Foot repair creams from Eucerin, O'Keeffe's and Dr. Scholl's

Despite everything they do for us, it’s easy to neglect your feet. Even if you apply lotion after showering, a lot of the time feet just don’t get the same level of attention arms and legs do. And now that summer is over and people aren’t seeing your toes as much, there’s a good chance you’re going between pedicures for longer periods too.

If your feet are dry and cracked, it’s worth it to get a foot cream specifically made to heal and moisturize. We scoured top retailers reading hundreds upon hundreds of reviews to find the foot creams that shoppers are obsessed with. What came out on top? Keep reading to see 13 best sellers.

This foot cream made with seven different moisturizers

Gold Bond is loved for affordable moisturizing products and this foot cream is especially popular. It’s made with three key vitamins: vitamin E (which can help to lock in moisture), vitamin B (which helps with the appearance of skin) and vitamin C (which can protect against environmental stressors).

Promising review: “Having very rough heels and wearing sandals was embarrassing. This keeps my feet looking very nice.” — Genie

This foot cream that helps loosen dry calluses

Made with shea butter, coconut oil and jojoba oil, this foot cream is formulated to gently exfoliate the skin, making removing dry calluses easier while simultaneously locking in moisture.

Promising review: “I never post reviews, but this product is insane and is absolutely amazing. I have despised my feet for decades, and in more recent months/years they started getting deep cracks in big toes and heels. After rubbing this stuff into my feet and sleeping with socks each night for about a month and a half, my feet are completely transformed. The skin is now freaking SOFT, and healthy, and almost all of the deep cracks have healed and gone away completely… just the deepest one remains, and it’s in the process of healing!!!! Don’t know that I’ve ever tried any product that surprised me so much. Initially really didn’t love using it because it felt incredibly sticky, but I stuck with it and worked on rubbing in really well, and I apply a normal hand cream on hands after using this on feet, which makes hands feel very soft and moisturized and not sticky. THANK YOU” — Anna

This concentrated foot cream that’s safe for sensitive skin

More than 83,000 people have bought and rated this foot cream on Amazon with the vast majority giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Unscented and non-greasy, it’s suitable for sensitive skin.

Promising review: “I am an avid hiker, and because of that, my feet were pretty beat up. Several areas with severe calluses, dry, cracked heels, you name it. I have tried every product under the sun, including all of the popular name brand foot creams and rubs, exfoliating devices… All of it. I bought Healthy Feet because of the reviews and couldn't believe it. It actually works! My feet, for the first time in at least 10 years, are soft, callus-free and look healthy. I put it on every morning before I put my socks on to help it soak in and it has been a complete transformation for my feet. I will buy this stuff for the rest of my life! I can't recommend it enough!” — DeEtta S.

This ointment that softens skin

Technically an ointment and not a cream, this foot product is a best seller (it has more than 53,000 ratings) and it’s easy to see why: You simply massage a few drops into your feet and let it work its magic. You’ll notice your heels soften as you go about your day thanks to the combo of petrolatum and salicylic acid.

Promising review: “I have tested countless foot care products, but Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair Ointment is an exceptional solution for cracked heels and dry feet. My own feet were suffering from severe dryness and painful cracks. Upon applying the ointment just once, I noticed a remarkable difference. The formula immediately soothed and hydrated my skin, alleviating the discomfort.

Over a few days, my feet underwent a dramatic transformation. The cracks began to heal and the skin regained its softness and suppleness. I could finally walk comfortably again without the agonizing pain that had plagued me. This ointment contains a potent blend of active ingredients, including ceramides, shea butter and lanolin, which work synergistically to repair damaged skin, seal in moisture, and prevent future dryness. The thick, creamy texture adheres well to the skin, ensuring prolonged hydration. Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair Ointment is a must-have for anyone with cracked heels or dry feet. Its effectiveness and ease of use make it a lifesaver for summer feet. I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a solution to foot care woes.” — Lisa G.

This shea butter-based foot cream

Made with salicylic acid, shea butter, tea tree oil and vitamin E, this thick foot cream will turn any rough patches silky smooth. The salicylic acid serves as a gentle exfoliant while the tea tree oil calms inflammation and the shea butter and vitamin E moisturize.

Promising review: “I’ve had monster calluses and cracked heels for years. I tried a lot of products. This one works for me. I noticed a huge improvement in just four days. Two weeks and the cracks were gone. Calluses are no longer a problem. It has a light, neutral scent and nice texture. It sinks right in.” — Springhop

This dermatologist-recommended foot cream

If you’ve developed thick calluses on your feet, this dermatologist-recommended foot cream will help soften them right up thanks to the active ingredient, lactic acid. It helps repair splits and cracks quickly, yet gently.

Promising review: “It def works, especially if you use everyday, with visible results after about a week. It’s the only thing that really softens my cracked heels and exfoliates flaky skin and doesn’t feel totally nasty in texture (not too thick or sticky). I like that its not scented but the smell isn’t great, and if you get it in a cut it stings for a bit.

I only wish they made a bigger size so you could buy more in bulk.” — k rose

This maximum strength urea-based foot cream

Urea is a common ingredient in foot cream because it helps remove dead skin cells while binding to water, helping keep skin moisturized. It’s the primary ingredient in this popular option.

Promising review: “I have no idea how I did not know about this product until now. I was watching a dermatologist recommend urea creams on her channel and I decided to give it a try. I suffer from very dry skin but I decided to give it a shot since body oil and generic lotions just never do the trick for as long as I would like. I put this cream all over my feet after a warm shower…really focusing on my heels and then I immediately put on socks and went to bed. I was shocked with the results the next morning. My rough heels were soft and it looked like I just got a pedicure. It’s three days later and my dry heels have only slightly returned.

I will definitely do this trick at least once a week. I personally do not recommend putting this on the body unless you just got out of a warm shower and your skin is still damp. I did notice that when I put it on my dry body, that I must have used too much product and therefore was left with a sticky feeling and slight build up. I am extremely satisfied with the price because other urea creams can be pretty expensive. I definitely will continue to use this product for my feet. Please give it a try so you can feel confident being barefoot or wearing sandals and heels.” — Catie Schooley

Dr. Scholl’s is a big name in the foot game and this foot cream is made to undo the dryness that you may be experiencing in your feet. Made with urea, essential oils and Epsom salt, it’ll keep your feet soft for 24 hours. The peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus scent will have your feet smelling great too!

Promising review: “I haven't had feet this soft since I was in my 20s. This stuff really worked for me. I put it on every morning before I put my socks and shoes on and go to work. At the end of the day, my feet look great and are soft.” — Veronica

This heel balm that treats cracked skin

Unlike some thick lotions, this heel cream is absorbed quickly. Then, it gets to work, softening your feet as you go about your day. It won’t leave behind a greasy residue either.

Promising review: “Nothing has ever worked for my crusty dry heels and big toes but this has urea (I think that’s the name) so it’s like running wax and in your skin and it holds the moisture in. I originally got a tiny bottle of this from Walmart and it actually worked and is super cheap so now I buy on here. I put it on after my shower at night and then let marinate for 10 minutes before putting my socks on. I’ve been using this for about 4 months now and my feet went from deep cracks that would bleed to now fully healed. If I don’t use it for a few days the cracks so start coming back, so this is a lifelong item I’m assuming.” — Deviny

Make a nightly ritual of applying this heel cream before bed and your feet could consistently look like you just got a pedicure. Made with alpha hydroxy acids to smooth skin, your feet will be baby soft.

Promising review: “Literally saved my cracked heels within a week of using it. I have always had really dry and cracked heels and regular lotion or Aquaphor doesn’t do the trick.” — hotchips

This foot gel that doubles as an antifungal toenail treatment

Who doesn’t love a multitasking beauty product? Heal calluses and cracks while preventing the growth of fungi under your toenails — a must if you shower at the gym. Even though you’re hard on your feet, they’ll still look cute!

Promising review: “It is great stuff. You should know not to put it on your whole foot, just the parts with problems. Be sure to always put lotion on after putting on the aura. Next morning wash it off and more lotion. It got rid of my ugly crack heels in one week. I will use this once a month to keep my heels smooth. Thanks for this great product.” — Becky
