I've been Diabetic for 50 years. I soak my feet in warm water with white vinegar twice a week. Drying my feet takes all the dead skin off. Then coat with vaseline and wear cotton socks overnight. My doctors are always amazed!
My favorite dermatologist genius. Your advice solved my perpetual heel/callous misery.
I inherited my dry feet from my mom. Feet were fine, hit 30 and boom. Cracked dry feet. Checked with derm and he confirmed its genetic, all tests came back normal. 40% Urea cream (With socks) and the Ordinary 30% AHA (No socks, once a week, 10 minutes only) is what I use.. The ordinary AHA didn't work well with my face. Tried it on my feet one day, didn't cause a reaction and helped IMMENSELY with cracking and flaking on feet.
A lovely gift for simply explaining truth so we can do what is necessary to care for ourselves! Thank you as always! I will NEVER regret finding and listening to this channel!! Xo
Dr Dray is the educational queen, love hearing her explain literally anything. Shes taught me so much❤️
I had no idea cracked feet could be serious. I’m so glad you talked about menopause, no one talks about it. It totally explains a lot!
Regarding the support aspect; I had knee and lower back problems all of my life. But I finally tried minimalist flat foot wear (like converse) and it changed my life for the better, now feel like a kid again, I have no more knee and back pain. 100% gone. I was told I needed more support all of my life when actually it was the opposite that cured my pain.
absolutely. we didn't evolve to wear hyperstructured marshmallows on our feet. weakening your main walking equipmebt has to cause massive problems. barefoot is just better
The light went on when you mention Menopause and Thyroid.. I would have never thought of those 2 issues contributing to my dry feet.. thank you
Thank you so much for addressing menopause! I had no idea this could be a cause. It all clicked when you mentioned it in this video. Menopause is definitely not discussed enough especially for those of us experiencing it at a younger age than what many, including physicians, are used to. Really appreciate you making mention of this! Means alot!
I’m so glad she talked about this too! I couldn’t figure out what was happening to my feet when I’d never had this issue before. My eyes are super dry too.
@@cwb1400 I have experienced super dry eyes as well. It has made wearing contacts challenging.
I’m 38 and realizing my feet have just been a lot dryer quicker. That said, it dawned on me I might be in my premenopausal phase…
Menopause has been the worst for my skin and also my sleep as well.
Hrt has helped, but there are still so many unresolved symptoms.
How young can one get menopause??
This woman deserves a medal. Amazingly informative and also understandable; she doesn't dumb down the information like others.
Thank you for being so helpful and explaining clearly! Hope you know how you are a natural teacher!!! Easy to listen!! Thanks again!!
Boy...it all makes so much sense! Thanks for educating us!👍
Kerasal is fantastic to soften callouses on my heels. I also use Eucerin's Intensive Repair lotion and CeraVe's baby ointment alternatively. My feet are more susceptible during the summer when I'm less likely to wear socks due to the heat and humidity. It's an ongoing battle. 😕 Thankfully I've never been one to roam around outdoors in bare feet. I agree about menopause....it dries out everything. I've noticed since it started, my toenails have become dryer and more prone to breakage. Ointment is very helpful for this. ☺
I’m a CMP (basically non surgical foot care) and not only is so much of this so true, thank you Dr Dray for making this video! I see more cracked heels from cheese grated feet from the salon. That causes the feet to protect itself and grow thick skin that cracks and is open to fungus. So easily fixed!
Q. I had ankle surgery two months ago, I’m waiting for incision scab to fall so I can soak my foot but meanwhile my foot is peeling so much and I wonder if I should do anything to help peeling and or my skin heal fast. Any advice ??
I love your wit! Always a pleasure to watch your channel.
Great helpful video with awesome tips! Thank you Dr. Dray
Thank you for addressing menopausal women and how we will spend a good portion of our life in this phase. I really appreciate this.
Hrt definitely helped my terribly dry and itchy, miserable skin and also helped my feet!
@kwi must use Omega 3's helps all kinds of things... brain, eyes, skin, joints etc...
I loved the tips!!! Thanks, Dr Dray! 🙏🌟🦋
this is amazing. I am so glad to hear the 'super glue'. I have been doing this for years and swear by it! Thank you for sharing :)
Sincerely thank you for spreading consciousness , it’s really helpful.
Thanks from a Cracked Feet Houston subscriber. Also, I have about 3 pairs of Vionic sandals I wear thru-out the summer months. Thanks for all you do.
I started wearing Vionics after being diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma on my left foot. Game changer for me. I walk pain free now because the arch support of the Vionics keeps the pressure off the neuroma.
I just shared this video with 20 people. This was awesome and you're a wonderful presenter...nice and simple
I am so happy modern youtube have so many experts on it, like have you any idea how difficult information was to get +-12 years ago
I have several pairs of Vionic slippers. I love them. I live in Vionic flip flops in the summer, they are so comfortable and supportive. Great video👍🏻
I have been exclusively wearing Vionic shoes for a few years now. They make a huge difference for me, all of the styles are so comfortable.
Have purchased 2 pairs of Vionic flip flops and love them. Great support!
Thank you!
You are exactly on point with everything you said!
My life was forever changed when I discovered silicone socks and urea 40% cream. I sleep in both of these 4 nights out of the week, and I deal with absolutely no dry and cracked heels anymore. And I had horrible heels for my entire life. Game changer!
What urea cream do you use ?

So surprised by how much I learned from this video. Thanks for your time and help! ✨
I love those earrings! Thanks for all the great info once again.
The most well defined explanation. Thank you.
I think several of these issues are the cause for me.
Thank you for this video Dr. Dray!
Thanks for watching
So glad to find this video. I’ve dealt with horribly rough heels that get very painful fissures occasionally, for over 15 years and I’m not that old 😂 I’m going to try the tips
Archie’s flip flops look great and feel great. They give you great support and are so comfortable.
Great advice! Thankyou, needed it for sure!
I need a complete redo for skin!!
So informative thank you! 🙏
Learning to use a urea-based foot cream is one of the very best tips I've picked up from you, Dr. Dray. I'm not the type of person who is so invested in their feet that I'd ever get a pedicure. But I don't want my feet looking gross. Using Kerasal 1x/wk has been the perfect almost no effort solution. I use Albolene on my feet on the regular, too, instead of petrolatum. Albolene is another product I'd have never tried without you. Initially, I got Albolene to remove my sunscreen. This winter, I found it to be the most soothing product when I feel an eczema flare coming on. Now, I turn to it for many needs because I enjoy the greater "slip" in it.
You use albolene cleanser on your feet ? I'm wondering if there's a moisturizer also in that but I can't find it .
Kerasal was a game changer after years and many $ trying to find a helpful solution. Thank you!
Not enough trips to the beach for exfoliation with natural sand. I hear you. I’m booking my trip now. Thank you!
My little podiatrist heart is loving this, thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention 💖 we love healthy, hydrated feet 🦶

@Krystal My what’s it used for?
@Krystal My thank you. I just ordered what she recommended off of Amazon. My feet are so bad lately it hurts walk in my sandals. They are cut and dry and I can’t leave them alone. I have them Vaseline now with socks.
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray!
Happy Tuesday
What a great explanation!
I love your hair pulled back like this!
Ive been battling dry cracked heels since I was in my early 30s. I recently started using AHA lotion on my body and thought, why not feet too!? Occlusives alone have not been enough. In the last week I’ve been using AHA on my feet at night, with aquaphor layered on top. Socks go on for as long as I can tolerate (sometimes they come off in the middle of the night). My heels are finally, after all these years, looking heathy. I may try the kerasal product you mention but will be careful not to go too far. Thanks for mentioning AHA (and similar) in this video. Game changer for me!
I used to live in a really cold place (MI) where I had the heat on all the time and then when I moved back to the South my feet became horribly dry and cracked. I'm nutritionally sound and I have had my thyroid checked, etc. What coincided with the move was perimenopause, though. However, you're the fist person to say that menopause can be a cause. I asked my derm why this was happening and she didn't tell me about menopause, she just shrugged and told me to use a cream. I can't take hormones due to history of breast cancer, so I can only do topical treatment, but I still wanted to know *why*. Now I'm pretty sure it's menopause. Thanks!
I love my Vionic shoes! I got some in a Vans sort of style. My chiropractor was amazed how much they helped my alignment without pricey custom orthotics.
Sending this to my mom cause she always listens to Dr Dray 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
Maybe this is the student in me, but I think it would be so cool if you started an educational series teaching about the anatomical structure of the skin, what things are, what they do, etc. I love learning biology and the science behind things, and I think you would be an amazing teacher for this!
Yes!!!
I third this idea!!
I agree!
Always loved going barefoot. Developed plantar fasciitis, and had to wear sandals/shoes all the time. They helped my foot pain, and my rough cracked heels went away too!
Thanks for posting this!
Very helpful video! Thank you!
I became sensitive to wheat. Once I gave it up, my dry, cracked feet improved dramatically.
Awesome information! Thank you! I ordered a pair of the Vionic slippers when you mentioned them in an earlier video. I have larger feet ( I am tall) and was so pleasantly surprised that they had them in my size! This year, I ordered a pair of them for my daughter for Christmas as I wanted her to have a supportive pair of slippers. They are wonderful and hold up so well.
Glad you like them!
@@DrDrayzday Is there a cheaper alternative to Vionic? Thanks
@@andrearisner2922 around here, in NC, they have really good sales on vionic.. Belks esp has good sales. Also vionic slippers generally last longer.
Great video. Love Vionics for the summer.
Thanks 👍 Dr dry for explaining the problem with dry feet.
The krazy glue tip literally saved my life. I had a very severe skin condition on my feet that caused very painful wounds under my feet and toes. My dermatologist recommended to make sure the wound was clean and dry, and then to press the skin to "close" the wound and apply a thin layer of glue on top of it and wait a few seconds. The relief is immediate ❤️
She said it in the video to make sure the skin was clean and dry before applying the crazy glue 🤔
I have gotten cracks in my fingers in the winter. It’s incredibly painful. I wash and dry them really well. Then squeeze them together and super glue them. It burns a little at first, but it sure helps with healing and stops the pain.
Yes, I've worn Vonics for years. I have suffered from fallen arches as a child. My feet pronate.
I saw Vionics on QVC. I tried their walking shoes and the heavens opened up. I was able to start walking around the Rose Bowl 3.25 miles daily. I manage my weight by walking. I wear Vionics and Allbirds. My only problem is I wear a 10.5 but have to buy an 11.
Thank you Dr Dray. I bought and have been using the Kerasal. Game changer on the hard spots on my big toes. Thank you for all your videos. 🙏🏻
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Great video. Vionic shoes are a must have. The bootie styles are always on trend but super comfortable because of the arch support. Same for athletic shoes. Sandals are more hit and miss as it depends more on your foot. As a post-menopausal woman this was really helpful. I don’t have a terrible problem with dry skin on my feet because I live in the north so wear socks more often and I always wear good shoes - including Vionic flip flops.
I bought a pair of Vionic flip flops. Maybe I'm just built differently, but on one foot, I felt like I was walking on the outside of my foot. The arch was too high and not comfortable. I'm back to Birkenstocks in the summer.
I have owned many Vionic slip-on sandals, boots and even a pair of their sneakers. All super comfy. I wear an 11W so I appreciate their size inclusion too.
Thanks to you I also love the Bionic slippers and the foot gel!
Thanks for this super helpful video!
Kerasil is a staple in my house. It does absolutely wonderful things for my poor feet. I use it a few times a week and it keeps my feet smooth and soft. Same with okeefes. I love those two products
Definitely hereditary for me. I use Flexitol which has 2nd ingredient urea and also has some glycolic acid and tea tree oil in it. I'm guessing Kerasal is similar. You're inspiring me to put away the scraper and start using the flexitol more often instead.
Ty!! Dr. Dray🥰👍. Since finding you…kerasal is my go to, little on my finger corners as well. Enjoy you and your vlogs. Thanks!!😀
Thank you, Dr. Dray. I suffer w this😩
Good ideas. Jana - Texas
I've had this since college. I'm now in my 60s. I tried everything, including prescriptions from podiatrists. I tried Camille Beckman cream. Just out of desperation. I swear this healed my feet. Imagine 45 YEARS I tried stuff!
I started taking collagen for dry skin on my feet. It has solved this problem as well as moisturising skin all over my body.
I love your content soooo much! Thank you for doing this. I wish I was in the US so I could get an appointment with you.
Hello
likewise thank you so much for the content. It is educational and helps me every time. Much love!
Vionic sandals and slippers have been amazing on my feet. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet along with high arches. They are quality footwear and I have yet to wear a pair out. They are holding up better than any other I’ve purchased.
Great advice. I use grape seed oil on my heels which has helped. Grape seed oil is light & absorbs into the skin faster then other oils. Supportive shoes have helped me & I buy the gel inserts in my shoes it seems to help. Also take vitamins & drink Golden Turemic Tea & Green Tea with lemon. You are what you eat & drink. Pamela
Great content!!! I have cracked heels and I will need to try some of the items recommended to see if this will help. Thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you. 💕
My great grandma who was born in 1912 used to put crisco (lard) on her feet ever single night and then a pair of socks, I don't know how it worked but that woman had baby feet, the only part on her body with no wrinkles was her feet! So crazy!
What is Cristina (lard) exactly??
I’ve got cracker feet so maybe this’ll help me??
Old school country remedies almost always works
Do you do the same thing? Or did your other family members do this as well?
@@ChristianGibbons777 Crisco is the brand name. Lard can be found in the cooking oil aisle or baking aisle at the grocery store
Hi Kiley. I found your comment very helpful 💗Would have loved to try this but I looked up Lard and it can’t be used by Muslims as pork and anything made out of it is forbidden. Just putting this out here for Muslims like myself who might want to try this out. Also, can you suggest any alternatives?
At our Podiatry clinic, we have to remind people to wear shoes🤗 and lotion of course! Love this video!!! We also tell people to use saran wrap over lotion instead of socks, for extreme cases, so the moisture goes into the skin instead of into the socks. DON'T WALK IN THE SARAN WRAP! Super slick
the only reason to wear shoes is cold or actual injury. forcing healthy feet to get weak is bad medicine and unethical
Amazing information as always
In the past I worked in a quality footwear store that sold supportive footwear. I have seen some really bad cracked heels, hammer toes, etc. Women who in the 1950s and 60s changed the shape of their feet so much in the pointy heels. I stopped wearing heels and know arch support is a must. I have been getting dry and cracked heels that I use a pumice stone for. This video was great timing. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤🙏 I had issues post menopause (now that you mentioned it) but when I started supplementing with marine collagen peptides back in 2017. Improved tremendously, afraid to stop taking it now!
Collagen worked great for my eternally bumpy skin on my elbows
Thank you for bringing awareness to menopause and it’s impact. In peri-menopause, I started to get severe crack feet. I had to go to the doctor because it got so bad. Thankfully, I was put on hormones, and it cleared up in 4 months. The hormones also corrected the easy bruising I started to experience , loss of hair, and balance issues caused by the peri-menopause.
Easy bruising? I am so glad I read your comment because I keep noticing bruises and I am in peri-menopause!
@@anmnou Same.
I'm 37 and I think I'm showing signs of period menopause. Haven't been to see the doctor yet but I'm suspe ting it more and more and kind of frightened about it tbh
Lmao 🤣 omg I just turned 40 and boy am I feelings all kinds of ish .. I got the hot flashes nausea headaches my menstrual has been coming different dates at a month but nothing irregular
Great video. Thank you so much.
I love vionic flipflops, these are a game changer for me !
Vaseline before I go running has worked wonders for me.
Literally melted the heavily cracked callouses away.
I stop using the "cheese grater" on my heels, and just used petroleum jelly; and even in the dead winter my heels are doing pretty good! I'll incorporate that salicylic acid! Thanks, Dr Dray 😊
Lol " cheese grater"
You look stunning. Very informative video. Thank you 😊
You’re the best! Thank you
I’ve worn Vionics exclusively for years. I probably have about 20 pairs right now. They’re fantastic for plantar fasciitis. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a high arch support.
Yes, they are so comfortable. I live in Michigan but I wear them about 6 months out of the year.
No cracked heels but I developed plantar fasciitis about 7 yr ago. I literally couldn't walk. I bought Vionic
Dressy flats for work & they were Very expensive. Absolutely did nothing to help.
Plain Crocs provided my only relief.
After doing foot stretches religiously it went away. I have to say the pain related to PF was excruciating. Btw-
I never wore flip flops
Yes! Teacher here. Junky shoes make my feet knees and hips a mess, but Vionic thrown into the mix of my shoe wearing keeps me going!
Thank you for this. I was looking for arch support sandals for a long time
@@poorthing I know this is late, but I have hard flooring through my entire house so I ended up with PF. The only way I got rid of it was to wear Vionic sandals inside my house at all times. I had one pair that was designated for indoors only.
Love the Vionic slippers, I too wear them around the house and my calluses have been much better. Thanks for all your wonderful advice! Happy Tuesday!
Do you know which one of the bionic slippers that’s recommended? There are different types and I was confused. Is it the Gemma? I just wanted to make sure I’m buying the exact ones as Dr Dray. Thank you.
@@evalee8097 I have the Gemma and the Sadie, they both have the same support. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their slippers or shoes.
@@normafrances4223 Thank you so much for your help.
This video also goes to my Dr. Dray playlist😊
Kerasol is the best!!! Thanks!
Thanks for this. I am an amputee so my remaining foot health is VERY important. I will try the Kerasal and socks. Winter I wear little boots and summertime I excitedly wear sandals. I love painting both my biological foot and the prosthetic foot shell to match. Changing footwear frequently is a problem so I rarely change shoes unless my prosthetist does it. Sneakers is something I was stuck in for the beginning and I missed cuter shoes that I’m now able to wear. Dry foot was an issue last year and I’m hoping this will help.

Thank you so much for this! My heels have been horrible this winter with deep dry fissures. I started using the Kerasal as you recommend and within 6-7 days-all smooth! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for watching
I will def be trying as well!!
Likewise! Smoother than they’ve been in years.
Thank you for review! I saw this first time today and was kind of shocked at $8/oz price. But if it really smoothed your feet in a week, I'm going to go get some tomorrow. Thanks!
I’ve been using it for a few years now, and it is the absolute best! It’s totally worth the $8 a tube. You’ll see some difference overnight.
Kerasal works wonders on dry, cracked heels. Tried it on your recommendation and was impressed at how well it works. So thanks for my much softer and smoother feet. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray!! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💙
Omg. I am 6 months into menopause, and I now have the cracked dry heals that I have never had. I will speak to my derm tomorrow
Thank you. Great tips.
