Found great solution for cracked heels.

I will be the first to admit I neglect my feet in the winter. I live in the NE, wear socks from November to April and don't spend money on pedicures.

I do now have an Emjoi and did not use it as much as I should have and though I love the results, still some roughness as I get ready for sandal and open shoe season if it ever gets warm here in PA.

Anyway, I get cracks on my thumbs by the corner of my nail in the winter and found O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream per the suggestion of a nurse. It works great and thought I would try it on my heals and on the sides of the my big toes. Works wonderfully! I found it at Home Depot.

So between my Emjoi Nano and this cream, my feet are all ready for summer and I will get pedicure to start and then only need a polish change for most of the summer.

Re: Found great solution for cracked heels.

Good to know it works for you...I wear socks about the same time frame you do...awful heels as well! I tried that hand creme a while back and really did not like it, it made my hands feel odd...like not enough moisture in the product, and I always ended putting on my standby hand lotion....but maybe I should try it on my feet, it can't hurt.

Good to know. I purchased the foot cream from recommendations and many thumbs up on this forum. So far, I like it. I too use it after my Emjoi maintenance and with cotton sockettes.

I am using manuka honey on my feet and they are looking good...it even gets rid of corns.Takes a bit but soon they just peel away.

I do not put the hand cream on my entire hand or on my feet. It does feel weird as I think is made as a protectant for an entire area for working person's hands.

Try it only on the cracked areas and I think you will like the results.
