I can imagine that Wally being Wally would prevent him from being a mess of wind-burn and calluses, due to both the aura and the healing factor, so I've always imagined him as somewhere between a casual jogger and a marathon runner when it comes to his feet; and yes, I have considered what they would be like kinda a lot. Because I am a huge dork. And running a lot isn't necessary to have problems with calluses; I'm no runner and I have actually bled from cracking that happens when I don't have access to a pumice stone for enough time. So I may be a bit biased, but still, runners always have weird foot troubles that tend to build on each other now and then...
So basically, yeah, you're totally right about it being all in his head. It's not actually that serious and he's just a tad too vain for his own good, which I think counts as psychological drama. XD
