: I can tell you of several. Going back to the sixties, Freezone corn pads had one where a good looking lady came hobbling into her bedroom from a party she was hosting, pulled off her shoe and started rubbing her foot. The voiceover said her corns were killing her. Another had three women walking together, and they all sat down and pulled off their high heeled shoes and began rubbing their feet. They were each suffering from a different problem: one, corns. Another, bunions, and the third from callouses. An ad for Remington shavers had a lady in terrific stilettos sitting down, pulling off her shoe as the unseen man in the ad says to her, "Feet hurt?" Yes, she says she's been shopping and can't find just the right gift. "How about a Remington razor?" etc. Great ad. Finally, I remember one where a lady is sitting with a room full of shoes, but the narrator says, "But they all hurt your feet." I think she, too, was suffering from corns.
