Signs and Symptoms
The most common locations for sweaty sock syndrome include:
  • Big toe
  • Ball of the foot
  • Heel
The creases between the toes (toe webs) are not usually affected.

Sweaty sock syndrome occurs as shiny, red patches on the weight-bearing surfaces of the feet. The skin appears tight and smooth. Occasionally, painful cracks (fissures) may be present. Even though children may complain of heavy sweating, the skin feels dry and scaly.
