Foot mycoses are a frequent disease that represents a public health problem worldwide.<jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiology of foot mycoses among Tunisian patients, in order to determine the fungal etiological agents and to identify possible risk factors.<jats:italic>Patients and Methods<\/jats:italic>. A prospective study of three hundred and ninety-two patients was undertaken during one year (2013-2014). All subjects were asked to collect demographic data related to the risk factors of foot mycoses. A complete mycological diagnosis was carried out on all patients.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A total of 485 samples were collected; tinea pedis and tinea unguium were confirmed in 88.2% of cases. Dermatophytes were isolated in 70.5% and the most frequent pathogen was<jats:italic>Trichophyton rubrum<\/jats:italic>(98.1%), followed by yeasts (17.7%) commonly<jats:italic>Candida parapsilosis<\/jats:italic>. Non-dermatophyte molds (NDMs) were observed in 8.02% cases and<jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>sp. was the frequent genus (29.1%). The main predisposing factors of fungal foot infections were practicing ritual washing (56.6%) and frequentation of communal showers (50.5%).<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This is a recent survey of foot mycoses in Tunisia. Epidemiological studies can be useful to eradicate these infections and to provide further measures of hygiene and
