Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dry cracked heels?

A&D ointment has been the absolute best and fastest acting at easing the pain and healing 'gaulding' and jock rash of anything I've ever tried.

O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet is the one we use when 'grease' doesn't do it.

Diabeti Derm works great. First time, every time. No smell.

When we're rafting on extended trips, feet and hands get beat up. Moms' Stuff is the best thing I've found for cracking feet and hands.

This thing works much, much better than I thought it would:

all of the salve and balms work but have your thyroid checked . persistent cracking is a symptom of hypo thyroid. btdt.

Fer phuuckx sake ya nasty bastid !!! ....take a hot shower or bath.

While yer in there and after all the normal washing use a wood rasp to grind that schidt off yer heels/feet.

Once all that dry, toughened skin is gone use some Bag Balm or similar to keep the skin moistened.

You could rub some pusssy butter on them

bag balm. comes in a green can. stinks like schit and is greasy as gear grease but it does the trick. smear that stuff on and wear a pair of socks over it for a couple of evenings and you'll be fine.

Stinks? The hell you say!

It'll heal heels!

First, glue the crack shut with super glue. Somebody makes such a glue for humans that you can ask for and buy in a drug store but it seems the same to me. Gluing the crack closed reduces pain way down. You will probably need to glue it several times until it heals. Ditto for cracks in fingers, corner of thumb, etc.

Second, use the Udderly smooth stuff from the first post or one of the other products to make the skin more pliable and healthy enough not to crack.

Smooth side of hoof rasp, or a sharp wood rasp...

Does a standard issue pedicure take care of a such a thing?

I think so, from what little I've read about pedicures. It was on this forum or another one some guy got a pedicure for some reason years ago and liked the results, but not handing over his man card.

I heard REAL men just use a 4" orbital grinder, grind the hell out of your feet, then slap on some used axle grease - and it makes your socks slip on easier. All that other stuff mentioned is for the wimmen folk!

Corn Huskers Lotion. Doesn't smell and no greasy residue. It says it's for hands but can be used on the feet too.

Interesting to see what you lot do, most of us here simply soak our feet in white vinegar for 30 minutes or so each day for a week, take the time to scratch all that thick skin off whilst you are at it as it comes off easy with your nails.

Then forget all about it 'til next year.


But...you can grease it up if you want.

Cracked heels, sore feet, dog piss stains on the lawn............What's this place turning into?
A retirement home?...................LOL

Yes, only old fellas have the time to be on here, all the young fellas are out hunting.
