“…Shoe dermatitis may affect all parts of the foot but the most typical location is the dorsa of the foot and toes, sparing the interdigital spaces; our study confirms the dorsum to be most frequently affected (47.6%). This area, with its large surface area and thin stratum corneum, is especially vulnerable to shoe allergy .…”

“…The screening criteria for shoe dermatitis were as follows: (i) presence of eczema on the area in contact with suspected footwear; (ii) bilateral, symmetrical eruption, corresponding to the design of the shoes such as the contact site of the shoe tips, uppers and sides, soles, heels and sandal straps and (iii) no evidence of fungal infection or of other skin diseases …”

“…A number of patients consented to patch tests with their own shoe materials. These were cut into parts, at least 1 square cm wide and ≤2 mm thick and were moistened with saline before being applied . Patients with negative patch test reactions to shoe allergens but with positive patch test reactions to their own shoe materials were patch tested with an extract from their suspected shoes.…”

“…Epstein supports the importance of patch testing with shoes, and to minimize false negatives, he urges that the following techniques be used: test all footwear, use the upper back as a test site, and use materials of at least 1 cm 2 and less than 2 mm thick. 48 Particular caution should be taken to avoid obtaining false-positive irritant pressure reactions; thus, the shoe pieces being tested should be thin. 1 Table 2 provides a list of relevant patch testing allergens within the TRUE Series, Chemotechnique Diagnostic shoe series, and allergEAZE shoe panel.…”

Foot dermatitis is a widespread condition, affecting men and women of all ages. Because of the location, this condition may present as a debilitating problem to those who have it. Allergic contact dermatitis involving the feet is frequently due to shoes or socks. The allergens that cause shoe dermatitis can be found in any constituent of footwear, including rubber, adhesives, leather, dyes, metals, and medicaments. The goal of treatment is to identify and minimize contact with the offending allergen(s). The lack of product information released from shoe manufacturers and the continually changing trends in footwear present a challenge in treating this condition. The aim of this study is to review the current literature on allergic contact shoe dermatitis; clinical presentation, allergens, patch testing, and management will be discussed. PubMed and MEDLINE databases were used for the search, with a focus on literature updates from the last 15 years.

Background: Chemicals used in leather tanning, rubber processing, and/or adhesives are the most often-cited culprits in footwear dermatitis. Patch testing patients with suspected shoe dermatitis is essential for diagnosis and management.Objectives: The four goals for this study were to (1) determine the frequency of allergens associated with a shoe source in North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) patients with footwear allergic contact dermatitis; (2) compare these results to allergen frequencies from other published studies; (3) quantify the number of shoe-related reactions that were not identified with the NACDG standard series; and (4) identify relevant allergens not included on the NACDG standard series, based on data from other published studies. Methods: The NACDG patch-tested 10,061 patients between 2001 and 2004. Data were retrospectively analyzed by (1) allergen source coded as ''shoe,'' (2) site of dermatitis as ''feet,'' and (3) diagnosis of ''allergic contact dermatitis.''Results: Among the 109 NACDG patients with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) of the foot and a shoe source of allergens, ptertiary butylphenol formaldehyde resin, an adhesive, was the most common allergen, accounting for 24.7% of positive patch-test results, followed by potassium dichromate (17.5%) and carba mix (11.7%). When the data were examined according to groups of allergens, rubber chemicals (40.4%) were the most frequent allergens, followed by adhesives (32.5%), and leather components (20.1%). When data from published studies were pooled, potassium dichromate (31.5%) was the most frequent allergen, followed by p-tertiary butylphenol formaldehyde resin (17.1%) and cobalt chloride (12.9%). NACDG patients were statistically more likely to have positive patch-test reactions to p-tertiary butylphenol formaldehyde resin and statistically less likely to have a positive patch-test reaction to potassium dichromate than patients represented in pooled data from past studies. Nineteen (17.4%) of the 109 NACDG patients with ACD of the foot and a shoe source of allergens were identified as having a shoe source of a relevant allergen not included in the NACDG standard series. Conclusions:In NACDG patients, the most common individual shoe allergen was p-tertiary butylphenol formaldehyde resin. As a group, rubber chemicals were most common, a finding consistent with those of other studies.
