Before discovering the causes, let us first understand what makes the skin on our feet crack. The fat beneath the skin of our feet expands each time we put pressure on our feet. So if the feet are dry, the fat expands as usual but does not get enough room or elasticity to expand comfortably. So due to the dryness, the skin cracks.
