Dry Heels Aren’t Just a Winter Problem
When people think of dry, cracked heels, they usually blame cold weather. And it’s true — winter air can strip away moisture, leaving skin flaky and painful. But dryness doesn’t take a vacation.
Come summer, your feet face an entirely different set of challenges: sandals, heat, and bare feet on dry surfaces. That’s why cracked heels can happen year-round, no matter the season.
Winter Heels: Why Cold Weather Dries Skin
In winter, your feet are exposed to:
-
Low humidity indoors and outdoors → Dry air pulls moisture from skin.
-
Hot showers and heating systems → Both dehydrate skin faster.
-
Thick socks and boots → Trap sweat, then dry out heels when removed.
The result? Heels that become rough, cracked, and painful, especially if not consistently moisturized.
Summer Heels: Different Season, Same Dryness
Summer comes with its own heel-damaging habits:
-
Open-backed shoes and sandals → Expose heels to friction and dust.
-
Walking barefoot → Removes natural protective oils from skin.
-
Heat and sweat → Evaporation leaves heels parched and flaky.
That’s why many people are surprised to notice heel cracks in the middle of summer — dryness doesn’t disappear with the sun.
