Подиатр - isn't it a podiatrist?
Food for thought:"You should first see a PODIATRIST who is specially trained in the treatment of
diabetic foot disorders. Your podiatrist will measure your feet and evaluate
your foot structure and your particular problem. Your podiatrist can write a
prescription for therapeutic shoes if you need them. You can then take the
prescription to a place that sells this type of shoe. Most likely, you will visit a
special therapeutic shoe store, or you may be referred to a special foot
clinic or orthotic-prosthetic facility to have your shoes fitted. There, you will
probably see a PEDORTHIST, who is specially trained in fitting therapeutic
shoes. "
Some other references on the Internet show that pedorthist does not have to be a doctor.
Therefore, PEDORTHIST - cпециалист по ортопедической обуви?
