I'd honestly rather stick to a foot file, some exfoliation, a pumice stone, or even just lemon juice, as long as I'm doing it regularly. plus, if you're on your feet all day, you really need some decent, cushioned shoes.

Exactly, it's for those calluses... mine really acts up on the side of my pinky toe...
It doesn't bother me much during my normal routine, but when I'm playing tennis, it's absolutely killing me... sliding around on the hardcourt and playing several times a week just makes it sting like hell... I went to see a podiatrist and saw him just hacking away at it with a blade, and man, when I put my tennis shoes back on, it felt better than sex... then later I tried doing it myself with a sharp knife and realized that actually helps quite a bit too... so now I've decided I'm just gonna go ahead and buy one of those professional surgical blades

It doesn't bother me during my normal routine, but when I'm out playing tennis, it’s absolute torture... sliding around on the hardcourt and playing several times a week makes it sting like crazy... I went to see a podiatrist and saw him just hacking away at it with a blade, and honestly, once I put my sneakers back on, it felt better than sex... then I tried doing it myself with a sharp knife and realized that actually helps quite a bit too... so now I've finally decided to just go out and buy one of those professional surgical blades...

It doesn't bother me much during my normal routine, but when I'm playing tennis, it absolutely kills me... sliding around on the court dust and playing several times a week makes it sting like crazy... I went to a professional podiatrist and saw that they just slice it right off with a tool, and honestly, once I put my sneakers back on, it feels better than sex... so then I tried doing it myself with a sharp blade and realized that actually helps quite a bit too... now I've finally decided to just go out and buy one of those professional surgical blades...

thanks, I'll give that a shot... if anyone else knows of any other spots, please let me know...

Does anyone happen to know where I can pick one of these up? It looks pretty similar to those cheese knives you see at Bed Bath & Beyond, and I'm thinking it might have those replaceable blades inside...
