APMA Seal Program for Footwear and Products: Setting Standards and Ensuring Quality
For over five decades, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has been helping you find the best products for your feet through its Seal of Acceptance and Seal of Approval programs. These seals are awarded to products that promote good foot health, ensuring they meet the highest quality and safety standards.
What products can earn the APMA Seal?
Seal of Acceptance: Shoes, socks, insoles, materials, and equipment that support foot health.
Seal of Approval: Therapeutic products like lotions, deodorizers, wound care treatments, medical devices, and medicines. These can be found over the counter or by prescription.
How do products earn the Seal?
A team of APMA podiatrists reviews each product to ensure it promotes foot health. They assess safety, quality control, and other essential data. It’s important to note that APMA only evaluates products submitted for review and does not compare competing products.
