Why does the skin harden?
The skin hardens and becomes thicker due to excess pressure and friction from the foot.
How much do some plates cost?

The price of the templates is €170 and can be made in two payments. On the first day, when the podiatrist carries out the template, the first part of the payment is paid (50 % of the total). 

On the day of collection, the remaining part of the payment is made and the template is delivered.
