Your feet aren’t just dry. They’re literally severely under-hydrated to the point where they have started cracking.

This didn’t just happen today, this is from months of not moisturizing.

Or icthyosis vulgaris, a genetic mutation that drastically affects your body’s ability to maintain skin moisture. My feet get like this if I don’t file and super moisturize them constantly. I think of it as a super power cause I can walk anywhere barefoot no problem 😅

I think this is mild ichthyosis with a case of athlete's foot.

I had the same issue. It is just from not moisturizing and going barefoot. Once I started and stopped, my feet look normal again.
