Getting calluses on your feet? - 02-18-2009, 09:31 PM

anybody have this problem? cause i've been toprocking a lot lately with just socks or barefoot and i've noticed calluses appearing on the "inner knuckles" of my feet
so just wondering if this is normal =/

Uh..Sure. I mean, you're putting pressure on the skin of your feet.

Besides, it's not gonna kill you. If you want to get rid of them, just don't pick it and wear shoes when you toprock.

Calluses are good for you, if anything. They'll strengthen the bottom of your feet.

But that's natural coming from a ballet/modern dancer.

jazz speaks the truth. the weight can really make a difference in your tops/footwork. plus, socks slide around the floor, and shoes don't. if you don't session with shoes on, i suggest you start.

:S I don't know how you guys can toprock in socks, I hate it >_< But then I do everything in shoes, 'cause I never learnt it any other way...but isn't footwork kinda hard in socks? o_o because it's slipperyyyy

I'll get round to thinking up a signature later.

word
but now im getting calluses on my hands, on the inner knuckles, especially on the middle finger knuckle. It's started turning kind of orange. I break on cement and all kinds of surfaces all the time so that's probably why...
