CGN: Clinical Guidance Network

At CGN, we believe finding the right footwear should be simple, personalized, and accessible to everyone. Founded by three family members with backgrounds in healthcare, technology, and athletics, CGN was created to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and everyday footwear decisions.

Our mission is to help people make more informed footwear choices through personalized guidance and innovative technology. By combining clinical insight with intelligent website design and custom-built technology, we’re making it easier for individuals to discover shoes that align with their unique needs, lifestyle, and goals.

What began as an idea in clinical practice has grown into a shared vision: making personalized footwear guidance more accessible, convenient, and affordable. As CGN grows, our vision extends beyond shoe recommendations to include custom orthotic solutions designed to help people find the support they need.

At CGN, our initials represent more than our names. They represent a shared commitment to helping people move forward with confidence.

Dr. Chandler

Chief Medical Consultant

Clinical Expertise. Practical Insight. The Idea Behind CGN.

As a podiatrist, Dr. Chandler brings specialized knowledge of foot health, biomechanics, and footwear needs to CGN. The original idea for the company emerged during his clinical practice, where he recognized an opportunity to make finding appropriate footwear more convenient and accessible.

As the clinical inspiration behind CGN, Dr. Chandler helps guide the company’s approach to footwear recommendations and its long-term vision for custom orthotic solutions. His clinical perspective is central to the goal of connecting people with footwear and support options that better fit their individual needs.

A Family Business with a Shared Vision

CGN is built on more than professional expertise. All three founders played college soccer at the same university, sharing a background in athletics, teamwork, and dedication. Chandler and Gabby are siblings, and Nick is Gabby’s husband, making CGN a true family-owned venture.

Our different backgrounds bring together three complementary strengths: clinical insight, technological innovation, and entrepreneurial vision. United by family, athletics, and a shared passion for helping others, we’re building CGN with one goal in mind: to make finding the right fit easier for everyone.

CGN. Because Every Step Matters.
