Orthopedist. They’ll treat and advise on structural issues involving bones and muscles, and refer you to a podiatrist for any issues specifically in your feet.
You could try to go straight to a podiatrist, ideally one that specialises in correcting gait and posture, because there are some that specialise in, e.g., deformities, reconstruction, rehab.

if my foot’s shape has developed around how i walk, and perhaps influences it although I can’t be sure it is the cause, and this has a knock on impact on tendon tightness, muscle weakness and over use and various joint pains, what is the type of clinician I need? I am asking for a friend but I had something similar when I was a kid and who I saw was great, looked at how I walked a lot, made me orthotics, helped me strengthen the right bits etc only I don’t remember who this person was
