5.0 out of 5 stars I use this for dry, cracked, bleeding feet!!!!, July 15, 2009

I've just about given up trying to keep my feet and heels from looking like something that belong on a T Rex. For years, I have struggled with the soles of my feet and my heels being so dry, they crack deeply and bleed so walking and wearing shoes is painful. Not to mention the pantyhose I've destroyed over the years. I've tried doctors, medications, vitamins, topical ointments, lotions, vaseline, sandpaper, dremel sanding wheels, drywall sanding pads followed by lotions, professional pedicures - you name it, I've tried it and failed. A few weeks back I spotted my old jar of vicks in the cabinet and decided, what the heck? Plastered some on my feet and heels after morning shower, on with the socks and sneakers, and followed this routine for 2 weeks. I have the sweetest feet now!!! I can't remember a time I wasn't mortified to show my feet in sandles, open shoes/heels, or walk barefoot in the presence of others. Nor can I recall a time when my feet didn't hurt like heck when I walked. This product is a bit expensive but the torture I've endured all my life with this issue and the extreme relief and joy I now have because of it, you can bet I'll have this on hand at all times.

October 2010 - I broke down and tried that product being advertised on tv that is suppose to work wonders for dry, cracked heels and feet. I found it on sale so went nuts and got 4 and let me tell you...they are going to be here a very, very long time. They do work, but only if you apply them a minimum of twice/day every day. Skip a day and you're feet and heels are once again doomed. So I'm back to using my reliable, dependable and efficient Vicks on my feet never to stray again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effective anti-fungal, October 28, 2009

I use Vicks VapoRub when I have a cold, but also to get rid of toenail fungus. The oral meds can be hard on the liver and expensive. Vicks works to get rid of fungus on the feet and in the toenails. It does take quite a bit longer than an oral medication (think months instead of weeks), and you have to be willing to smell like Vicks in the meantime. To me, that was a small trade-off.

Both my wife and I grew up with our parents giving us a Vicks' rub when we were sick. Now that we have our own kids, we still using the same product. It gives them comfort from seasonal sicknesses. It helps them sleep better when their chest are congested. It also works great to rub it to their feet. Sometimes my wife put dab a little bit of it around her eyes, she says it helps her to sleep :)

I have tried cheaper generics from groceries but they don't work as well. They seem to be less concentrated and not much soothing vapor.
