I get corns on my feet even when wearing socks, what can i do to prevent this?

Sock it up: Socks have very little or nothing to do with it. Corns are caused from pressure to the toe. Either the shoe is applying too much pressure to the toe from the outside or the bone is pushing outward from the inside. Either way, one must remove or reduce the shoe pressure by changing the shoe fit or style or one must remove the typically enlarged boney surface. You decide. I would try chinging shoes.
