Is it bad to have really ashy feet?

Dry feet: Yes. It can be very bad to have dry feet. Your feet can dry out to the point where they crack open (like the dry desert earth). When this happens there can be open sores. Open sores on your feet are never good due to the fact that there is a high potential for infection. Do the easy thing and use hydrating lotion daily.
