Gee, who knew that wearing sandals all the time would dry and crack my heels and bottom of my feet to the point of bleeding? I would use cuticle scissors to cut off the pieces of skin that would peel away - looked like my heels went through a grater. I have tried many lotions/creams (with petroleum, urea and/or salicylic acid), heel sticks, ped egg, exfoliants, pumice stone, etc... Nothing helped longer than it took for the cream to soak in and then it was back to cracked heels. I knew wearing shoes and socks would be a savior but it's a little toasty for a good part of the year in Phoenix.
I finally stumbled upon these heel sleeves on Amazon and since they did not cover my entire foot I thought I could give them a try. They really have done a wonderful job of healing my heels and the bottom of my feet. Since they do not cover my toes, my big to is still a dry and callused but they respond effectively with the pumice stone.
My program includes soaking and washing my feet before applying Earth Therapeutics Intensive Heel Repair Moisturizing Balm and once that is soaked in I put on my heel sleeves whenever I can. I first started with sleeping with them for 5 nights and the healing results were quite surprising. My feet are not completely perfect but pretty darn good. I'm not ashamed to show my feet in sandals. I now just maintain with wearing the sleeves every other evening while channel or internet surfing after work until I hit the hay.
I purchased 2 pairs so I could rotate them for cleaning - I just wash them lightly in the sink with a little Woolite and air dry. I highly recommend giving these a try.

I have been dealing with cracked heels for years. The problem was so bad that my heel became infected and I went to the doctor for treatment. He merely prescribed some medicine that worked briefly then my cracked heels came back. This product eliminated the cracked heels in about two weeks and returned them to normal. I still have to use moisturizer and scrub my heels in the shower, but this product put my heels back into a normal state (although I have to maintain them.) I've kept my heel-sleeves for months. I would recommend buying a couple pairs. You can wash them, put vaseline in them and wear them occasionally to maintain good heel condition. A great product that works.

I am diabetic and have struggled with dry, cracking, sore heels and feet - I've tried several prescription creams, which work to a degree, but require mutiple daily applications and are very expensive. I found these heel sleeves at my doctor's office and have been amazed by them! The skin was moisturized OVERNIGHT and they genuinely felt soft and smooth, like they used to be when I was a kid. You can use these with or without a moisturizing cream. They are comfortable and you only have to use them every few nights or so. I will never go back - I'll always have a pair!
