Silly judgmentalism aside - those cracked heels are uncomfortable at best, painful at worst. A pumice stone is apt to exacerbate the problem. What works for me is Mycocide CX Callus Exfoliating Foot Cream. It's like a miracle.
One day you, too, will look down and realize you are stumping around on old-lady-feet. Or old-man-feet, as the case may be.
Do not go gentle into that good night. Fight, fight against the dying of the light. Or skin. Whatever.
You're right though - if you don't take care of your feet every day, they can turn on you faster than you think.
Whenever my dad sees my mom slathering lotion on her feet, he says she's "greasing her hoofs."
Don't laugh - I've tried ALL the remedies - the Swedish foot file, professional pedicures, pumice, the cheese grater thing...let me tell you what works the BEST: fine-grit sandpaper, and a sanding block! SERIOUSLY! My feet are like a baby's feet. You grate your feet DRY (NOT WET!) and slough off all that dead skin. Then you soak or wash them, then moisturize and put on socks. TRY IT! Works MIRACLES! I think it's WAY better than a professional pedicure.

That's right - whether you use the cheese grater thing or sandpaper or whatever - USE IT ON DRY FEET. Works like a charm.
Did you scroll down and read the first customer review on this? Pretty funny description of his experience with it.
LOL that one must have been added after I bought mine! I love this thing! That review is HILARIOUS though - if that guy's not a writer for a living, he's missed his calling.
You DO have to be careful with it though - it works VERY well. I mean, don't get carried away or you will have raw feet!

Men should be banned from wearing sandals... especially in restaurants.
Years ago I was behind this guy at some fast food joint and I happen to glance at his feet. He had flip flops on. His heels looked horrible! I will never forget that. It looked so bad I felt nauseated and left. Ever since then, I make sure my heels get taken care of.
