I have recently moved to the US and ever since i moved i am facing this problem of having my feet soles itch like crazy. I know this is not athelete's foot cos i do not have itching on my toes or red bumps. I wear open shoes all the time, and most of the time i stay barefeet at home. My dad used to have a similar problem due to his diabeties, could this be the same? I also moisturize my feet everyday, after bath, so this is not dry skin problem too. the itching gets real severe at times.

It means that you are going to be traveling.

If your father has diabetes, there is a chance that you do too. It's well worth checking.
I'm tempted to say allergies, but that wouldn't explain why only your feet are effected. Talk with a podiatrist or a dermatologist and see if they can think of anything.
Good luck!

last year i had an allergic reaction to something i never figured out with a hives outbreak all over my body and itching for no reason. then one day it just disapeared. its started with itchy feet. go to doctor asap and tell him/her your symptoms. it might be allergies to new socks, shoes, food, anything you are doing differently now that you are in the US. good luck dude
