   I have the same problem. I don’t wear shoes that are too tight. As a matter of fact, since I started getting this problem, I have gotten a pair or two that are a bit bigger than I normally wear and it isn’t helping.

   I went to a podiatrist and she told me that the friction causing the corns is happening because of the way I walk. The corns on my feet are between the last two toes, the same on both feet. The Doctor told me that I walk on the outsides of my feet and this is causing friction between those two toes. I am trying to train myself to walk with my weight more on the inside of my foot and my big toes. And she is making me a custom-made insert for my shoes. It sounds like a lot of trouble for corns, but they are painful, sometimes I am limping by the end of the day. I have had the corns for more than a year now.

   The Podiatrist also gave me a prescription cream and told me to keep the corns soft with the cream and with warm water soaks. The more they build up and dry out, the worse they are. She also told me not to use over the counter salicylic acid corn medications, that they can make it worse and they don’t solve the cause the of the friction.

   I don’t understand why I got them about a year ago, when I wasn’t doing anything different than I have been doing all my life and she couldn’t explain that.

   By the way, lambs wool is the best stuff to pad your corns with. But don’t wrap it tight or it will hurt worse.

   I hope this gives you some info to work with, at least. I know what you’re going through.
