I think this is all great advice! I have suffered from dry heels for YEARS! It really is a constant battle that I am not always on the winning side of. I too was stricken with plantar fasciitis and purchased Birkenstocks as a means to treat it and it worked!! The only downside is that I do find my heels are more dry when wearing open shoes, which my Birkenstocks are. Consistency is key and that is something I need to work on. Keep up the goo work!

I believe cracked heel is a matter of poor foot care
Since my mom had cracked heels for a long time. I spent days to find a good cream for her.
The problem is that everyone says mine is the best.
therefor we had to test many of them

Great timely information. My heels and the bone below my big toe always get so dry and cracked. My husband’s feet are worse and will bleed. I bought an off brand file device like the Amope a few years ago thinking it would work as well. Don’t waste your money. It does not have the power to remove anything and if you put a little extra pressure on it, the round file just falls off. So I’m glad to hear that the Amope works for the extra money. I use a paddle file which works just as you said, smooths out the dead skin but not the cracks. I really like the PediEgg that has been on the market for years. It works well on deep calluses and has never filed deep enough to injure my feet. After using the Egg, I use the paddle file to smooth it out nicely, then use an old tube of Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream and put on the little soft slipper socks and wear that to bed. It works amazing. I’ve used Vaseline before and it works pretty well, but the Mary Kay (use an old tube) can be expensive for your feet. However, if they are cracked and sore enough, we’d try most anything that works. Thanks for your great tips, Kelly. I’m going to watch for the O’Keeffe’s Foot Cream now too, for both my husband and I. Great tips ladies!
