Summary 102 children with dermatitis predominantly affecting the weight‐bearing areas of the feet, are described. Despite a clinical appearance suggestive of an allergic contact dermatitis, only thirteen children had positive patch tests to any substance in the European battery, or to constituents of their own footwear. The relationship of this condition to two similar dermatoses in the literature is discussed.
