This is one of my favorite accessories for my feet. It works amazingly. It has a grating side (kind of like a cheese grater) that you scrub on all the dry and cracked areas (be careful) then to make it all smooth after I take the file side and scrub. Really helps a lot. After I generally take lotion to my feet, sometimes even put on socks over night to make them soft. It's a great idea.

I have the added disadvantage of living in a dry climate so to keep my feet moisturized and keep them from cracking I have to use what ever my solution everyday. This heel therapy has been pretty great. It's in a stick formula so it's easy to put on and heals very well. Again, I do have to use it everyday but it's not a hassle to apply it. My husband even uses it now and his feet are a thousand times worse than mine but this seems to really help him out.

I use a pumice stone in the shower every morning and it helps relieve the dry cracked skin as well as prevent newer lesions (for lack of a better word). My whole family swears by them. I also run around barefoot a lot, even in the winter so it's really the only that helps since I don't wear socks long enough for the lotions or creams. This is really easy, lasts forever, and doest cost very much. It's a great idea.

This foot cream really helps relieve dry, cracked feet and heels. I'm a big fan of walking about barefoot, especially outside, so my feet are constantly dry and cracked, especially in the heel area. It smells really good, kind of pepperminty and makes my feet really soft. I've heard that if you wear it overnight with a sock or something on it makes your feet extra soft but I always forget to try it. I think you can do the same thing with your hands when they need treatment. Cheaper than a spa and I think more effective.

I thought this looked funny but I saw it popping up everywhere! It actually works fantastic, a little gross but at least it works. But also try simple using a palmy stone. Good luck!

You definitely have to remove some dead skin cells before any lotion will heal it, so this will help scrape off some of the skin and its cool because the dead skin falls inside the egg so you can empty it when done. Prevents a mess. It really softened my feet, I do it with dry or damp feet out of the shower. It works great.

Flexitol Heel Balm

I have a huge problem with cracked feet because I am always wearing sandals. I found this at the local beauty store and it has worked wonders on my feet. It has a consistency similar to Vaseline, it does say apply twice a day, sometimes I would skip a day or so, but after a few months of varied use my feed were crack free. It does say your feet can be crack free in a couple days, I do believe this, it just takes applying it religiously, also remember it does take time for your feet to heal. It doesn't have a strong smell, and it is really simple to use, and it's also cheap. I do suggest putting on a pair of socks after you put it on. Also try wearing socks around the house more often, I feel as if it protects all the moisture in my heels and makes them get cracked less.

I tired this one too, I have bought it several times now, I have no reason to look any further. I am not sure if I am applying too much but I run off the concept, "the more the better" and so I find my feet are a bit sticky after so I agree with Cindy it's best to put socks on after applying, the best time for me is before I go to sleep. But this is a great buy and it is easy to find.

I've tried everything I could find to resolve this problem. This is the first product I have found that works. I don't have to use it every day. It has a pleasant fragrance and the "deodorant-like" packaging makes it super easy to use.
