posted: Jan. 30, 2018.
Nurse Mates, a trusted leader in healthcare professional footwear, accessories, and apparel has announced the expansion of its ALIGN™ orthotic collection, releasing its debut lifestyle footwear collection for men. Nurse Mates first released ALIGN™ technology in Spring 2016, offering a lifestyle collection of women’s footwear equipped with an ergonomically-designed built-in orthotic. Dr. Dorothy Kurtz Phelan, a board certified podiatrist and expert in foot health, played an integral role in the initial development of ALIGN™ technology.

“Throughout my years of practice, I’ve observed a huge void in the men’s orthotic footwear market. While they have the same issues with fatigue, pain, and mis-alignment that women do, men’s footwear often lacks comfort and stability. There is a clear necessity for a men’s product with corrective technology and support,” said Dr. Kurtz Phelan.
