If the shoes are too loose, then the feet rub against the shoe. The foot may rub against a poorly placed seam or stitch inside the shoe. * Skipping socks- Wearing shoes or sandals without socks can be a problem. Socks should fit properly. * Using hand tools- The use of tools with your hands can also cause calluses on them. " The skin over a bony prominence may develop this cone-shaped structure. The base of the corn is at the surface, but the apex extends deep into the epidermis and pressure on the corn can be quite painful.
