I've known people to use it as a remedy to bring down fever. It's supposed to pull the fever down to your feet and take it out of your head. It's worth a try but for colds I think it works best rubbing it on the chest.

No, not on your feet. I actually thought your question was going to ask if that would make your feet soft. :P
You're supposed to put the vicks vapor rub on your chest and breathe the vapors.
Just don't roll over onto your stomach.

Far better to rub your chest and back with Vicks especially before bed.

Well if you have a cold you put it on your chest. But it works really well also for dry cracked feet, if you do use sock with it. Your feet will be like butter.

I always put the Vicks on my chest and it does help me breathe better. Never heard of it on one's feet!

The only thing I know it does, is that it makes the skin on your feet softer.
You can use some on your chest to help ease any difficult breating associated with a cold.

Well seeing that the vapors produced by the medicine are what alleviates the symptoms,and there is no way to breathe from your feet, I would assume someone is trying to pull your chain and get your socks messy.

I have never done that but I have put it on my chest and on my kids and it seems to be of help there.
Peace.

I don't think putting it on your feet does anything but kill foot fungus. However, it helps my son to have the children's variety on his chest when he has a chest cold.
