These are marvellous, from Sock Shop – a pair of socks that sort out your cracked heels as you walk about in them.
You’re supposed to wear them 8 hours a day for a fortnight to see the full effect, but even walking about for a day in them made a difference to my gnarly old trotters.
I know one is supposed to apply foot cream and then sleep in a pair of socks in the run-up to Spring but I find the sensation of wearing socks in bed just appalling. I can’t be alone.
Beauty Feet also claim that you can wash them 300 times before they lose their powers. 300 times? They’re even quite warm. Good old Sock Shop.

Rarely, I was home all day Saturday and the trotters are looking dire, so I slathered on the heel cream and slimed on a pair of old socks and then the skanky uggs for a day of foot pampering. Might have done the job but it felt DISGUSTING all day. Do these socks feel slimy? Can’t bear the slime-foot.
NOT AT ALL slimy. There is no cream element to them. I don’t really understand how they work tbh
Mkay, shall give them a shot. Heaven knows the feet could use the help. Now, if you could just come up with something that’d wax my legs whilst I slept, I’ll be right on it.
Thank you, thank you! Am ordering these today. Heavily pregnant, my kids couldn’t stop laughing last night as I tried scrubbing my elephant feet with a foot file, hanging on to the bath edge for dear life.
Thanks, sounds like a good tip. My feet ming, so I’ll go give it a go.
I agree about hating the feel of socks in bed! Ekkkkk! Also hate the feel of anything sharp or gratey on my lovely Egyptian cotton. More my hands for me as I’m outdoors have chickles etc… hands (and feet) end up so dry in winter. E45/Dermol.. will have a look for these too. I have gloves with treatment you are supposed to wear for a few hours, or overnight. Sounds similar. Thank you!
I love socks in bed- it’s just the socks plus oil/cream combo that I can’t compute..
Will definitely be giving these a go.
