I’m 30 and have noticeably dry cracked heels. Is there any home remedies people have tried and suggested? I’m thinking of getting Scholl Instant Hard Skin Remover but don’t know whether to trust the online reviews.

Scrub them with a pumice stone in the shower, put moisturiser on after and wear socks. It'll go away soon enough. Try not to go barefoot as much as possible
Go to a podiatrist. Best. Thing. EVER!!!!!!
Also in the shower try Heros Chiropody Sponge from chemist warehouse.
I use the scholl heel balm before bed. I don’t have time to scrub my heels etc so the cream works for me. And the less time your bare foot, the better.
My routine is scrub with my 'ped egg' every night after my shower.
Smother my feet with Bepanthen cream.
If I've neglected my feet for a while and they're super dry, I'll wrap some cling wrap around them.
Then I put on a thick pair of socks and basically let my feet marinate overnight lol.
I personally have also been trying to lose some weight as I know my excess weight doesn't help.
(Not saying this applies to you, just sharing my experience).
Also, if you wear thongs or slides, stop (or at least stop wearing them as much) they're terrible for your heels and feet in general.
I will say though, it is worth seeing your GP. Sometimes cracked heels can be a sign of other health issues.
