I've been using a metal callouse remover/foot file, however last time I went to town on the I went a bit overboard and they were very tender for days.

I've also been moisturising daily, and wearing socks and closed in shoes as often as I can [emoji87]

Put some Vicks (menthol rub) over the whole area and put on a pair of socks.
 
Vicks is just Vaseline with menthol in it. It is an occlusive so won't help at all.
Cracks that deep need treatment from a chiropodist as they can easily get infected.
To prevent them in future get regular pedicures with a callus peel treatment and use a cream containing urea daily.
