I would also have you consider the footwear you use. I went to an orthopeadic surgeon because I just couldn't get comfortable in any of my shoes for extended periods of time and he recommended I get (in my case) neutral arch support shoes at one of those special shoe places. I wound up trying on a pair of Natural Balance sneakers with a neutral arch support and when my feet went into the shoe , it felt like they sighed and said they went to heaven. Since I had gone thru my teen years mostly barefoot, my foot had widened to a EEE width and one foot was a 7 1/2 and the other was an eight. All of which made me realize the majority of shoe stores sell B width shoes so over the years my calouses developed on the sides of my feet and began hurting when I had to wear the narrower width and because I always thought both feet were 7 1/2 size. Also the neutral arch support made a huge difference for me. I now get a size 8 to accommodate the bigger foot. Don't know if this may also play into

TY, but I cannot wear arches, they hurt my feet even worse.

But yes, heard a lot of people would need to look at arches to help them! Great advice!!! TY!!!

You might also look into Chlorine dioxide and see if that might also be a consideration for your issue.

Ok, not heard of this before, I will look into it! TY!!!

I soak my feet in hydrogen peroxide. Any hardened skin sloughs off easily and my feet are soft like a teenager again.

TY!!! Have several things to also try now! TY everyone!!!

Have you tried soaking in epsom salts and baking soda water? They draw out toxins, maybe that too.

I will give it a go and try! TY for the suggestion!!!💛

Ok, for those that needed to see it... Gross as it is...

For foot pain soak feet for at least 20 minutes in any combination of epsom salts, borax, baking soda, sea salt. About a cup total in a basin you feet fit in. Do this as needed, or do it regularly like once or twice a week.

It also helps to rub them yourself over all the sore areas and pinch each toe. Releases trapped chemicals.

Get a real pumice stone and after soaking scrub with the stone. You can use sand paper too but don't wet it. The stone you can wet it. Kerasol is good with softening the feet.
