Michael Stover is the founder and CEO of TuneZ Footwear, a fashion-forward orthopedic sneaker brand built on the belief that people should never have to choose between comfort and style. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Michael combines creativity, business insight, and personal experience to challenge the traditional orthopedic footwear industry.

He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from Kent State University and a Master’s degree in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University. Michael is currently pursuing a Doctor of Management in Information Systems and Technology at the University of Phoenix and is a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS).

The inspiration for TuneZ Footwear came from Michael’s own health journey. After undergoing a partial toe amputation due to diabetic complications, he was told he would need to wear orthopedic shoes permanently. Frustrated by the lack of stylish options, he decided to create something better—footwear that blends medical-grade support, modern design, and innovative technology.

Today, Michael leads TuneZ Footwear with a mission to help people walk comfortably, live confidently, and reclaim their mobility through orthopedic sneakers that merge health, fashion, and technology.

Now based in South Florida, Michael remains deeply connected to his community. He actively serves at The Faith Center, contributing to both the theater ministry and the youth music ministry, where he mentors young people and uses creativity to inspire the next generation.
