<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>You might try a product called Super Salve. It's a heavy balm-type of ointment made from olive oil and other natural / herbal ingredients. Worked great on my cc's this winter. Tends not to fully "soak in" for a number of hours, so the callouses remain supple and cease to expand, setting the stage for healing. Best of all, it's made by a small, family operation based out of the ghost town of Mogollon New Mexico, on the western edge of Gila Country.</DIV>

<DIV>I am a big fan of a cream/lotion called Aquaphor. It even comes in tiny tubes great for the trail. It is the fastest thing I've found for healing cracks and saved me on the CDT. </DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail><BR>While hiking, and at home, I use 200 grit wet/dry sand paper (the expensive kind with black backing). I can be reused many times and when it gets too dirty I simply wash it off. It actually feels better when soaked. I do this as a daily routine to prevent the cracking along with the Superglue. This summer I am going to try a new technique of not bringing camp shoes. I noticed that when in town my feet would crack. All winter long I were shoes and socks and I get no cracks. I will apply that this summer. Remember that everybody's feet are different.....mine certainly are.<BR><BR>Trowler<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Cdt-l mailing list<BR><A href="http://us.mc01g.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Cdt-l@backcountry.net" target=_blank rel=nofollow>Cdt-l@backcountry.net</A><BR><A href="http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/cdt-l" target=_blank
