A patent was just granted for this:
PRODUCT FOR TREATMENT OF CORNS AND CALLOUS SKIN ON FEET

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.

A therapeutic shoe for treatment of hardened skin comprising: a. an outer shell comprising a water-resistant material, wherein the outer shell comprises an upper portion and a sole portion that impacts the ground when worn, wherein the upper portion covers the top and sides of a person's foot, and wherein the upper portion and the sole portion are seamlessly connected; b. an opening at the top of the outer shell, wherein the opening is adapted for insertion and removal of the person's foot; c. a fastener capable of securely closing the opening at the top of the outer shell sufficiently to secure the person's foot after the person's foot is inserted into the shoe; and d. an inner sole comprising a top layer that makes contact with the bottom of the person's foot, wherein the top layer comprises an absorbent material that holds water at a higher concentration than the concentration of water in the person's foot and is sufficiently absorbent such that water placed on a portion of the inner sole will not spread to the remaining areas of the inner sole in any appreciable amount, and a bottom layer comprising a waterproof material; wherein when a sufficient amount of water is added to the inner sole and the shoe is worn by the person the water enters the skin on the bottom of the person's foot by osmosis.
