The three ways to contact Podiatrist Tested: corrections, questions and brands
Three ways in, and corrections come first. Original illustration: Podiatrist Tested.

What we are glad to hear about

  • Corrections. If a number or a claim on this site is wrong, tell us. We fix it on the page with a dated note, and we do not silently edit substantive claims.
  • Shoe requests. Tell us the model and, if it matters, the foot problem you are trying to solve.
  • Brands and PR. We accept product for testing. Sending a pair buys a test, never a score, and never advance sight of the page. See our editorial policy before you write.
  • Press and licensing. Happy to talk.

What we cannot do

Podiatrist Tested does not give individual medical advice. We cannot diagnose foot pain by email, and nothing sent through this form creates a doctor–patient relationship. If you have persistent pain, numbness, a wound, or diabetes, see a podiatrist in person. If you are in Michigan, Dr. Biernacki practices at Balance Foot & Ankle.

Please do not send medical records or other protected health information through this form.
