A buddy of mine took this pic the other day in NW Indiana...

I've found using a palm sander works wonders - 80 grit. The palm sander has no effect on soft skin but readily reduces calluses; if there's a painful crack pretty much the only way I've found to deal with it is to reduce the callus around it because the flexing on either side of it will keep the crack going otherwise and by getting everything soft again it can heal.

It shouldn't need to be said but
Don't use a belt sander.

(I used to use a belt sander and it was super effective but unfortunately you do have to be very careful because it doesn't care if the skin is hard or soft)

I'll have to get some vaseline and give that a try; other lotions haven't seemed to help me much.

I use a dremel tool with the small drumb sanding attachment.
Takes the dry hard stuff off quickly and easy to handle and get into small areas.
Mine has a variable speed so you don't go too deep too fast.
Have to do it outside or somewhere you don't care about the dust.
First coat is Polysporin and then vasaline.

I retired in 2005, even though I was a crane operator and didn't work very hard I had calluses on my heels. For the next 12 years dried skin would peel off of my calluses. Worst part was when in the winter dry air they would crack. Very painful.

I tried some OTC medicines that didn't work. I happened to mention this to my neighbor and he brought me a sample of this cream called No Crack. I used it and in 1 or 2 days it was all healed. I've used it every winter for years.

My heels no longer crack, but once in a while I get a bad crack in my finger tip and use No Crack, which works wonders.

Edit: On my heel I would put it on a large square Band-aid. Also I bought my bottle online, but can't remember where.

For badly callused heels, I use these, with a battery powered drill. Work great, as long as the skin is real dry and you move around before you burn yourself.

Likely, but not certain death.

Here in the SF Bay region a trucker outran a river of burning gasoline when he crashed in a tunnel, years ago.

On TV I've seen firefighters outrun an explosion, keeping just in front of the fireball. They must just ride the shockwave.

It’s hilarious when in a movie the “hero” outruns the blast from an explosion. Thats somewhere between 5000’ and 25000’ per second.

Must be wearing the right shoes.
