First, if the skin is very thick, try first using an item on the market (you can find them at Walgreens) called the "Ped Egg". That will "shave" off some of the thickness and get you back to nearly normal feel again. Then go a local beauty supply store and ask for a product called "Pretty Hands and Feet". You're wondering how as a man--and a straight one at that--that I know this? I worked with strong industrial chemicals most of my life and the skin on my hands got to be very dry, scaly and thick from that. I was told about this product by a girlfriend--and tried it. It worked magic!!! You pour a dab of it into your hand, rub it over the area you want treated--slowly at fist but then you began to run as briskly and hard as you can and the product begins to roll off dead layers of skin---a bit at a time. Over a few applications---you'll notice a HUGE difference. Follow with a moisturizer
But the problem won't be fixed---only treated. The main cause if thick skin and callouses on feet is poor shoes--and the wrong kind of socks. Find more comfortable shoes so there is less friction on the feet of your skin and it won't thicken or callous anymore. Skin thickening and callouses are caused by repeated rubbing against those surfaces. It's nature's way of protecting your feet from that kind of abuse. Always wear cotton socks---white is best---the kind with padded bottoms. Change them often--and keep moisturizer on your feet at all times. It will take some time to fix this---but you'll notice a difference right away. Trust me.

What parts of the body have thick skin?
For all the reasons that relate to what the skin does: it communicates, it exchanges, it senses, it protects. So, depending on the part of the body, we can predict how thick the skin might be ... at least in comparison with other parts. For example, there are more layers of skin on the soles and palms, since these come into contact with surfaces that might tear, or puncture, or erode them. But that is just taking into account the upper layer ... the epidermis. Skin has a second layer---the dermis---under the first. The dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, roots of hairs, and a lot of connective tissues with collagen and elastic fibers. These all have jobs to do, too, and so whenever that job is better done with a thin layer or a thick layer, that is what you will see on those parts of the body.
