Stop suffering in uncomfortable shoes! Discover stylish comfort shoes here: https://comfortcoshoes.com.au/

In this episode of Comfort Walk & Talk, Allanah, Jeff and Ben unpack a major shift in how footwear can be prescribed, fitted and accessed inside medical clinics. They explore why traditional retail models don’t work in podiatry and physio settings, the hidden pain points clinicians face, and how a new two‑pronged program is designed to improve patient outcomes without forcing clinics to become retailers.

This episode covers:

◼️ Why clinics struggle to recommend and retail footwear confidently

◼️ How a standardised core range solves stock, fit and seasonality issues

◼️ How the affiliate model gives clinics access to the full Comfort Co range

◼️ The training program that helps non‑retail staff recommend shoes properly

◼️ How this approach improves patient outcomes and reduces clinic workload
