HeelTastic Intensive Heel Therapy, Foot Care

I am one that prefers to be barefoot and have since a child. What that led to was extremely dry, calloused heels that would develop deep cracks that sometimes become painful and bleed. Between the abuse of walking around barefoot and the fact that I was picking up every kind of unseen foot fungi left behind by other cracked feet, my heels were a severe embarrassment and at times I couldn't bear to walk. I have tried everything there is, mechanical and topical, and though I love the invention of the ped-egg, it still did not cure the problem, but HealTastic sure has! HeelTastic has dimethicone listed as the active ingredient, with a couple dozen other natural oils. It has no perfumes added, only the rich smell of herbs with a camphor-like smell. They have really hit on a magic combination that IMMEDIATELY (within hours!) soothes my cracked, bleeding heels and begins to soften them. Always use under socks since it is very greasy, but the twist-up applicator makes it possible to apply neatly without getting it on your hands. I found that if I use this product nightly and always wear socks to prevent picking up the fungus that actually causes the condition, my feet remain completely healed! However, over the years of walking around my home barefoot when I had the fungus, I have spread it invisibly all over the carpets, so I will pick it up again by going barefoot, so continued use of the product is necessary. The bonus to using HeelTastic is that I had one toenail that was unsightly for years, even after using both over the counter and prescriptions for the fungus, it remained yellow, thick, and ugly. I got some of the HeelTastic on the nail a few times, rather unintentionally. I always kept my toenails polished to hide this ugly thing, but after a while, I noticed the nail had completely healed! I really believe in this product, nothing else works to relieve painful, cracked, dry, unsightly heels and toenails like this stuff! If I was banished to a desert island and could only take one thing with me, it would be this! It's that good!

This has made my dry feet soft again. I also get calluses; and this ointment keeps them soft, and for the dead skin able to wash off with a washcloth in the shower. This has been a complete foot changer, making my feet more comfortable during the day, as I’m very active. Now I don’t notice foot ache where calluses are, or foot fatigue as the rough skin was rubbing against my socks. Just wow, happy feet! It may be a bit expensive, however, you’re only using a tiny bit per use. A little bit goes a long way and it penetrates the skin like no other product has. My feet look nice again.

I love it! I've been struggling with deep heel cracks for years and have tried everything. I've slept with socks on, worn closed shoes and used every cream and scrubber I could find out there. Nothing worked for more than a few days and the cracks would return. Living in such a dry climate doesn't help either. On the recommendation of my sister I tried this product and am pleased with the results. It's a bit smelly (though not as bad as described in the negative reviews) but the magic of this product is that even after not using it for a few days and wearing open shoes, my heels didn't get terribly dry and cracked as they have in the past. I am going to stock upon this stuff, just in case it's ever discontinued. I no longer have to soak my feet for hours in hot water to soften up the skin then scrub it to get the dead skin off. Heeltastic does it all with one swipe! It works well for me and I love it, strong herbal scent, greasy feet and all. I don't even have to wear socks at night and I wake with nice soft feet.

Wow, this stuff seriously works. I have been using beeswax on my heels for a few months and it wasn't creating as much of an improvement as I hoped. I decided to try this stuff out and within a few days, my feet were smooth. I'm a distance swimmer who spends hours in the pool (chlorinated) every day and my feet suffer from it. Nothing has helped- even weekly visits to the podiatric surgeon for skin treatments weren't helping. So I wasn't expecting much from this, and I was SHOCKED when I took off my socks and my feet were smooth. The one caveat? This heal balm smells REALLY strange and it's a very very strong smell that permeates everything. If the dictionary were scratch and sniff, this would be the smell next to the words "old-timey liniment" (not that "old-timey linament" would be in the dictionary, but I hope you know what I mean). And the smell gets all over your socks and shoes. So it's not exactly something you want to apply before a hot date or an important business meeting. Better to do it before bed. Regardless of the scent, this stuff works. It's so potent sometimes I skip a day to let my feet have a chance to un-moisturize. Highly recommended.

If the size was bigger, I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise, this is a great product. My husband suffers from dry, cracked feet (especially his heels) pretty much year-round, and this stick helps relieve his pain & discomfort.

I buy this item because my wife's care givers suggest it. They are the experts.

I have had hard scaly skin on my feet for many years. Left untreated painful cracks would appear on my heals leading to an uncontrollable urge to scratch and peel the skin, making things worse. Over the years I have tried many creams and abrasive products to remove the chapped skin. None of them really worked. Heeltastic is the only product I have tried that really works for me. I found that the best way to use it is to apply it after a shower, when your skin is somewhat moisturized, and then wear socks for a couple of hours till it gets absorbed. Smoothing the skin once a week with a pumice stone after soaking your feet in warm water will speed up the recovery process. There are several unique advantages of this product over the creams I have tried: 1. The handy twist-advanced applicator means your hands stay clean since you do not have to touch the stuff at all. I just apply it to the rough areas, and rub my feet against each other to work it in. 2. This product is waxy as opposed to creamy, so it is not absorbed as readily, which is why you should wear socks after application. However I think this is the key to its success. It also does not dry out so I do not have to apply it more than once a day and my skin stays soft and supple even if I stop using it for a day or two. With the creams, my skin would turn hard again after 6 hours.

Great for heels, but also for any cracked or dry skin. I sometimes get a crack on a finger. I have dry skin and sometimes rub it on my lower legs if they are very dry. It is thick, and includes waxes. I wouldn't use it on my face unless, perhaps, I lived in Antarctica. :-) It includes all kinds of interesting ingredients and has a natural scent of essential oils. I put it on thick and massage it in and then use a dry washcloth to remove any extra. Some might prefer to use a sock for a while after till it fully absorbs. Some bad cracks may take more than 1 day's application to be cured, but it has not failed me yet. My best treatment for the bad cases.
