Could it be your gait or shoe fitting causing more rubbing on your right foot?Because members of this forum are knowledgeable about many things

Anecdotally, it does actually sometimes seem that foot conditions are more prevalent on the right side. From dry skin to neuropathy - both appear more common, or worse, in the right foot. I have no idea if this is plausible, but the body is very far from straightforward, so nothing would surprise me.
When I had numbness (neuropathy) it was the right side only. The R-ALA fixed that.
So, that's one score for the right side theory.
I'm the opposite, left foot is always worse, but I always just put it down to being left side dominant, even though I'm right handed, and I know I don't stand square unless I think about it
Wow I didn't expect so many replies I shall go and measure my legs and try to lead with my left foot !

Another right-handed one here who starts with, and stands primarily on, her very calloused, cloven right foot. It's a thing.Wow I didn't expect so many replies I shall go and measure my legs and try to lead with my left foot !

This is what I thought! I am right side dominant and suffer from dry hands and feet mainly on the right side (with a slight numbness in sensation on the feet, nurse doesnt think there is damage there though), my muscles on my right leg are also weaker (collapsed arch - when doing the strengthening exercises I notice it). But I took that to be wear and tear because of the right dominance... (plus I have an old knee injury on that side, so I am sure that factors in somewhere...).
I have hard skin under my right foot, which is sadly getting worse... But I also have more of a collapsed arch here, so my foot may be moving in such a way when I walk that the skin is rubbed (is it called pronating?). Are your arches all normal? When you stand do you do the penguin feet or do the toes point out straight? My physio noted straight away that my right foot points outward when I stand. Maybe I am part penguin?
I think I might be safer to stretch the shorter leg !Just remember, measure twice, cut once!
