Cracked heels are a common foot condition that can range from mild dryness to deep, painful fissures. If left untreated, cracks can worsen, bleed, or become infected, making walking uncomfortable.

At Downtown Foot Clinic, our licensed chiropodists provide professional care to safely treat cracked heels, restore skin health, and prevent recurrence.

 

Common Causes of Cracked Heels

• • Dry or dehydrated skin
  • Prolonged standing or pressure on the feet
  • Open-back footwear (e.g., sandals)
  • Cold or dry weather
  • Callus buildup around the heel
  • Poor foot care routine

 

Common Symptoms

• • Dry, rough, or thickened skin on the heel
  • Visible cracks or splits in the skin
  • Pain when walking or standing
  • Redness or irritation
  • Bleeding in more severe cases

Early treatment can prevent cracks from becoming deeper and more painful.
