Cracked heels!

[Maxine1974]

Flexitol heel balm off amazon. I didn’t believe a cream would sort my crusty trotters but it’s amazing!!! Bit of a foot file first then every night before bed! Try it x

A Newton’s chiropody sponge (green box). A few quid on Amazon or from your local pharmacy. It isn’t spongy at all, it’s a grey, brittle thing that weighs barely anything and looks like lava rock. It works like an absolute charm on crusty feet, just use it according to the instructions (wet skin and soap up the wet sponge before scrubbing the wet skin). A couple of mins on each area every night and your skin will be fab. I don’t rate those skin peeling socks you can buy, I find that they leave my feet too soft and make my shoes rub.

Newton’s Sponge.. you will never go back. Get it wet under the tap and rub some soap over it. Your feet will be so smooth.

I bought some of these after this thread. Omg! Amazing.

Give them a file over with a foot file and use Flexitol twice a day . It's amazing . You can buy it anywhere. Drs prescribe this for diabetics..it's incredible stuff.

I second flexitol, I've had bleeding cracked heels and within days theres a massive improvement. Got it on offer at Boots.

I would seriously recommend a foot peeling mask. Works wonders, take a week or 2 but worth it. (Buy from amazon)

NYK1 foot file from amazon, thank me later

 

[Suzesnooze]

Had a look on Amazon and product pages all say "currently unavailable" for me!

Just checked, yes the ones I ordered are now out of stock. I was obviously lucky as only ordered last night.

Hopefully they’ll come back into stock soon

Soap and Glory Heel Genius is really good!

I have very dry feet and use to have cracked heels. I use any oil or body lotion on my feet. Once applied i wear socks to keep the moisturiser in. Since lockdown, I've been doing this morning and night. Works a treat.

I’m a fan of the sponges but have only got the dregs of one left and so bought the NYK1 file instead. It was quite expensive at about £14 but it really works. Get one of those bad boys if you can’t get the chiropody sponge. Just be very gentle, you don’t need to apply pressure with it (or you’ll skin yourself ). It works a treat.

O keeffes healthy feet foot cream. Has worked wonders for my feet. Once a week I use a foot mask after using a pumistone. Then every night I use the foot cream apply then put cotton socks on. My feet are soft now

When you’ve got rid of your hard skin I highly recommend E45 cream to keep your feet soft. I have tried loads of special heel balms but that stuff is the best. Honestly, trust me!

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I got it after reading the recommendation here and it's also the best body cream I've ever tried. A new staple for me

This is amazing, I second that.

I've just tried the Derma V10 exfoliating foot peel. Not sure if anyone here has used it before but it's the most bizarre thing I've ever used. You put these little boots on for 90 minutes and then 7-10 days later the dry skin on your feet peels like mad. My feet currently look like an 80 year olds but from the videos on YouTube, they should look as good as new soon! It was 99p from Home Bargs so how could I say no?!

I use E45 when mine start to get bad and it does work for me. Other than that I just daily moisturise with coconut butter from the body shop.

Can anyone suggest the best way to tackle my cracked dry heels? I have a foot file but it’s more like a sandy nail file type and it doesn’t cut it. Thought about a PedEgg but not sure if they are any good?

This cream is great! My heels are quite bad so i definitely need a good scrap and then this cream to keep them smooth

Was going to buy one of those Newton sponges, but they seem to be either sold out or way too expensive atm!

I ordered a pack of 3 from Amazon yesterday £4.99. I thought that was reasonable? They had different pack sizes and all were in stock.

Very disappointed as these never arrived! Seller blamed it on the courier losing them then said he has no more in stock, so he refunded me
