A laundry brush and a little soap before hitting the shower. A little pumice stone around the heel (from walking). My skin is generally low maintenance, but if you suffer from dry skin, then I would imagine whatever oil, lotion, or ointment that works for the rest of you will work for your soles.
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about! I don't want to take away from the conditioning my skin already has. I am not having luck finding resources on this.
I sometimes sleep at night with dirty feet after a barefoot run or go with days without washing them. I never put cream or anything on my soles. I like that porcelain shine I get from the streets.

I just scrub my feet with soap using a nail brush (the kind used for manicures). In the winter if my skin is dry I might use a pumice stone around the edge of the heels and rub on a little coconut oil before going to sleep.

I've got to agree with BG. We are trying to run naturally. I think too much soap will remove natural oils. The skin should be naturally soft. Soft skin will stand up better to rough surfaces than hard skin. Just rinse off loose dirt and remove caloused skin with a stone or calous remover. I don't tell my wife if my feet are stained.
I do use coconut oil but just on the crease betweeen my toes and the main "palm" of my foot. Other than that, it would be a big step up for me to wash as nicely as TJ, with or without the brillo pad.
I use Vaseline Intensive Care lotion after washing my feet before bed, only to help with the skin that's already peeling on the sides of my heels. Believe me it does nothing good or bad for the tough skin on the soles of my feet.
Wash with dish soap to remove tar, then regular soap. Random;y on a night preceding a no-run day I'll use a hemp foot cream to keep skin from chapping and cracking. Hemp balm sounds manly .
Same here....when she first discovered I was using the loofa for removing foot dirt she wasn't exactly happy, but she also realizes that I am only trainable at the simplest of tasks and then only in a limited quantity. So, she decided against engaging in the battle for the loofa and bought herself a separate one.
I never use cream or anything either for my feet.
