For the last few years, summer has been hell for me because as soon as I wear shoes/sandals without socks or tights, the tops of my feet become inflamed with itchy red bumps, which then turn to flaky skin Any advice about what I can treat my shoes or feet with so that I can actually wear sandals in the heat? I read about someone a while ago who said she could not go to work because she was allergic to shoes- it sounded silly but I know what she means!

there are lots of chemicals/perservatives in shoes that irritate the skin. in the leather or glue.
how are you with flip flop type shoes?
