Question 1

how can you remove calluses from feet permanently?

Accepted Answer

Callus: Usually calluses are formed due to increased pressure.  To get rid of them may involve orthotics, change in shoegear, or even potentially surgery.  You can make them less painful with the use of moisturizers after getting your feet wet to the dry/callused areas.  Or use of a pumice stone daily after getting your feet wet as well.  I would not advise you take a razor to your feet!

Hammertoes: Corns and calluses are a result of contracture of the toes, and plantarflexing of the metatarsals. Hammertoes are a common problem that can result in corns over the joints. Calluses on the plantar aspect of the foot result from the metatarsal bones dropping, and the tendons contracting. Debriding the corns and calluses is only temporary. An orthtoic, changing shoe gear, and sugical correction.

calluses on heels of feet how do you remove them?

Moisturize..: Moisture your heels with lotion daily. Lotions with at least 20% urea will penetrate thicker skin. Also, you can check out heel sleeves that provide help with keeping moisture locked in when used with moisturizers. You could wear them at night. Medical pedicures may benefit you by having a professional remove the calluses for you. Wearing sandals and open-backed shoes also play a role...
