Flaky feet and useless shoes

So, the feet have been pretty good--with respect to skin, at least--this fall. But in the last week or so, my ankes have neen inflamed. They are red, a lttle spotty, and itchy--terribly itchy at times. Mostly just the inner sides, and from the sole to just past the anke bone.
And my right foot has developed flakes, kind of post-blistery. On the arch and between the little and second-last toes. Weird!

The foot bones are another issue. The bunions are a big nuisance and all the other parts seem unhappy, too.
I bought a new pair of shoes a few weeks ago. They were perfect in the store. Clark's, soft leather, in a metallic shade, flats.  But the first time I wore them they were too big and floppy, until my feet swelled up and they were uncomfortable in other ways. I've tried to wear them once in a while, to get used to them, but it is very discouraging! And I thought they were going to be my dancing shoes.
