It depends on what's wrong. I typically use a foot wheel.
Roll the bottoms of your feet with a Lacrosse ball and a golf ball. These are very inexpensive and do a good job.
Crocs, Rubz Ball, heel drops, technical fabric socks for running, good shoes, heated foot whirlpool

I just pick at my feet and throw the dead skin at the cat.

You and Buelligan win.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

Ecco dress shoes.
VFF house slippers.
Nails trimmed and filed, more to preserve the toes of my hoity-toity Injinji lightweight toe socks than for vanity/comfort.
I keep looking at toe spreader thingies (like THESE or THESE), but I can't bring myself to actually buy/use them.
Food
As a minimalist runner I think stretching and flexing the feet and ankles is important. I do toe stretches similar to the picture, but standing (in the shower) with the toes against the tub wall. I also sometimes curl the toes downward, at least when the feet are not threatening to cramp. Flex ankles in all directions (left, right, in out, etc.).

I do nothing special for my feet. I just go on with life. I run some too. They seem to do okay.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
