richard, you know my job involves standing at least 7 hours a day in athletic shoes.. and i know you'll laugh at this seconding caseysmom....go get a pedicure and a hot wax/paraffin treatment for your feet. you won't be the first guy there, i promise. the paraffin will help remove more of the dry dead skin, it feels great, and you will get a foot massage as well that will help remove more dead/dry skin. you don't have to use my nail polish color (essies...salsa-a true red) you don't have to do any polish at all. tell the nail tech to teach you how to use a pumice stone after a shower. after the pedicure i swear by burts bees coconut foot cream, thick cotton socks and 3 nights of this in a row. this will help keep alligators in a florida swamp and not roaming ell lay. the burts coconut creme costs ~$8/ 4.3 oz tube and the first tube lasted me using nightly, 6 weeks. my nail tech noticed the between pedicures for me.
