What causes calices on peoples feet, and how do you get rid of them?

Answer 1

They're Calluses, and they're caused by continual usage. Look at a Karate master's hands. They'll have calluses on their knuckles and along the sides of their hands. This is the body's natural defence. If something is being used continually, the body will strenghten the skin and the bones there so it doesn't break or get damaged nearly as easily.

Answer 2

Calluses are thickened skin that forms from pressure or friction (rubbing). They help protect your body from these motions or friction.

Since you walk on your feet they will probably get calluses since they hold your entire body weight. Also, shoes that don't fit well might cause corns on the side of your feet where they rub.

You're probably never going to get rid of them entirely, but wearing good shoes that fit right will help. Also walking on softer surfaces could help. I know people who would walk barefoot all the time in the summer on cement and hard surfaces and they would get very thick calluses. They are the body's way of protecting you from the environment. If you didn't get them you would probably get blisters and bleed all the time instead. If you don't want them then you need to figure out what activity is causing them and stop, but it's probably unlikely that you can stop walking or would want to. But maybe you can wear shoes that are better for your feet and socks that protect your feet better.

People who do activities like playing guitar get them on their fingers where there is a lot of contact with the strings. If they go long enough without doing the activity then they get much softer and eventually mostly disappear. This isn't necessarily good, though, since if they start playing again after a long break, some guitarists I know will get blisters and even bleed until the calluses build up again.
