Exfoliate.
I use the Avon Footworks line, they have an exfoliant and a cracked heel relief cream, that's great for those tough spots.
You could try pure baby oil or pure shea butter.
Lotion does wonders!
But if that doesn't seem to help go to a dermatologist and see if they have any suggestions.

used motor oil works wonders!
i usually do lotion or cordizone! cya
CARMEX
Eurcerine Cream it's the best and it's not smelly perfect for men. My husband uses it alot. Then the other one that seems to be working really good is the new GOLD BOND lotion.

If you coat your feet at night before bed and wear socks it should clear them up in a couple of days.
Body Butter from Bath & Body Works is good but it costs $15. So I suggest 100% African Shea Butter.
Treatment and prevention methods for dry skin
If a chronic health condition, such as diabetes (excessive blood sugar levels), is causing the dry skin, the underlying condition must be treated in order to improve the appearance of the skin. In cases where dryness results from a skin disease, such as eczema, a physician may refer the patient to a dermatologist, who specializes in skin disorders, for treatment.

In most cases, though, treatment of dry skin is simple and requires returning moisture to the skin. This can be achieved by using moisturizers (emollients), which help nourish and hydrate the skin, on a regular basis. Many moisturizers contain sunscreen, which helps protect the skin against the sun’s harmful rays. Patients experiencing dry skin are advised to apply moisturizers as often as necessary, especially after bathing, showering or washing the face when the skin is moist. It also should be applied before exercising outdoors, in cold climates and every time the hands are washed.

In addition, people can help keep their skin hydrated and prevent dry skin by:

Limiting bathing time and hot water use.


Using warm water instead of hot water.


Avoiding harsh, drying soaps and powders.


Avoiding scrubbing, rubbing or scratching the skin. This can lead to inflammation and in some cases infection. Skin should be gently patted dry with a towel after a shower or bath.


Moisturizing the home if the air is dry. This can be done by using a humidifier, which helps maintain moisture in the air.


Keep the temperature of the home low. Heat is drying to the skin. As a result, patients may benefit from keeping the temperature below 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius).


Choosing fabrics (e.g., cotton, silk) that do not irritate the skin.


Incorporating a well-balanced diet.


Limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption.


Avoiding or limiting cigarette smoking.


Drinking plenty of water (at least eight 8-ounce glasses) every day.
moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Use Swiss Ives apricot scrub (like 3 bucks at Walmart or drug store. Follow with Vaseline Intensive care lotion (2 bucks). This is a 5 dollar cure and works everytime. :)
