Before putting on your favorite sandals for the summer season, take the time to moisturize your feet using Vaseline. Before bed, slather your feet with a thick layer of Vaseline and cover them with an old pair of socks.

The next morning when you remove the socks, your feet will be soft and supple so you can wear your favorite sandals with pride.
