 I'm afraid they've all got a crack, Martin. They're not too bad and I've not tried to treat them other than regular rubs with raw lanolin in the hope that it'll reduce the chance of the cracks worsening. I must have read somewhere that that helps. I've just seen soaking in baby oil recommended as a lengthy treatment. (
