My miracle purchase. I have the worst time with dry and cracked heels. Both in the winter from being dry, and in the summer from wearing sandals. I try to stay on top of them, but if they get extremely dry and cracked, I wear these to bed and overnight they become soft and much easier to care for. Love them so much I bought a pair for everyone in my family for Christmas.
These are not a gimmick. I purchased my first pair many years ago and wore them to tatters. I didn't think to search Amazon for another set until the last year. They do wear out if you wear them every night, but they will last a good 6 months, at least. I've learned a few tricks, mainly you can wash them in the washing machine, but hang them to dry. You can put lotion on before using them, but it will degrade them faster.
I am not exaggerating that I believe I have the worst heels ever. If I miss a few days of babying them, they are cracking again, year 'round. These socks do not fit tight, they are very comfortable to wear and stay in place. When my heels are in exceptionally bad shape, I've even worn them to work under my socks. One night of using these, you will be sold. Guarantee.
