Does Any One Know Where I Could Buy Rubber (mbt) And Leather Free Shoes?

Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Could, Does, Free, Know, Leather, Rubber, Shoes, Where

i suffer from contact dermatitis on my feet and allergy testing has shown i am allergic to leather and a rubber called mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), so i need to find shoes that don’t contain either of these things.
impossible so far!!!
i’ve tried clarks, scholls and they contain mbt
any help appreciated!!

Sarah:
I am including a link to a doctor in Orlando Florida that specializes in these types of allergies. He has some great tips for helping you avoid MBT. He suggests certain shoes and even talks about using inserts to avoid contact with rubber if you have a shoe that you love and still want to wear. He also lists lots of other products that include MBT.
It is probably well worth the time to read what he has to say.
