Try rubbing your calluses with a pumice stick, after a shower or soaking your feet. This removes the hard skin for me. Then I follow with some lotion to moisturize and Vaseline to seal that moisture in. This keeps my feet smooth. and eliminates cracks.

So many of the heel balms contain Urea....I don't know if it's just me, but I can't stand the smell.....to me it literally smells like pee. I wear footwear all the time and have incredibly thick/cracked heels, toes etc. worse if I go barefoot or wear flip flops. My husband jokes that I need an industrial grinder. My feet literally destroy all the gentle and ladylike footcare products.
