Melissa got me thinking more about foot care for performance when we were all hiking this summer, so I was in the market for a callus file. (I was mostly on Team Callus previously, but the arguments against were pretty solid; basically if they get too thick they can mess with your gait/foot movements, plus if you develop a blister under a thick callus it's way more catastrophic than a normal blister if you still have a bunch of fuckin miles to run that day.)

So I was poking around on amazon, and like… if you're not in the pedicure biz, it's real hard to tell which brands are quality and which are bullshit. But there was one brand in the mix that I DEFINITELY recognized:

...Microplane.

Yes, I bought it, and yes, it is definitely a fucking cheese grater for foot parmesan. It's fantastic. I'll spare you the details.

I am still Team Callus in certain parts of the foot, but as someone who deals with the lifelong after-effects of clubfoot surgery, some calluses need to go away.
