Anyone get cracks between their smallest toes?? I seem to get them quite often till I draw blood. I'm the proud owner of a nice blood stained slackline. It's quite nice actually :roll:
Anyways, to who gets the cracked toes, what do you use or do to prevent and treat those pesky cracks. Myself use Bag Balm or Neosporin, depends what i'm in the mood for. But haven't found a way to prevent it yet. I was actually doing quite good till today :cry:
Thanks

Try Vaseline before you go slacklining.
I think that's what boxers use on thier faces before a fight.
if it'll help your skin stay together when Mike Tyson hits you;
it'll help your feet stay together whilst walking on webbing!

BAG BALM, or neo-sporin wrapped in band-aids while you sleep, so you'll wake up to mushy toes.

I used to have painful cracks, but use Dr. Scholls Cracked Skin Repair Creme and it got much better.
After it gets beter, switch to Dr. Scholls Ultra Overnight Foot Creme and it will stay gone.
I'd tried most of the other stuff listed, but this worked much better. It works on split fingertips too.

Hmm, this is interesting. I never get cracked toes. What's it from, just dry skin?

Nahhh, my feet are just really dry and sometimes the whip of the line will stretch the toes and split them when i fall off. Then comes the blood !!

boxers use vaseline because it makes punches slide off. I would not recomend putting it on your feet before slacking unless you want to slip off.
Try wearing shoes untill your feet heal.

My toes crack and bleed when I slackline too. I either pre-tape my toes or wear shoes. I'm still getting the hang of slacking in my Chuck Taylors.
