Cracked Heels Despite Socks? 8 Reasons Why & Pedicure Must-Haves Revealed!

  • Cracked heels persist year-round for many, even with socks and cream, due to internal and habit-related factors.
  • Key causes include excessive dryness, open-back/hard-soled shoes, incorrect foot care, and dehydration.
  • Nutritional deficiencies (Vitamins A, E, B complex, zinc, Omega-3) and medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid issues can also lead to cracked heels.
  • Prolonged standing, obesity, and environmental factors like dry air or constant AC contribute to the problem.
  • For pedicures, soak feet in lukewarm water with salt/lemon, gently scrub with a pumice stone, and apply foot cream with urea, shea butter, glycerin, or lactic acid, then wear cotton socks.

Why It Matters: Cracked heels stem from various factors; proper foot care, nutrition, hydration, and specific pedicure steps are crucial.
