These 'magic' moisturizing socks can cure cracked heels — they're on sale for $7 a pair

Yahoo17-04-2025
Walking on eggshells, walking on broken glass — any kind of foot pain is so brutal that it's become a universal metaphor for discomfort. And 20 percent of adults in the United States have experienced the very specific foot torture of cracked heels. If you're among these millions of sufferers, it's time to meet your sole mates: Dr. Frederick's Original Moisturizing Heel Socks. Just in time for summer sandal prep, you can grab two pairs on sale at Amazon for $14.
While you can't put a price tag on comfy feet, we'll try! Getting a pedicure or spa treatment to fix cracked heels can cost a pretty penny. But, thanks to these socks, you'll get the same results without spending a fortune. Right now, you can score this two-pack for just $14 — that means one pair will set you back only $7. How's that for a steal?
Dr. Frederick's Original Moisturizing Heel Socks are lined with SootheFast Gel, a pain-relieving gel that not only moisturizes, helping to ease soreness, but also encourages the skin to regenerate.
In addition to the medicinal oils contained in the socks' soft fabric, you can add your favorite foot cream and let those babies soak. Think your heels are tough? These socks are tougher — with or without added moisturizers, they go to town on rough, dry skin while you quite literally kick back, relax, watch TV, read a book or go to sleep. It's the most hands-off way possible to restore your heels to their former glory.
Another plus: These are one-size-fits-most and safe for sensitive skin. They're also breathable and won't overheat your feet, according to many reviewers, especially because they don't cover your toes. When you're done, just pop them right in the washing machine and stroll out the door in pain-free bliss!
If you've tried a million ways to fix your cracked heels and walk pain-free, join the club. That's what most of the product's nearly 10,000 five-star reviewers have in common: the kind of desperation that led them to Dr. Frederick's.
"I have tried a number of different things, including plastic foot booties used for pedicures. These silicone heel socks do the trick," said one impressed shopper. "Wear these nightly to say goodbye to cracked heels and hello to soft feet."
"These have healed my super-gnarly heels!" said another. "After about two months of using these nightly, paired with using Keresal intensive foot treatment, my once VERY thick and VERY CRACKED heels are starting to look somewhat normal. They're still not 100% up to my wishes, but I don't have any cracks, and my heels no longer look terrible. I would say within a few more weeks of regular use and gentle pumice stone use, my thick heel calluses will be 100% gone."
"What kind of magic is this?" asked a stunned reviewer. "The socks, for me, fit perfectly. Hugging my heel with the silicone sitting perfectly in place. I went to sleep and woke up hopeful. I removed the socks and my eyes widened. It was like someone came in the middle of the night and replaced my dry ugly heels with that of a 20-year-old woman! Smooth. Almost no cracks!"
Another shocked shopper said: "What a relief! All I can say is wow. My feet were so painfully dry since it has gotten cold. No matter how much I lotion my feet, they would still get dry and cracked, and I needed relief. I honestly didn't think I would be so blown away by the results in literally two to three days. My feet feel amazing."
Shoppers didn't find many downsides to these socks, but some did say they were a bit snug.
"I don't really like walking on them as the gel pad moves around and feels strange. They're also a little tight across my feet, but I have wide feet," remarked one customer.
And while these are socks, they are full of moisturizers, so one reviewer cautioned users to be careful when moving around: "I want to moisturize my heels but hate wearing socks to bed. This solves the problem. ... Be careful though ... slippery walking on a tile floor."
Need a little extra help taming those heels? Over 64,000 shoppers love this foot cream.
"This cream really works on your feet," one five-star reviewer explained. "Makes them soft and smooth. Doesn't have any odor, is not greasy and absorbs quickly and well. Helps to get rid of calluses and dry skin on heels. Works well at night, put it on and wear socks to bed. Gives you happy feet!"
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Forget Apple Watch, Google Pixel Watch 3 Costs Less Than Black Friday Price for Android Users

There are some excellent smartwatches out there, but if you want to get one of the best ones, you could be staring at a pretty hefty price tag. After all, while tech does get cheaper as it becomes easier to access, the cutting edge also continues to be at the forefront of things, meaning it still costs a lot. Thankfully, you can find some amazing deals if you don't mind keeping an eye out for them. Amazon currently has the Google Pixel Watch 3 at 20% off. This means that instead of the usual $400 price tag, you can get it for $320. That's a nice saving, but this is also a limited-time deal, which means that it's not likely to last very long. See at Amazon Smartwatches these days have gone far beyond what they used to do. It used to be that you could just check notifications on them, but you can do that, respond to messages, keep an eye on your health, and even get advice from some of the best smartwatches out there, and the Google Pixel 3 is definitely one of the best. It's especially good if you're already in the Google ecosystem with a Pixel phone too. The Google Pixel Watch 3 is on sale in a few different colors, and the beautiful screen is not only larger than the previous models, but also brighter, making it far more legible. Some of us need glasses, so this is a big win. You can check all of your notifications and respond to them on the watch itself, but a lot of the best features are tied to health tracking. This watch can track your heart rate. keep an eye on your sleep, and even tell you when you should or shouldn't exercise. It also shows you how much harder you could push yourself if you wanted to, and it can help you build custom workouts and get advice while you're out there pounding the pavements. It means that you'll have your own personal trainer strapped to your wrist, which can be a huge help if you're somebody who needs external motivation to stay focused. There's no doubt that this smartwatch is worth $400, so being able to get it for $320 instead is a chance you shouldn't miss out on, assuming you're interested. Just make sure you're quick though, or the deal will run out before you realise it and it'll be gone. See at Amazon

This breakfast sandwich maker is 'better than my local drive-thru' — and it's on sale on Amazon

Want to streamline your morning routine? Shoppers call the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker the "perfect" tool. Morning routines can be pretty fast-paced, which usually results in a quick, not always nutritionally-dense breakfast (sugary cereal, anyone?). Fast food is an easy alternative, but often chock-full of grease and unhealthy additives — plus, eating out adds up — so it's not something you want to get in the habit of. If you are looking for an easy way to speed up your breakfast routine, plus make it a bit healthier, something like the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker is worth looking into. In just five minutes, you can whip up a delicious breakfast sandwich tailored to your taste and dietary needs. English muffin with sliced ham? It can do that. Bagel with eggs? That's an option, too. Not only does it accommodate a variety of bread types, but it's also super easy to use and clean. Interested? We thought you would be. Keep scrolling to learn more and score one on sale from Amazon Canada for 20 per cent off. How it works The Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker is built with four different layers to help cook your breakfast sandwich to perfection. Just choose your bread and layer on eggs, cheese, precooked meats or any other ingredients of your choosing. Add any type of bread, like a bagel, English muffin or biscuit, and then add your meat and cheese to the bottom layer of the sandwich maker. The cooking plate acts as the second layer and cooks a fresh egg. Add the other piece of bread to the top layer and let your sandwich cook. Once your egg is cooked, you'll need to slide the plate out from under to assemble your sandwich. All removable parts are dishwasher safe, and each surface is covered with a durable, nonstick coating. The gadget features an audible tone timer, so you'll know when it's ready to eat. Cooking for two? Shop the Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker for $50 What reviewers have to say 4.6-star rating 5,600+ reviews "Total set-it and forget-it breakfast maker" If you're looking for a way to streamline your morning routine, the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker is "perfect," according to one five-star Amazon reviewer. It's "easy to use, quick and easy to clean up," comments one user. It "works perfect" — "would recommend!" $40 $50 at Amazon "I use this sandwich maker just about every workday," writes another. "The breakfast sandwiches are better than my local drive-thru restaurants." Plus, it "saves me money" because I buy my own ingredients and "I have control over what goes into my sandwich nutrition-wise." It's a "brilliant product," they add. The Hamilton Beach appliance is "not just a sandwich maker," but a "total set-it and forget-it breakfast maker," writes a third Amazon shopper. It's easy to use and quick, so it's a "fantastic thing for my mornings." While the vast majority of Amazon shoppers give the sandwich maker a perfect five-star rating, some warn it can "leak a lot" and caution that it only allows for a "very limited amount of ingredients." 5 other really good kitchen deals on Amazon Canada
