add me sought of, I have never had a problem with my heels, live in masseurs the smooth ones... or open heeled sandals rarely if ever wear closed in shoes even in winter except my ugg's... anyway during the last month of my pg I was wear those thongs things ( supermodel name begiining with G) ones and OMG my heels were shocking, I started using a heel balm in dec and my feet while not back to normal are so much better after reading this thread reminded me to pull it out again, use it at night with socks...
