When we had the Spotlight meeting, the podiatrist told us all how important it was to always wear shoes and that we should use moisturiser on our feet to keep the skin from getting hard, etc. etc. After Spotlight, I went out and my indoor shoe collection doubled with more slippers and flip flops, because I am not a wear shoes in the house kind of girl...in fact, as much as I love LOOKING at shoes and buying shoes, I don't actually like wearing them. Before I moved to the UK I used to wear sandals year-round, and if it snowed I'd trade them in for wool clogs. My feet have always had thick soles due to all the walking around barefoot I did (and what's this about no longer walking on sand?! The best part about going to the beach AND it naturally exfoliates, but I digress).
Since the podiatrist said to use lotion on my feet, I did. Last night (Tues) I noticed the thick skin on the ball of my foot was starting to split, so I used a liberal application of Soap and Glory's Heel Genius on my feet. Today, (Wed), the balls of my feet and heels have been smooth, but when I stand still I get a burning sensation where the hard skin used to be.
Any ideas on how to combat this? Is that normal? I've got my referral in to get in with the podiatrist, but I have chorus tomorrow night which involves standing for 3 and a half hours! It was bad enough today walking around London. I finally wound up putting on an extra pair of socks on to have a cushion.
