The Common Cause of Cracked Heels
February 25th, 2010
There are numbers of causes to this what is known as cracked heels one of these are due to not wearing shoes and in those who are overweight and in those who have dry and thick skin around the edges of the heel. We all have a fat pad under the heel that wants to expand out sideways when we walk and stand. The more fat there is, the more expansion there will be. The purpose of the shoe is that it will help hold the fat under the heel. And if happens that the skin is dry and not supple, it will want to crack as it expands. If there is some thick skin around the heel, then these cracks will become deep.
