    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Update: podiatrist shaved down the calluses on both toes. Wow. No more pain! He suggested to still use the gel pad between the toes, which I will do. Went for a 5 K walk yesterday…no issues. Phew. I’m feeling much better about my walk now! Who knew the solution was so simple? Obviously not me!!

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Good to know! My pinky is around a 6, too. So anything less would be a relief. 😀

    Any Advice about how to strengthen my knees for down hills.

    This is all so interesting. Thanks to everyone sharing your experiences. I’m wondering how I will do on the descent to Roncevalles next week and will keep these tips in mind.

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Thank you so much! Will keep this in mind for the route. Interesting that she dug it out - wasn’t your foot painful for walking after that?

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Definitely would leave it for the podiatrist to do that! 😀

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Yes, thank you, understood. I am making an appointment tomorrow (office not open until Monday). Hope to get in Monday afternoon or Tuesday).

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Well…I had thought of that, too. I am bringing some Tevas to wear at night, to give the feet a rest. They possibly might work as relief for part of the day’s walk but I haven’t tried them with any distance. It’s a good thing we are doing luggage transport, lol. Got a lot of extra shoes to haul… 😬

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Thank you, that is helpful to hear from someone who has the same issue. I do have the pads with holes in them. Positioning is tricky - it was what caused more pain yesterday morning. I have a couple of similar gel-type covers, one style with the toe cap cover and one that is more of a sleeve...

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Thank you. Sometimes the “cure” is worse than the problem, that’s for sure!

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    I think I’ll be able to get an appointment before I go. We did our longest walk so far today - 25/26 km. This morning my toes were painful. When we came home for lunch after 10k I started this thread. But before we went out for the afternoon, I had a long think and adjusted some things. I took...

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    I have one on the outside of the big toe and the other on the pinky of the same foot, between the toes. In looking online it looks like o should be able to see a podiatrist next week. Postponing isn’t really really an option. Everything is booked.

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    Ah. Yes. I am going to try on Monday to see if I can get an appointment sometime during the week but as we leave next Sunday it might not be possible.

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    We are leaving to do the whole Camino Frances in a week. I have two corns on my right foot that are becoming very painful - I have had them for years with little issue but over the last month with doing training they are flaring up. I bought some Altra Lone Peaks which helped, I think, but still...
