If you looked at my feet from the top, I could be a foot model. If I turn them over they're a mess. I've tried every kind of foot moisturizer but I still get cracked heels. Now I heard they think this might be a form of athletes foot, so I bought some clotrimazole cream a couple of days ago and it's working! My heels have never looked this normal. If any of you are going through the same thing, I highly recommend trying this cream. You can get brand names like Lamisil and Tinactin, but I just bought Walmart's Equate brand and it's great.

Krafty - another trick is to take a pumice stone to them right before you get out of the shower when all the dead skin is softened up.

Fenix, I've tried everything, but my heels would never heal up. Everything was only temporary. This stuff is clearing them up so you can see pink around the edges instead of white. I'm amazed!

Bag Balm or Corona Salve. At a feed store near you. Works every time.

No, no, Maggie! It's good stuff. I remember putting this gooey stuff on my horses hooves and my hands were so silky afterwards...well, the backs were, my hands had callouses that a nail couldn't penetrate but I had the ferrier trim them when he did the horses.

Kraft, it is a form of athletes foot, glad the stuff you got is working! I just hate it, I've had cracked heels before!
One of my daughters had it bad, and went and had a pedicure, and they saw that, and they literally shaved her heels! and they looked great!

Near is correct. It is a fungal infection that attacks high moisture areas.
I've read about using the original formulation of Listerine as a treatment. Something about the eucalyptol, menthol and thymol the herbal extracts in combination may have anti-fungal activity.
Also supposedly good for resistant dandruff, which is also fungal in origin.

Wouldn't have that problem if you walked upright and weren't dragging you knuckles on the ground.

No, classic. In your case, you should pour salt on it. That should solve several problems at once.
Listerine? Finally, someone found a use for that stuff!

I guess that would give a new meaning to the term "salt peter"

So you guys knew all along about this? Geez, on tv they made it sound like a scientific breakthrough or something - kind of like when Anderson Cooper talked about how Saddam had uncontrollable outburts in court. Did any of you see the tapes? I didn't see anything even close to an outburst, let alone uncontrollable. What's happening to CNN? With Aaron Brown gone and Lou Dobbs on "vacation", I'm now wondering, is Anderson Cooper a Republican?

I swear by shea butter for my elbows and feet and pure almond oil for my face. The almond oil has no scent. I get spots of exzema on my face and it works wonders! It's the only thing that has really worked for me. Udder balm is fantastic for very dry hands just like Mane and Tail shampoo is great for long hair. Both those products were developed for use on animals, but can also be used on humans. Mane and Tail is the only shampoo and cream rinse that effectively washes my hair because it's so long and thick.
Isn't athlete's foot contagious?

that reminds of the most embarrassing that ever happened to me in high school:
The rule in the girl's locker room was always to wear thongs on your feet--and never to run while in the locker room. One day I was in a big hurry, and started running from the shower to my locker, and I had forgotten to wear my thongs. ...I slipped and suddenly found myself skidding on my back (buck naked) through the locker room...

Aren't thongs supposed to be worn higher up? And not on your feet?

where I grew up, what you call "flip-flops" were called thongs.

I see. I guess shower shoes is too simple a name.

Bunni
Too funny! A lot of funny things happened in the girl's locker room. We called them thongs as well. IOW, flip flops.
If you think about it, the thong worn as underwear bears a resemblence to those worn on the feet. How do women wear those things? The underwear thongs, I mean.

Bear: well of course we wouldn't have called them "shower shoes"--when I was a kid you wore those rubber thongs just about everywhere in the summer time. Can remember what a pain they could be because the part that went between your toes would start popping out all the time when a pair would get old.
Cheryl: I never have been able to understand wearing thong bikinis or underwear--must be incredibly uncomfortable. And at the beach I keep expecting thong bikini wearers to saw themselves in half when the sand gets added in...

Bunni, I've got a pair of sandals I wear around the house that were made by Speedo. Speedo is also a brand of swim wear used by competition swimmers. You should see the funny looks I get when telling someone I wear Speedo's at home.
North or South thing.??
There you go talking about anatomy again.

No!!!!! It was extremely fortunate for me that, in those days, digital cameras and camera phones were not on the scene!
