Pressure will be reduced if the heel is physically supported and preferably cushioned; this is best achieved by wearing shoes with a heel cup. Flip-flops have no heel cup, so the heel is subject to greater mechanical stresses, producing more callouses. Skin will dry out when exposed to the elements. In the Summer, this also includes the sun and dust. Again, wearing shoes with a heel cup will help, as will wearing socks – to stop skin from rubbing against the leather of a shoe, for example. The best weapon for treating dry, cracked heels is to use a good-quality cream. In recent years, ‘heel balms’ have become available specifically to target dry, cracked skin. Look for a cream with 25% urea to rehydrate feet. Regular use of this really makes a difference, but remember that cracks will keep returning if the underlying cause is not addressed.
