DR. COMFORT
Dr. Comfort was founded in 2002 by Rickey Kanter, an individual with over 25 years of footwear experience. Rick grew up working in his father's footwear business, and eventually founded his own chain of comfort footwear stores. These stores specialized in providing a wide range of styles, sizes, and widths for both the average and not-so-average foot.
After 20+ years in the retail footwear industry, Rick sold his business and took a year off for rest and relaxation. It was during this time that Rick became aware of the dilemma faced by diabetics and their feet.
Rick noticed that almost all of the footwear available for the diabetic foot was not only poor in quality and badly lasted; it also lacked another important factor…style.
Rick, with the help of podiatrists and certified pedorthists, founded Dr. Comfort and set about designing footwear to both fulfill the medical needs and exceed the fashion expectations of the diabetic patient. Rick and his team spent a year researching and developing proper medical lasts and eye appealing styles. The result was a product that was extremely well received by diabetics and their health care professionals not only for their feel and function, but also their overall look and quality.
Nowadays, we offer our shoes in all 50 states and internationally, not only to diabetics and those individuals with foot complications, but also to those who need relief for their feet from the stresses of everyday life and those who just desire a comfortable pair of shoes
