Cracked heels are a common condition where dry, hardened skin on the heel begins to split. While they may start as a cosmetic issue, deeper cracks can become painful and may even bleed or become infected if left untreated.
At The Foot Clinics, we provide cracked heel treatment across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, helping patients restore skin health, reduce pain, and prevent ongoing splitting.
Cracked heels occur when the skin around the heel becomes dry, thickened, and less flexible. As pressure builds during walking and standing, the skin can split, especially around the outer edge of the heel.

Cracked heels usually keep returning when the skin remains dry or thickened and the pressure through the heel is not reduced. Footwear, standing, and lack of regular skin care often contribute.
Dry skin is usually part of the problem, but pressure, callus build-up, and reduced skin flexibility often play a major role in why heels split.
Treatment may include professional removal of thickened skin, moisturising advice, heel care, and management of the underlying pressure that causes the skin to split.
