How heel cracks form
The hard skin on the heel is particularly thick. When it becomes dry and loses its elasticity, it splits under pressure — creating fissures, known medically as rhagades. Dry heated air, open shoes in summer, standing for long periods and conditions such as diabetes all make this more likely.
How I care for cracked heels
First, I gently remove the hardened skin around the cracks so the edges don't split any further. I carefully clean and smooth the cracks themselves. Then I care for the skin with a rich cream.
For deeper cracks, I usually recommend several appointments a few weeks apart. That gives the skin time to recover.
How to keep your heels supple
- Apply a urea-based foot cream to your heels every day
- File hard skin gently once a week — don't use a callus shaver
- Wear shoes with a closed heel and good support
- Drink enough water, especially when the heating is on
- Wear cotton socks overnight after applying cream

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Care for cracked heels costs from €65 and takes about 30 minutes.
For mild cracks, one appointment is often enough. For deep, painful cracks, several appointments a few weeks apart usually make sense.
Foot creams containing urea have a good track record. I'm happy to discuss which concentration suits you during your appointment.
Yes, as long as there are no open wounds. In that case, please book foot care for diabetics so I can plan enough time.
