- I switched to gloves and found that I still get callouses, however
- they are much softer, not the hard, rough callouses that scratch
- other people. If you want to get callouses off quickly (and
- temporarily as noted) cut them off with finger nail clippers.
- One thing about gloves ( this may depend on the brand) is that
- if you do a workout in which you perspire a lot, the glove
- die comes off. Can mark your clothes if you're not careful.
