Founded by Dr. Narelle Wyndow—a podiatrist with over 30 years of clinical experience. Dr Narelle also has a Graduate Diploma in Human Motor Control (how the brain controls our walking), a Masters in Sports Medicine & a PhD in knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation. Having significant foot & knee issues herself has always been a major part of her drive to continue to learn more about how we move - & to create footwear to help us move better.

Thus, the first project from Anatomicore Labs is Anatomica Footwear.

Too often, supportive footwear is unattractive, impractical, or makes you feel like you're having an identity crisis when you wear it.

Thus, Anatomica Footwear is the result of both professional expertise & personal frustration with current footwear options. 

 Anatomicore Labs aims to create footwear that truly combines orthotic-grade support with everyday comfort & modern design to help you move well.

Developing a shoe unlike any other hasn’t happened overnight.

Through extensive research, testing, & collaboration with experts, Anatomicore Labs has worked tirelessly to design footwear that enhances foot biomechanics, balance, & overall comfort. The journey took Dr. Narelle across the world, working with leading manufacturers & sourcing high-quality, environmentally responsible materials where possible to ensure that every detail of Anatomica Footwear serves a functional purpose.
