Re: heels of feet black, cracked and itchy

These are some butnot all of the questions that come to my mind. You might want to see a podiatrist.

This can be due to a fungal infection. Has the dermatologist done a culture?

As far as allergies go, I would need to see the shoes, know if you wear socks all the time, see if your socks have any stains etc.

Is your blood sugar well controlled? Do your feet sweat a great deal? Are you of normal weight?

The Active Ankle offers flexibility and security. It will feel different from anything you have ever worn for ankle protection. The hinge allows freedom of motion that you may not be accustomed to. Do not mistake this freedom of movement for lack of support. A leading university said, the Active Ankle provides more support (inversion) than the leading air-stirrup brace, the leading lace-up brace, or a tape job.
