chiropodists
Treat feet professionally
Chiropodists are practitioners who treat ailments of the feet and lower limbs—corns, bunions, ingrown toenails, and similar conditions.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say podiatrists.
The chiropodist trimmed the calluses and recommended better-fitting shoes.
