"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." -Jesse Owens This blog is about the joy of running.

How do you take care of the soles of your feet?
Just wondering if all you asphalt-pounding runners exfoliate the skin on the bottom of your feet. Are your soles calloused like the fingertips of a guitar player, or soft as the palm of a blue-blood who's never done dishes by hand?

I do almost nothing. I figure if a callus is going to build up, it's protective, right?
I DO feel the need to keep my toenails short or I can feel them scratching at the socks.
Calloused except when I get pedicures!
thanks for the tips!
I have horribly rough and calloused feet. I've never thought to exfoliate them, though that sounds like a great idea. Yay for girls and their ideas.
