Maybe you just have dry feet.  Try putting shea butter or cocoa butter on them after you shower.  Then put on a pair of white socks and let the shea butter or cocoa butter work their magic.  Do this everyday and after you bathe.  Then after a few weeks, your feet will be soft.

rachael is correct about the molds helping out tremedulously.\n\nIn the meantime, wear comfortable shoes like tennis shoes with good arch support and a thick sole.  Don't go bare foot.  Anti-inflammatories like motrin and aleve could help.  Soak foot in ice water.\n\nSteroid shot.\n\nPeople also use heel boots.  Heel boots have a thick heel insert so you are walking solely on your heels.  When you normally walk, the heal touches down first and then the ball of you foot.  This stretches your arches and the fascia.  When the fascia is stretched, the area with the problem gets irritated and pain result.  Heel boots prevent this normal walking cycle and forces you to just walk on you heels.  That allows the problem area to rest and hopefully heal.  Unfortunately, people sometimes suffer for months on end with this problem.\n\nHope this helps and good luck

I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)

You could try a crack ointment like Johnson & Johnson's First Aid. To keep them loist, lotion your feet at night, but don't remove the lotion. Instead, put socks on and sleep with the lotion on. When you wash it off in the morning, your feet will be soft & supple.

You can try bone lengthening - that is by increasing the height of the femur bone (in your leg) by a few inches...but its quite painful, an you will need to be using crutches until it heals.\n\nThe best method is to use artificial methods, like heeled shoes

I suggest you to have a relaxing Indian massage (that is called ayurvedic) and, after that, a massage on your feet. It is Chinese and it is called "reflexology".\nAfter that drink some green tea, listening to a very soft music.\nAnother thing that is great is to watch a very funny movie and laugh. Laughing is one of the best thing you can do to relax.\nGood massage!

to remove dead skin cells, use a foot scrub. You may also use a foot soak, that's in warm (not boiling) water. soak your feet then scrub afterwards, paying attention to rough areas. there are lots of brands you can use. u can even try rock salt (but be careful in scrubing) with olive oil.

Learn to defend yourself.. martial arts, or keep a brick in your purse, so when you swing it... ouch. Swiss army knives are good to have, as well, but only in close combat.... high heels and pointy toes are good. Screw metal onto your heel of the shoe. guys or girls. Metal hurts when you squish somebody's foot, it has happened to me... Preferably something sorta like tap shoes would work.

Try a lotion you can probably get from most pharmacies called Zim's Crack Creme.  It's a horrible name, but it works really well.  You might also want to treat yourself to a pedicure that includes a parafin wax treatment.  Exfoliate your feet with a pumice stone, lotion your feet at least twice daily, and wear cotton socks to bed after you've lotioned.  Also try to lotion after you bathe, as your skin will be softer and it will be easier to absorb moisture.  Lotions with tea tree extracts are great for feet too.  Pamper them- they do all the work all the time.  They're worth it. :)

For organic advice...eat properly, Drink milk (Vit. D and Calcium), take your vitamins (esp. B vitamins), do stretch exercises, and if all fails wear heightened shoes.

soke your feet in hot water with salt in it-that has worked for me but do not bust the blisters that may allow infection to get in. dry your feet and cover the blister with a non sticky pad  and put on your socks. when you go to bed. it has worked for me and i am 55 years old.
