Cracked heels are a common foot problem often referred to as heel fi ssure (Figure 1). Currently, there is no known method to evaluate the performance of anti-cracked heel products. However, a new anti-cracked heel effi cacy test allows products to be evaluated for their performance. With the emergence of skin bioengineering instruments, the hydration and roughness of the skin can be measured. The data, together with image analysis, enable quantitative analysis of cracked heels, and, thus, evaluation of the anticracked heel products.
