paradiceau Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Yep, Bag balm, like mineit said. Apply balm, install socks and hand socks as necessary and retire to a peaceful slumber. Wake up refreshed and ready to beep a biggie! Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek4gold Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The moral of the story for you younger folk is to look after your feet, keep them covered when out detecting. Prevention is better than cure. Nothing quite like dry desert dust to suck moisture from your feet. I am in my 60's & have always kept my feet covered when out detecting & have no signs of cracking. A way would pick with uncovered feet has its own risks too, not to mention dislodged rolling rocks. G4G 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmox Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Mitchel, you are on the right track. Keep on "rasping" off the dry dead skin. Don't try to get it all at once. Every couple of days take some off. In the mean time use your favorite moisturizer. I do like bag balm. In short order you will be tripping the light fantastic. It sure hurts for awhile tho.!!

mn90403 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 I think part of it came about because this summer I used diving booties quite often on the beach hunts. Previously I never let my feet get that wet for so many hours. When I stopped doing that at the end of the summer I had a thick pad built up and it dried too much with wearing the sandals. I thought I had it fixed as I had no problem with it for just about 10 days but now it is back. I think I've learned my lesson and just keep up with it nearly every day.
