I know folks that swear by z-coils.

Just be careful around the old house cats that may get their tail between one of the coils. That was not a pretty site!!!

someone else may have mentioned these, but "MBTs" are amazing!!!!!
They cost $250.00 (ouch!) but worth every penny! You MUST go to this website and check 'em out!!!

Just to let anyone know- the old Comfort Clogs from Allheart are back. They phased them out and had Italian style clogs for a while. I know that they take forever and customer service is not always good- but I ordered 2 pair because these shoes are the best I have found for work. (I have a Fred Flintstone foot- not pretty)

I swear by RYKA sneakers. I alternate 3 pair and I work 12 hour weekend shifts. I have a bad R ankle ( 2 sprains, 1 fracture) and s/p L knee repair and lumbar scoliosis. These are the only shoes that address my 3 issues simultaneously. You can check QVC.com, they have them as a special price at times or check online for RYKA.

Danskos! Hands down! After much throbbing in the legs/calves after a shift, a friend recommended Danskos, and I've worn them for two eyars now. You can buy them online cheaper than probably in town at a store. The sizes are European, so you may want to get sized in a local store, then look online for a cheap price. Some friends have bought them on Ebay. One caveat: you need to learn how to walk in them, as they are like a ski boot, tilted downward, but with a flat overall shoe.

I like S.A.S. freetime's...Come in white, black and tan. Very nice shoe. I believe they have petite, med and wide width.

I love Klogs. Dansko does not fit me ,and crocs killed my knees. I also end up going back to klogs.

I swear, though, that different style Danskos are sized differently, so make sure you try on the style you intend to buy .

I have spent too much money on nursing shoes...I used to swear by SAS but then I started getting corns..ugh..I spent money on birkenstocks and I have to admit the professional crocs are the ones that never never bother my feet. I used to wear the beach crocs but the professional ones seem more sturdy. You have to be careful and replace them when the bottoms get worn cuz they can be slippery. Just an opinion from an nurse who has a pile of shoes in her closet and her crocs on her feet....

i too am in love with dansko professionals. they do take some breaking in- don't wear them to work when you get a new pair. i wore mine around for more and more time each day. actually now i'm pretty much obsessed with them.
a bonus is that i'm a bit on the short side and i don't have to hem my scrubs anymore b/c of the little extra lift
