There is nothing I hate more in the summer than the sight of dry and cracked feet in sandals - and yet that's what I have. Despite the fact I had a pedicure two weeks ago too. I have filed away the dead skin and now it looks worse. Dryer and blistery - nothing seems to work. Please please give me tips. I really don't want to have to wear socks all summer

Absolutely agree Pippa000. I use Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream in the summer and it is magic.

Mt foot lady says that any product that has Urea will do the job. She recommends Flexitol, the one with 25% Urea. It isn't as pleasant to use as some of the perfumed ones.

I have used CCS cream winter and summer for years after a chiropodist told me about it. Have others that have been presents but still go back to CCS. My heels are worse in winter especially if my feet get cold. My best tool for getting rid of dry skin on heels (or hooves as my DH refers to them) is a little fine sandpaper block that I bought in a DIY shop for 50p. Does the job perfectly!
