A Medical Advisor for Footwear Companies bridges clinical science and product strategy. As a Sports Medicine Podiatrist, I provide real-world expertise in human biomechanics and gait analysis to your development team. My input ensures new products are biomechanically sound, minimize injury risk, and optimize performance. I directly advise on material selection, last design, and midsole geometry from concept to launch.
