Skin hardenings at the bottom of my feet. painful and because of safety boots?

Probably not: If you are on your feet much of the day, particularly doing heavy labor, skin hardening of feet is not unusual. You should use thick insoles, and use a skin lubricator like "bag balm" on insoles twice per day
