@ Moriah: Try shea butter on your heels. You can get it for a halfway decent price at Sprouts. It’s much, much more effective on callused heels than olive oil.

Unfortunately, tho’, the only cure for cracked heels is to wear closed shoes, preferably with socks or hose.

I am only 25 and suffer from cracked heels. I love to wear flip flops and ballet flats without socks so this is what’s caused it. I was in an olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop in downtown Asheville, NC tasting different combinations when I got a bit of oil on my hand. Rather than wipe it off, I rubbed it into my dry cuticles on my hands and after only one time of this I noticed a big improvement! I’m now trying it on my poor cracked heels. I think it will be most effective after showers in the evenings with socks. I put some on this morning too.

Hey there!

Love this idea. I live in Florida and have not worn closed-toe shoes in years. My feet look like the feet of a ninety year-old baboon. I can’t afford pedicures all the time, so I’ll definitely try this! Husband will have to deal with the aroma…

Nice post (and very nice pictures…I’m starting to think I’ll have to do a treatment when I get home!). Olive oil is such a nice skin treatment yet somehow gets overlooked….
