Corns develop in response to repeated mechanical stress. So if the pressure causing the corn is still there, removing the hard skin may only provide temporary relief.

There are several ways to reduce pressure, depending on where the corn is and what's causing it, from changing footwear and professional debridement to temporary padding or targeted off-loading.

In our latest guide, ZeroSole co-founder and practising podiatrist Heather Smart explains different approaches to relieving pressure from a corn, including the difference between cushioning and off-loading.

Having worked as podiatrists in private practice, we know that not everyone has the luxury of having clinic storage space. While our goal is to provide immediate, offloading prescriptions for patients at point of care, keeping a full stock cupboard of insoles isn’t always practical, especially if you run a mobile practice.

To accommodate this, we are trialling a new 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 specifically for private practitioners.

It allows you to recommend our offloading insoles without needing to hold any physical stock. Your patients get the customisable offloading they need delivered directly to them, and you maintain your clinical oversight.

We are looking for a small group of private practitioners to test this new, commission-based system with us and provide feedback. If you would like to help us trial the referral option, please send us a direct message with your professional details, so we can sign you up.

For those who prefer to keep physical stock on hand, nothing is changing. Our standard wholesale ordering remains fully available! 😊

When David and I were studying podiatry at Cardiff Met, we spent a lot of time looking at pressure. Whether it’s a stubborn corn, chronic callus, or metatarsalgia, the root cause is almost always the same: too much load over too small an area.

Traditionally, the options have been a bit polarised. You either use felt padding that flattens after a few days, or you wait an extended period of time for modified/custom orthotics.

We wanted a middle ground, something that offered immediate, clinical-grade offloading (pressure relief) but could be customised on the spot, whether by a practitioner in clinic or by a patient at home.

That’s why we developed ZeroSole.

Instead of a solid block of gel or foam, the underside uses an interlocking grid of silicone hexagonal cells. By cleanly removing the specific hexagons directly beneath a painful area, you create a precise void that instantly shifts the pressure onto healthy tissue. No grinding machines, no glue, and no waiting around.

We’ve put it to the test with independent pressure-mapping at Cardiff Met and UWTSD to ensure it significantly drops pressure at the target site without causing edge-effect swelling.

Whether you’re a professional looking for a practical clinic solution or someone tired of that sharp, "walking on pebbles" sensation, you can read the full development story on our blog.

ZeroSole Foot Health Blogs 👣 🧠 💡
Today's topic: Metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain)

Metatarsalgia can present in many forms. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and can be caused by various conditions. The most common culprits being:

- Capsulitis:
Inflammation of the joint capsule around the metatarsal-phalangeal joint. Usually associated with that "walking on pebbles" sensation.

- Plantar plate injury:
A tear or partial tear in the connective tissue which supports the digits (usually the 2nd toe). Characterised by pain on direct pressure behind the base of the 2nd toe. Can be accompanied by a change in toe position, such as a 'V' sign/splaying of the 2nd and 3rd toes.

- Morton's neuroma:
Inflammation of the digital nerve which runs between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones. Characterised by sharp, shooting pain or numbness/pins & needles which radiates from the ball of the foot, and usually worse in tight, compressive shoes.

- Corns/calluses
Underneath the metatarsal heads. Can be dull or sharp pain depending on location, with a visible hard skin formation.

- Fat pad atrophy:
A reduction in the protective subcutaneous fatty padding that shields the metatarsal heads from impact. Characterised by a dull pain or ache under a broader area across the ball of foot.

What a week at the Global Podiatry Summit in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰🦶
Our first time representing ZeroSole in Denmark, and what an experience it's been! Between the conference sessions and exploring this pristine city for the first time, it's been both productive and thoroughly enjoyable.

The highlight? Meeting so many passionate podiatrists from Denmark, Norway, Germany, Sweden, and even Canada. Hearing about the different approaches to treating pressure-induced foot pain across different healthcare systems has been fascinating, and the reception to ZeroSole's customisable offloading system has been incredible.

We've also been exploring exciting new international trade partnerships to make ZeroSole more accessible to Western-EU podiatrists.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us. The conversations we've had this week have been invaluable, and we're excited about the opportunities ahead.

On the road again yesterday to the Yorkshire Foot Conference! 🦶

Some fantastic conversations at our stand. We loved hearing all of the success you've had using ZeroSole for your patients with plantar corns. It's exactly what we hoped for when we developed ZeroSole!

For those new to us: ZeroSole is a customisable offloading insole for corns, calluses and pressure-induced foot pain. By holding stock in your clinic, you can implement effective offloading and pain relief in less than 5 minutes, so your patients stay comfortable between visits.
