Feet (Read 834 times)

How on earth does anyone who runs manage to keep their feet looking nice? Is anyone able to share some secrets with me on how to prevent or get rid of calluses and rough spots. My feet aren't the prettiest things around anyhow thanks to bunion surgery back when I was 12...but I'd still like to be able to wear sandals!! Also, is anyone familiar with toe nail fungus? SORRY, probably too much information....but I just wonder if my one toe has a form of it (looks like it to me from what I've seen on the Internet). I was wondering if there are any sprays or lotions out there that anyone has had luck with. Modified to add: As I've been adding more mileage, my feet have been getting worse with caluses. During my long runs I end up with pains from them. http://www.footpaindirect.co.uk/Hard_Skin.htm How about something like that? http://www.healthyfootcare.com/healthy/index.htm Or that? There is probably some simple thing to prevent them or to make them go away but I don't know how. I'm working on figuring it out....The Internet is a wonderful educator and distraction for my work day.

I was wondering how guys would feel about it. I know a guy who does a few different martial arts and his feet are like a baby's, soft, smooth, and perfect. I'm jealous. I don't know how he does it...I bet he uses fancy lotions or something.

I've been putting up with it over these years but more and more I'd like to get rid of it. I thought of it the other day when I went to take off my shoes in front of someone and I stopped, I didn't want them to see my feet. I hate that.

Alright, ladies, let me on a little secret..... Guys don't much give a fig about how nasty you think your feet look. A couple calluses or whatever, yeah, we won't notice. We also don't notice how big/small/round/flat your ass/thighs/tummy/arms are. Know what we notice first and foremost? How naked you are. Yeah. Level of nudity makes a big impact. And not just because you're nekkid. It shows a certain level of confidence to do so, and we respond well to confidence. So unless you're pushing 350, don't sweat this stuff. Fact is, you're a runner. And male runners think female runners are hot, regardless.

...still trying to convince did that a trip to Hedonism would be fun...and on the nude beach, not the prude beach. k

Bad news re toenail fungus. There is a pill you can take to treat, but not any lotions or creams available that will actually work. The downside of the pill available is that the effectiveness isn't that great (I think around 70%) and there's a fairly good chance of kidney damage with this med-- plus you have to take it for a few months.

Not exactly what I'd want to sign up for now is it? Yuck. Human bodies are gross at times. Maybe I'll just wear sneakers all summer long, I kind of like my kidneys. I know what the solution is: I can only hang out with people who run, since they will understand that feet aren't always pretty.

Apparently regular visits to the shop up the street for way overpriced pedicures can fix this problem. I'm still not sure how manicures and facials are related to it. But I'm told they're a necessity, too. I just don't ask.

Guess the athletes foot ??
