Well, I put that fancy-smancy cream on and the cashmere socks my mom gave me...did a pretty good job of making them soft, but they are still deeply split open.

I have that same problem often enough. Usually, I end up using Vaseline or Lubriderm, and cover with socks. I have learned to not go around the house without socks on (cuz my feet dry out so badly), but does that stop me?? Nooooo. I still go barefoot all the time, and still wear my sandals and my Clark's all the time, too. Nuthin else fits anymore cuz my feet are swollen.

LOL My feet got swollen so that I wore those classic Berkinstock sandals to church when I was expecting Matthew.

I think wearing my rubber boots in the back yard has done something to exacerbate this.

Gee, I didn't really think about this being such a prevalent problem. I go barefoot all the time too. Years ago someone told me that if I'd rub olive oil on my feet after baths or before bed I wouldn't ever have cracking feet anymore. I do use olive oil now. I still go barefoot and I haven't had a crack in years and years. Don't know if ya'll want to try it or not - it's oily - so put it on when your feet have time to kinda absorb it.
