Abstract: A novel product for the treatment of corns and callous skin on feet is disclosed herein. The product may be a therapeutic shoe adapted that enables softening of hardened skin on the bottom of a person's foot by adding a small amount of water before the person wears the shoe. The shoe may comprise an outer shell and an inner sole, wherein the inner sole makes contact with the bottom of the person's foot when worn and may comprise an absorbent material that retains water at a higher water concentration than that of the human body, facilitating osmosis and the softening of any hardened skin on the person's foot that may subsequently be removed by non-rigorous buffing.
