If they are proper corns then bazuka gel.
When I'm breaking in my Velcro's I often put a strip of finger tape across the knuckles of my toes to stop the blisters forming too fast..

Any tips for getting rid of them (the corns not the shoes)
Hey Shark, can we rename this thread to a general foot troubles thread? E.g. 'Feet' or some other corny (!!) pun on that etc.. as I was thinking of posting up about foot issues...
Any other foot care tricks for the summer months?
I wear no socks in winter

Heeling for the Sole?

I have noticed that my toe knuckles have corns though I have probably had them for some time. It makes toe hooking painful/impossible.I gather that the toe shape of five tens can cause this and some have changed brand as a result. Any tips for getting rid of them (the corns not the shoes)
Ah foot problems. Been the bane of my life for the last 5 months, and probably will be for the next 5 too. Fell down a dirty great gulley in Red Rocks in January, and was lucky to get away with just a busted foot. Que 127 minutes/avoiding the touch style 5hr crawl back to the car and 4 day drive back up to canada (was at the end of my ESTA visa time, so had to get out of the states). Went to a doc in Canada who told me it wasn't broken, just soft tissue damage. The thing was about as swollen as it could get. Had a deformed, black sausage on the end of my leg for ages. Spent 2 months in Squamish crutching around and resting it, then went to physio for 2 months when I got back to Ireland. Improvement was dramatic. After a lot of rehab, the tendons seem to have healed up reasonably well, and I can almost walk normally again. Then I get a job in Dublin and don't go to a physio for about a month. Everything seems fine, til it isn't. Sharp stabbing pains start in the back of my heel. I figure its just the achilles tendon acting up after not having had much use for almost half a year (where does the time go? ). So go to another physio. The soft tissues are all fine apparently, which means it must be joint/bone related. Giant biscuits of arse. I now have to wait a month to see a consultant so he can financially rape me, and figure out once and for all whats going on. Worst, and most lingering injury I've ever had. Had plans for another wall climbing trip in the autumn, but it looks like this year could be a complete write off from a climbing perspective.
Wasn't there - tangentially - a woman implicated in this incident? It's always good to have multiple targets for blame.
Paul, don't stop doing the physio./soft-tissue stuff / rehab. It has helped and things got worse when you stopped it by my reading. Even if there is significant joint damage you'll need to carry on doing it. Can you see the first physio. again?
The cream sounds a bit unintuitive at first but very dry fungus ridden skin can be prone to cracking - perhaps a creamy substance applied after the foot is clean and dried could help prevent that? (Wild-Ass-Guessing)
