Forensic Podiatry

Forensic Podiatry Expert Witness Analysis of Footprints, Shoes & Gait

Dr. Nirenberg is a forensic podiatrist and as such, provides expert witness analysis of criminal and forensic cases involving footprints, shoes (footwear),  and gait (the way a person walks). Footprints may occur in blood at a crime scene and they may be bare footprints or sock-clad footprints (footprints made by a foot wearing a sock). Footprints may be on the insole of a shoe or the insole of boot.

As a forensic podiatrist expert witness, he assists law enforcement and attorneys throughout the country, and he has lectured extensively, including to a division of the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. Nirenberg has published and researched on footprints, including the use of foot impressions in footwear to assist with determining if a person could have worn a discarded shoe or boot. When a persons wears a shoe, boot, sandal or type of footwear their foot will typically leave wear marks in the shoe that can be used to show if a person could have worn the particular item of footwear.

In his capacity as a forensic podiatrist, Dr. Nirenberg also provides forensic gait analysis of criminals captured on surveillance video. Forensic gait analysis can assist with linking (or unlinking) a criminal on video (or CCTV) to a suspect by comparing features or combinations of features of the perpetrator’s gait and suspect’s gait (the manner of walking or running).

Dr. Nirenberg was a co-editor of the textbook, Forensic Gait Analysis: Principles and Practice, published by CRC Press/the Taylor & Francis Group.
