Hmmmm,wonder how you keep them ON???
I guess they must stay on because I see so many nurses wearing them.

Are they the cheap one you can buy at Payless now? That's what our nurses wear.

What are your favorite shoes for working? Thanks, Nurscee

New balance 811's are my favorite shoes

Payless shoes carry imitation Crocs.About 1/2 the nurses and aides on our busy med/surg floor wear them.They are so comfotable.Like wearing your house shoes all day.The cost is right around $15.00.Comes in black,light blue,neon pinkish orange & yellow, I think.
As far as tennis shoes go,the most comfortable ones that I have found are Hanes Sport "Cheerleading" shoes-runs about $20,can be washed in the washing machine,air dry.I washed mine about once a month in the washer(between times used baby wipes-not just for bottoms anymore ) and they still lasted over a year.When the leather became scuffed,bought another pair and spray painted the old pair with flat white paint.Actually worked better than shoe polish...
Good luck with shoe hunting.Once I find something comfortable,I buy an extra pair,because as soon as you REALLY like something, it becomes discontinued!
