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.

A callus is an area of skin that is tough, thick and hard. It typically affects the soles of the feet or in between the toes. You can show someone a picture of a callus in medical health books.
In terms of tissue layers, the skin is composed of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. It is the dermis that is the thickest layer. The hypodermis is also associated with the skin but is not considered an actual part of the skin. The skin and all its associated hairs, glands, and nerves are called the integumentary system.
There is only one type of skin that wraps your body. The skin on your feet are not different. However, feet usually a callus (or callosity) is an especially toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard in response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation. Rubbing that is too frequent or forceful will cause blisters rather than allow calluses to form. That is usually what protect the soles of your feet.
