Carnation Corn Pads 9 Corns are caused by repeated friction & pressure on the skin, usually due to poorly fitting shoes & hosiery. The skin becomes thicker to protect itself from the friction; eventually it forms a corn, which can be uncomfortable & painful. Carnation Corn Pads have all the traditional benefits of felt with the extra rebound properties of foam. Carnation Corn Pads have double layer action for extra comfort. Carnation Corn Pads are made from Foam-O-Felt which has a layer of foam to absorb impacts & a layer of wool felt which spreads the pressure of the shoe more evenly across the toe to ease pain & give maximum comfort. Carnation Corn pads are oval shaped so ideal for corns on the top joints of medium & large toes.
