The new foot&shoe issue is out, with a preview of ORTHOPÄDIE SCHUH TECHNIK in Cologne on October 20-21, 2023, news from the industry, and articles on the significance of new technologies in pedorthics. The new issue is available for free download on the foot&shoe website.

Guidelines for the construction of orthopedic shoes in the therapy of diabetic foot syndrome offers a design protocol that was developed by an interdisciplinary working group on the basis of the available scientific evidence.

The next issue of foot&shoe will be published on March 16, 2021 with topics and dates from the pedorthic industry.

The profession of pedorthics must and should continue to be developed. To this end, it is necessary to transfer new knowledge, new technologies and new findings from science to the trade as quickly and practically as possible. Since last year, this task has been in the hands of a newly created competence center in Germany.
