What do you do for dry, cracking feet?
#1
So I'm a lifeguard at an outdoor pool with that wretched pool deck and my feet have never cracked this much. It's getting to the point that it hurts to walk barefoot, and since I hate wearing shoes, it's killing me! What are your remedies for dry, cracking heels?
...I've ped-egged the crap outta them and still painful and cracky.

I am not a lifeguard nor do I have my feet in water as much as you. But in the summer time, I get dry cracked heels. A cream called Eucerin (get the original formula to start) and apply. I only applied at night after my bath, but you might apply it several times a day. You will find it at Walmart, Walgreen's or other chains in the hand lotion dept. Hope it helps.

Since they are so bad, you HAVE to do at least a week or two intensive care lotion.
Put on at night on each foot, massage into feet. Put on socks, and then go to bed. Light socks in summer...
After one to two weeks, just put lotion on them after every shower. Works on my feet (When I rememebr to do so).
I use Vaseline Intensive care... and Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion... works wonders.
