"As a medical professional specializing in orthopedics, joining forces with The Good Feet Store marks a pivotal point in my career, taking medicine to a whole new level for those who need it, and meeting consumers on the other side of the business," said Mehta. "The Good Feet Store helps reach patients at the beginning of their path to comfort, not the end, and my shared passion for improving patients' lives makes this role a perfect match. Through strategic leadership and collaborative partnerships, I aim to elevate the brand and enhance its impact on health and wellness.

As The Good Feet Store's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mehta will elevate the brand's objectives and product effectiveness through her medical expertise and insight, guiding the brand to the forefront of foot health and wellness advancements. During The Good Feet Store Owner Summit held recently, Dr. Mehta unveiled a major brand initiative that she has been leading; the introduction of The Good Feet Store's select group of Medical Ambassadors. Made up of passionate endorsers of The Good Feet Store's arch support solutions within their respective fields, these individuals include:

  • Renée Rodriguez Paro, MD – Pediatric Cardiology

Another key area of focus for Dr. Mehta, which was also revealed at the April 12 Owner Summit, is the ongoing efficacy study on The Good Feet Store's 3-step arch support system* conducted by Dr. Adam Landsman, DPM, PhD, at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Landsman, an Assistant Professor of Orthopedics at Harvard Medical School, also researches in the Division of Podiatric Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. Once finalized, the study will reveal a series of proven claims pertaining to the transformational impact of the 3-step arch support system. Through the study and its proven claims, Dr. Mehta will guide The Good Feet Store in creating messaging to educate the public on the benefits of using the 3-step arch support system.

Additionally, Dr. Mehta will lead efforts to secure endorsements from prestigious medical organizations. She will also train corporate staff and provide input on product development. Through these initiatives, Dr. Mehta aims to solidify The Good Feet Store's position as a clinically-proven leader in foot health.
