Hindfoot callosities – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/407513390

Callosities of the heel and ankle area resulting typically from structural deformities of the foot or abnormalities of gait. They may also result from ill-fitting footwear. A distinct and common form is due to sitting back onto the feet from a kneeling position, thereby exposing the skin overlying the talus to repeated pressure and friction (talar callosity).
