They are really looking a bit peculiar. Could you have a vet checking them?
I'm not sure but there could be something fungal involved and one of the feet (last picture) could show the beginning of bumble foot.

It does look quite fungally, it also looks quite similar to hyperkeratosis, an excessive production of keratin.
Unfortunately only a vet would be able to make a diagnosis 100%, but I'd see of they could take a sample to try to figure out what is going on, dry feet like that really runs the risk of developing cracks and progressing into bumblefoot very quickly.
