As I read the posts, I kept on remembering all the movies and TV programs that I have seen that deal with hospital situations.. Have you seen how many "nurses" are wearing shoes that if we tried wearing them in real life for work, we'ed get 3 weeks of sick pay for a bad back or broken bones. I especially loved one series where the "nurse" wore high heeled pumps/!!

i totally relate........how about the mothers of the 60-70 era wearing heels and dresses cleaning and mopping and taking care of babies......i saw dresses but more like housecoats then dress up dresses........my family and i used to always get a kick of the portrayals of many female/women roles......so cold here below zero...i believe age just wont let you sleep all night ....lol

I was a total Dansko groupie, I own 3 pair, and I wear my 'not work' ones with my jeans. I recently graduated from nursing school. (was a tech before) I discovered that in ICU as the nurse instead of the tech, I stand in one position more than I used to. I had to retire my dansko's for New Balance running shoes. My feet and back were screaming! Now I feel better. I hope to go back to the Dansko's eventually, but right now they are totally painful. They were great for 'long distance walking' floor nursing though. I wore a pair all through clinicals and senior preceptorship without a single twinge.

I absolutely am addicted to my danskos. Once I made the switch, I have NEVER had any body aches whatsoever associated with being on my feet so much.

I recommend them to EVERYONE!

(plus, I just think it looks more professional verses sneakers, IMHO)

They do look way more professional. They are terrific, great looking shoes. However, I hope you wouldn't recommend them to me, because they totally started to kill my back

My feet require a lot more tendering than they used to, but my Klogs and Thorlos socks go a long way toward getting me through 12 to 15 hours of continuous walking.

Update:

Six months in the unit and I was able to put my Dansko's back on! YAY!
