Foot Care
Looking after dry, cracked and tired feet at home, grouped by what the products are for, with a note on why every pick is there.
Creams and Balms for Cracked Heels
Cracked heels begin as dry, thickened skin that splits under pressure. Creams with urea or fruit acids soften and thin that skin; heavier ointments seal moisture in while the cracks close. Many routines pair the two: an active cream by day and an ointment at night, under socks.

Metatarsal Pads, Heel Lifts and Toe Spacers for One Sore Spot
Not every foot problem calls for a new insole. Pressure under the ball of the foot, a heel that takes the jolt of every step, toes that crowd each other in a narrow shoe: each responds to a small support placed exactly where it hurts. Three of these from Soul Insole each answer one of those; the fourth, a soft orthotic with movable gel ramps, covers the whole foot when more than one spot is sore.

Calluses, Corns and Hard Skin
Hard skin builds up where shoes press and where the heel takes weight. A file takes it down, a softening gel makes the filing easier, and medicated pads deal with a corn on its own. Taking off a little at a time is gentler than taking off a lot at once.

Soaks, Masks and Overnight Care
A warm soak softens skin before filing and is a comfortable end to a long day on your feet. Masks and night lotions are the slower, low-effort side of foot care.

Athlete's Foot, Warts and Odor
The over-the-counter treatments for the other everyday foot troubles: athlete's foot between the toes, common and plantar warts, and odor in feet and shoes.

Insoles and Cushions
Pressure is behind a lot of hard skin and sore heels. A cushioned insole spreads it across the whole foot; gel pads put the cushion exactly where a shoe rubs.
