Tips for peeling feet?
In other earth-shaking news, the bottoms of my feet, now that I'm in sandals for the summer, are peeling horribly. I tried a pumice stone on the rough patches and slathering Vaseline on them at night; but they are not in the least impressed by my efforts.

Vaseline isn't actually a moisturizer - it seals the pores but doesn't actually absorb.

Soak your feet for 20 minutes in warm water. Scruff off as much of the dead skin as you can--I usually go at it several times, soaking the foot I just worked on while I scrape gently at the other one, by turns. I don't use pumice, nor loofah--I have a pedicure rasp with a rough side and a fine side that I bought at a local spa. It's really worth the money. I also trim my toenails, if needed, as it's much easier when they're soft from soaking in the water.
Pat your feet dry and immediately slather them with some kind of ointment or lotion. Then pull socks on to protect your sheets, and to keep the lotion on your feet. Sleep in them!

I had the same problem, and just looked down to notice it's returning. I was sort of hoping walking barefoot in wet sand would accomplish the same thing, but no.
Rough stuff on wet skin followed by gooey stuff. Maybe covered with socks at bedtime if house is cool and sheets are clean. Maybe not.

I've also got a skin condition that makes them itch horribly, so my doctor wrote me a prescription for .5% hydrocortisone in Eucerin Cream, it's wonderful stuff.
