From my experience I'd say there are two types of cracked heel - 1) The sort you notice by looking at areas of dry cracked skin around the heel area 2) The type of cracked heel which is so painful that you feel as if you are walking on needles and hurts so much you almost want to cry Stupidly I told myself that what started out as the first could easily be sorted with the clever use of a foot file and some baby lotion/ foot cream/ baby oil - wrong! So, any Dooyooers who are currently suffering, I'd strongly advise forking out £3.79 for a 75 ml tube of Compeed because, in my opinion, it really works. It comes in an easy- to- spot turquoise ...  Read the complete review

Up until a few years ago I was an active competitor in local athletics, triple jump and running and towards the end of the season, particularly with being up and down wearing leather shows all day at work then training on an evening, I found myself getting my dry skin on my feet and a terrible case of cracked heels. I asked the club physio of ways to combat this and he gave me a pack of this and said "This will do the trick son".....and to my pleasure, it did! The product is designed to remoisturise and heal areas of cracked skin on the feet but mainly the heel. Its applied to dry and clean skin before bed and then once again in the morning and ...  Read the complete review

I have always suffered with my feet, and since being diagnosed with diabetes the problems have only gotten worse. Having this illness means I have to take very good care of my feet; I have a numbness along the bottoms of both feet and this stretches to encompass the sides too so I tend to check for problems fairly regularly, due to the risk of a minor cut or abrasion becoming infected without my knowledge. I have noticed, over time, that my once fairly smooth heels are looking appalling. The skin feels thickened and cracks are not only appearing, but becoming rather deeper than I have the stomach to describe in any detail! I wanted a specialised heel ...  Read the complete review

I do a heck of a lot of walking, and my poor feet bear the brunt of it. Just lately, I have had real problems with my heels cracking, making it absolute agony to walk. I have tried several different treatments, including different creams and abrasive "cheese grater" files, but one product I have found to be really effective is Compeed Overnight Cracked Heel Cream. The cream is a bargain, costing less than £4 for a big 75 ml tube. This is a lot cheaper than other creams of a similar nature, which usually retail at around the £6-£7 mark. It is available from the major supermarkets. The cream comes in a jade coloured box, which ...  Read the complete review

From time to time I develop dry skin on my legs and feet and if my feet get too dry then the skin starts to form cracks which isn't nice or pretty. I did try boots own version but it was a balm instead of a cream and found it did help but was quite greasy, so I thought I'd give Compeeds Overnight cream a go!! *Product and it claims It comes in a blue tube with screw lid, inside a blue box which tells you how to apply the cream and the ingredients used. The cream contains a unique blend of Urea and Lactic Acid which helps to intensively moisturise and regenerate the damaged and dry skin. The cream is safe for diabetics to use as I recommended this to my ...  Read the complete review
