    BackgroundFoot dermatitis from the shoes is a common disorder.MethodsPatients with foot complaints seen at the Contact Dermatitis Unit, Department of Dermatology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine between May 2001 and May 2002 were evaluated.ResultsFour patients with foot dermatitis from shoe allergens were found. Their clinical and patch test results of shoe contact dermatitis were reviewed. We also summarized the standard test allergens for shoe dermatitis. All four patients were treated with topical corticosteroid creams and were informed about patch test-positive materials.ConclusionsPatients with foot dermatitis from shoes should undergo patch testing to exclude other causes of foot dermatosis. Contact dermatitis from shoes can be managed by the recognition and avoidance of the allergens responsible. The control of hyperhidrosis and the use of topical and systemic corticosteroid therapies may also be beneficial.
