (cosmetics), I won’t wear open shoes. But lots of the information is true on my case regarding my poorly fitted shoes and I have noticed that I am constantly putting the pressure on the metatarsal part of my foot. But the fact that the callus remover left that hole is the reason I am so worried about my feet health.
Glad you like the video! A lot of what you are saying is very common in people who develop callouses on their feet. I definitely think trying out some of the tips in the video would be a great place to start!
Vivobarefoots will not prevent corns from forming. I’m a mail carrier and wear these shoes all day and I still get corns and callouses from time to time in the same place next to the ball of my foot.
Totally agree that just doing one thing different won't completely get rid of corns or prevent them from forming. Corns have more to do with our movement patterns and the way we repetitively load different areas of our feet. Just pointing out that wearing Vivos can help with foot mobility and potentially remove some areas that your feet might rub against shoes due to limited space in the shoe.
I have found using toe socks to be very helpful as a preventative tool for this issue.
Thank you for this great recommendation!

I have corns on the bottom of my foot. The doctor scraped them and now they itch. Is this normal?
Can be with the new skin getting used to being exposed!
@@docjenfit oh ok thank you. What can I put on it to stop the itch. I already use the Urea cream.
