1. Superglue for a cracked heel?

It buys four days. It is what happens after the callus has already split.

2. Why is Vaseline ruining my running socks?

Merino wicks, so the balm spends the night in the sock. This is the one that explains the rest.

3. Should runners remove calluses?

Keep or file is not the real question. Thick and supple is armour. Thick and dry is a plate, and plates split.

4. Why do my heels keep splitting?

Because the callus has gone dry and rigid. See question two.

5. So what keeps the balm on?

A sock with a bonded inner face that does not wick. After the run, over whatever you use. It removes nothing. Never race in it.
