Do you know the difference between extra depth, balance-enhancing, and activity-specific footwear?

Now there's a clear standard and it matters for your practice.

In the latest issue of STRIDE, podiatrist and pedorthist Angus Brewin unpacks Australia's updated Pedorthic Footwear Standards and why podiatrists were central to shaping them.

The standards came about after a striking moment at the 2024 Pedorthic Conference, when clinicians in the same room gave wildly different answers to the question, "is this medical grade footwear or not?".

That variability and the confusion it causes for patients, funding bodies and clinicians alike is exactly what these standards are designed to fix.

๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ”ดโšซ National Reconciliation Week 2026 kicks off from today and runs until 3 June.

Foot health is a critical but often overlooked part of diabetes care. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience disproportionately high rates of diabetes and its complications, including lower limb disease and amputation. Resources like this are a vital part of changing that picture.

We're proud to highlight a meaningful step forward in closing the health gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet, in collaboration with SAHMRI, has launched a new foot health subtopic within their Diabetes Portal.

It's a dedicated collection of resources, publications, policies and programs designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have, or are at risk of developing, diabetes-related foot disease.

As podiatrists, we have an important role to play in our clinics, in our communities, and in our advocacy to ensure equitable access to foot care for all Australians.
