Foot lotion - just something my mother in law bought me for Christmas in a happy feet kit (after I trashed my toenails in a marathon Thanksgiving weekend ) that I happened to have around... though I think I have some nice stuff that I bought earlier that I need to dig up. The stuff she got me is something called Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Balm, with Aloe Vera and Chamomile. It does take a few days to work in, but if I am consistent with it (and occasionally having to dig out the file to file the callouses), it softens them nicely and they stay happy.

I have lost the second toenail a couple times - both mine have grown back so thick and weirdly shaped now that they will be hard to lose, but even in the right sized shoes I had trouble. Even now sometimes in the Five Fingers I clearly rub on the top of my second toe on my left foot and have blisters or tough skin there.
