If your feet are very dry and frequently crack, it's generally recommended to start by soaking them regularly to soften the skin. You can soak your feet every night in warm water, adding a small amount of white vinegar to the water. White vinegar helps soften dead skin cells and remove impurities, leaving the skin on your feet smoother and softer. After thoroughly cleaning your feet, evenly apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) moisturizing ointment. Petroleum jelly is an affordable moisturizer; consistent long-term use will make the skin soft and prevent cracking.
