    Well In my opinion its good to have some callus' . that keeps you from getting blisters, but if it is on the direct bottom of your foot I could see how that could be a problem.

    I would say to file it off with a pummus or foot file and then soak your feet, and then put TONS of lotion on them and then socks. sleep like that for a few days and it should be healed.

    Treat yourself to a pedicure. Tell them to man-handle your calluses!!

    After decades of running I've found it is best to be really nice to your feet. They get ignored compared to hands but take on a far far greater burden. So I recommend spending a couple of minutes after a bath or shower filing toe nails (a couple of quick swipes daily should do it) and working on calluses with a callus file or pumice. I'd like to say try different shoes, but I have and I still get the calluses in the same spots.
