I think my feet usually look pretty good! 'Specially when I have the toenails painted red. Steve (who prefers I wear nothing like that...no polish, no make-up) just shakes his head every spring when I show up with my blazing red toenails! LOL I don't care...I do it every spring and all summer long.
But I've been running around a lot in these rubber boots this year...moreso than ever before because of the chicken poop. I think it must be the boots.
It may be the rubber boots. I used to wear 'em riding, and I used to have all sorts of trouble with cracking, scaling, itching, etc. Do you think you might have a really bad case of athlete's foot?
If ya gotta wear the boots, I would wear polypro liner socks and wool socks outside of that to keep the perspiration from parboiling your feet.
