Welcome to firmfooted!
As a board-certified podiatrist with over a decade of experience in sports medicine, I've dedicated my career to analyzing human movement and treating the injuries that sideline athletes. My work has given me a unique, data-driven perspective on the crucial link between foot health and product performance.
At FirmFooted, my goal is to translate that perspective into actionable solutions. I’m creating this platform to be a key resource for both the casual reader and the footwear industry, blending my perspectives and expertise.
My Mission: the Footwear Industry
I partner with companies to apply thoughtful clinical knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, and gait pathology to product design and materials. My mission is to help you engineer health and durability into every product, creating footwear that protects athletes and keeps them at the top of their game. You can see how I apply this expertise to product analysis in The Lab.
My Mission: Everyone Else
Through my blog, Sole Insights, I provide content for the everyday person to learn my perspectives and insights on living a balanced life from the ground up. I'll dive into everything from clinical analysis to in-depth shoe reviews and share a bit of my personal perspective along the way. If I help even one person feel more confident in choosing their next shoe; mission accomplished.
