Wearing socks is the best cure to dry feet in Thailand

I used to have dry feet that were cracking, typically this happens to me in Chiang Mai when the weather starts to get cold, I don't know why the cold weather does that to me (though it's not really that cold) it just does. I basically make sure i wear shoes everwhere and rarely do I wear flip flops. I found that after wearing socks and sneakers everywhere my feet cleared right up and are back to normal. Though I don't think wearing thongs alone are the reason why they were so dry, it was more due to the fact that I would walk all over the place in flip flops. While this isn't a medical remedie it did work for me, though i don't have the other reasons why i get dry cracked feet in Thailand.
