Hello Superg327,


How many people in the US suffer from cracked heels or heel fissure? 


According to Dr. Jerome Z. Litt, Assistant Clinical Professor of
Dermatology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in
Cleveland, more than 18 million adults suffer from cracked heels.

Excerpt:

Cracked Heels  ?More than 18 million adults ? and one in every seven
women ? suffer from cracked, painful heels. This is a result of
excessively dry skin, the heels being especially susceptible to
cracking because there are continually subjected to friction and
pressure.?
