How long do cracked heels take to heal?

Cracked heels can be a real pain in the... well, the heels! But don’t despair. We've got the lowdown on how long it takes to heal those cracked heels and the miracle treatment that will have you saying, “Heelalujah!"

Cracked heels, also known as heel fissures, can be as annoying as a mosquito at a barbie. They're not just unsightly — they can be downright painful. If you're wondering how long it takes for these stubborn heel cracks to heal, you've come to the right place.

What causes cracked heels?

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of healing, let's understand what causes these heel hiccups. Cracked heels can be triggered by various factors, including:

  • Lack of moisture: Your skin needs hydration, just like you need your daily flat white. Dry skin can lead to heel fissures.
  • Frequent standing: If you're on your feet all day, your heels bear the brunt of the pressure.
  • Improper fotwear: Wearing shoes that don't provide adequate support or are too tight can exacerbate the issue.
  • Harsh weather: Extreme temperatures, especially in the land Down Under, can zap the moisture from your skin.

What are the symptoms of cracked heels?

So, how do you know if you've got cracked heels? Keep an eye out for these telltale signs:

  • Visible cracks: You'll see dry, flaky skin that can progress into deep cracks.
  • Pain and discomfort: Cracked heels can be painful, especially when standing or walking.
  • Bleeding: In severe cases, the cracks may bleed, making every step a real doozy.
  • Thickened skin: Calluses might form around the cracked area.

How long does it take for cracked heels to heal?

Here's the million-dollar question: How long does it take for those cracked heels to heal? Well, it depends on the severity. Minor cracks can start improving within a few days with proper care. However, deeper, more stubborn cracks may take a few weeks to fully heal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miracle Worker 
Loved the product. Can’t believe the difference it made in appearance and softness after first use. Curious to see how often I’ll need to use it over summer as my heels come in contact with the ground more often.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks Heelalujah , I’m a convert !
Great product , best heel balm I’ve ever tried and is even working on my husband’s calloused feet. Love the hands free application and sockettes. Exactly what I have been looking for. Excellent value for money too. Highly recommend this product.

Heelalujah is a simple 3-step system. Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Soak and exfoliate 

It’s time to treat your feet. Run a bath or just set up a small basin with warm water. Let the water soften your feet while you take some deep breaths and enjoy the moment. Use your Heelalujah pumice stone to gently remove dead skin from your feet. 

Step 2: Moisturise with Heelalujah Balm 

It’s called a ‘miracle’ balm for a reason. Wind up your stick of Heelalujah foot cream and apply it to your feet. No need to get sticky fingers! 

Step 3: Pop on your Heelalujah Sockettes 

Now for the final sprinkling of magic. Put on your Heelalujah Sockettes, which feature a silicone heel pad to keep the balm right where it should be and nowhere it shouldn’t (shoes, sheets and floors). 

So, there you have it! Cracked heels might be a nuisance, but they're not here to stay. With proper care and a little help from Heelalujah, you can bid adieu to those pesky cracks and say "Heelalujah" to healthier, smoother feet. No more worrying about how long it takes to heal – just kick up your heels and enjoy the relief!
