I dont know how bad your heels are, but when mine crack enough to bleed, i use superglue to hold the skin together and let it heal.

I only have problems in the summer when I wear lots of flip flops, so I've stopped wearing the rubber/synthetic shoes and it's not been a problem any more. You might want to see a podiatrist, it could be fungal.

It's super easy to take care of your feet with a pumice in the shower, just drop it on the floor and let it get soaked with water while you shower. Then scrub away, with a bit of shower gel or soap. When you get out of the shower, use a moisturizing balm, I like the one by Lotrimin.

Check out the selection of footcare items on soap.com. There are lots of things you can do.
