Can you tell me if there are any good remedies for cracked heels and feet?

Yes: You need to file or shave down the cracked tissue and then apply crisco and cover with Saran wrap and put a sock on it overnight.

Cracked: That is one thing to help. However debridement of the hypertrophic skin and using a cream that exfoliates dead skin helps a lot also.
