Why does the skin of feet get hard and thick over time?

Why does the skin of feet get hard and thick over time?

The skin on a person's feet naturally becomes hard due to repeated friction, walking barefoot or improper footwear, said cosmetologist Sherin Bhan. "When pressure increases, especially below the toes, the skin responds by forming a protective layer," she added. Excessively thick or painful skin can point to foot deformities, uneven walking patterns or even diabetes, and shouldn't be ignored.
