It is not arthritis. It might be happening due to friction between your toes and the shoes you are wearing. Or it could also happen if your skin is too dry. You might feel like rubbing or itching it once in a while.
Next Steps
Use any cold cream over that area to reduce the itching. Scrub your feet properly during your bath. Change your socks daily. Consult a skin doctor.

Definitely get an examination done from a dermatologist first to rule out skin issues.
