Cracked Heels

Heels crack where thick, dry callus can't flex. Softening the callus itself — nightly, generously, without fail — is what closes the fissures behind it.

Our confidence

High

A strong match for tallow-based barrier care

What to expect

Smoothing in 1–2 weeks

Typical severity

Mild · Moderate · Pronounced (see a clinician if deep or painful)

What you may notice

  • Visible fissures at the heel rim
  • Hard callused edges
  • Discomfort standing barefoot

Keeping it at bay

  • Nightly butter under cotton socks — the whole protocol
  • Well-fitted shoes; open backs make cracking worse
  • Deep, painful, or bleeding cracks belong with a clinician
