My feet are never ever soft, but that's a lack of going for a pedicure and nothing else! My dad has developed neuropathy in his feet due to nerve compression in his spine (he has had multiple back surgeries in the past few years), but he's also in the early stages of Lewy Body Syndrome (a type of dementia that affects motor control), so it's hard to gauge what is neuropathy and what is just body movement issues.
