Anyone got callus on your feet? I got like 3 callus on my right foot and i am pretty sure they are caused by my skates. How can i get rid of them? They are not hurting or anything. But its really ugly especially when wearing thongs or heels. They are also like a little bit darker then my normal skin colour. I reckon becos of the pigmentation caused by too much fiction?
Here's my question, what can i do about them?

Yeah, skating can be hard on your feet. If what you describe are, indeed, calluses, then I recommend finding a good pedicurist in your area and signing on for regular pampering. When I was skating three or four days a week, I found that a pedicure every three weeks was what it took to keep my feet looking and feeling good.

... or they can be bone growths. Then there's not much you can do except use bunga or silipo pads to prevent more from forming.

I have callouses on my feet, but not from skating boots. I find that a pedicure every 2 weeks helps a lot to keep my feet looking and feeling better.

I have loads of them, but make sure I keep them in check, nothing to do with skating though, just horrible feet.

Bunga or the slipco ankle things either will help but it's just like playing the guitar you will build calluses its a part of the sport. You can get little gel things for your toes, I actually use a catalog called Medco and they have cheap little gel disc that cut and then use tape (athletic/foot/paper) to keep them on. That worked for me just a note Band-aids, not gonna help, but if they don't hurt don't worry and maybe you should get a heat moldable boot when you need a new pair.8O
