People prone to Calluses
- Elderly people – because ageing skin loses elasticity and fatty tissue.
- People who spend a lot of time standing up – because of the continuous weight-bearing pressure on their feet.
- People with feet that roll inwards (flat feet) – flat feet places excessive pressure on the ball of the foot beneath the big toe, and the inside of the heel.
- A person with foot complaints (such as a hammer toe, bunions or arthritis) – because a bony prominence can rub against the shoe or neighbouring toes.
- People who regularly wear shoes that are narrow, tight, ill-fitting or high-heeled i.e. women.
