You Prevent Getting Corns. During your lifetime you will walk, run, dance, hop, skip and jump the equivalent of four times around the earth - all on the same two feet.
Corns are a common example of avoidable foot pain.
Soft corns grow between the toes in response to moisture and the friction of one toe rubbing against another. The small toes are especially prone to corns. Shoes don't cause corns, but they do aggravate them. Arthritis, trauma, bunions and heredity can create structural changes in foot bones and cause hard knobs to form around toe joints. These enlarged or abnormally shaped bones rub against the shoes, too narrow, too shallow or too flimsy for the human foot.
