Default Dry feet?

I've noticed that my feet have been getting dry, especially in-between my toes . Is this athlete's foot?!? It's not really itchy, though.

Could be. You need moisture, dirty feet, and poor ventilation for athlete's foot typically. Do you typically wear sandals or shoes?

Close-toed, even everyday. I'm usually bare-foot at the house, though. I shower daily, usually right after training.

Try some lotion. It shouldn't make things much worse if it is athlete's foot.

If its not itchy, its most likely not athletes foot. Get some foot lotion. Hand lotion is good, but foot lotion is thicker to help get through the thicker skin on the underside of your foot. Your skin could be drying out from lack of moisture in the air if you live in a colder climate right now or maybe you have hard water in your house. Those two things will dry skin out.
