The best place would be at the American Podiatric Medical Association.
APMA Seal of Approval/Acceptance Program
The APMA Seal of Approval/Acceptance Program recognizes products which
have been found beneficial to foot health and of significant value
when used in a consistently applied program of daily foot care and
regular professional treatment. The Seal of Approval evaluates the use
of therapeutic agents and their adjuncts (pharmaceuticals). The Seal
of Acceptance evaluates footwear, materials, insoles, hosiery, and
equipment.
The Seal is awarded to a product after the Committee on Podiatric
Seals, a standing committee of the APMA, scientifically evaluates and
determines whether the product allows normal foot function and
promotes quality foot health. Additionally, evidence of usefulness and
safety must be established, either by an appropriately recognized
laboratory or clinical investigation, or by the product?s meeting
certain physical standards applicable to materials, footwear, insoles,
hosiery, equipment, or pharmaceuticals. Companies must provide
research documentation, information on intended use, patents,
composition, and evidence of quality control procedures for each
product. A detailed scientific evaluation is conducted by each
committee member on every product. The committee then sends its
recommendation to the APMA Board of Trustees, which has the
authorization to either accept or reject the recommendation.

Here is a list of APMA SEAL OF APPROVAL PRODUCTS BY CATEGORY.

Bobbie,
Thanks for getting back to me. We are aware of the American Podiatric
Medical Association and their seal program. I was looking more for a
list of online venues/channels where we might find a large population
of podiatrists to recruit to our e-detailing program. Any information
that you can dig up would be appreciated.
