These have been designed to hydrate the drier, thicker skin of your feet and stop the heels from cracking.<br /> <br /> 3) Make sure you vary the height of your shoe heels as this will keep your calf muscles flexible. If walking is painful or you spend a lot of time on your feet, be sure to use padded insoles to cushion the balls of your feet.<br /> <br /> 4) If wearing sandals, it is a must to apply SPF to your feet.

The foot spas you can buy are a great idea but all you need is a bucket full of warm water and a few essential oils. Peppermint, cypress, lavender, pine, frankincense and tea tree oils are all excellent choices.
