Generally even very hard dried feet can be revived with some effort. I would suggest that you wrap them in wet paper towels and seal them as well as you can in plastic - wrap with celophane or put in small plastic bags and tape the top - place in the refrigerator (assuming your spouse will not object) and let set for a couple of days - check each day ans see how they are coming. When they start to relax inject with soapy water using a 22 guage needle and a small syringe I start at the end of each toe and work back toward the heel. Although this is not an absolute, it generally works fine. Goos luck
