Not sure how closely corns and bunions are in the podiatrical family, but my wife had a bunion on each foot surgically removed years ago when she was still in her 20s. After going through weeks of excruciating healing on crutches, she swore off high-heels and compressed-toe shoes forever - which is what the surgeon told her had caused them.

QS, I need you healthy and mobile for our Whitney summit this summer - quit hiking in those stiletto heels and the corns might go away! Just sayin' . . . . .
