I've been using my crocs brand name shoes for a few moths at work- but feel that my feet are hurting me! I do not understand why!? I've been told that these are the best shoes- but now I feel like my feet are throbing when I come from work!
what is the best shoe out there that can help me with throbbing feet after a long 12 hour night shift??
I don't care the price- as long as it's not over $100 for a pair.
I would buy a pair of the best walking shoes that you can find. New Balance, Reeboks, Nike, whatever fits your feet the best. You need a new pair every 6 months or so because they breakdown. Good arch supports are what you need!
I just bought "Klogs". They feel awesome already, so good I can't describe. It has the Gel Sole already in them so they still fit right. They were a good price also, I paid $50.00. They are very popular here in Florida. Everyone I know from Nurses to Chefs, recommended these to me.

So if the New Balance wears out, might want to try them on.
I have a pair of NB as well as a pair of Nike Shox. You might want to investigate with a podiatrist whether you need orthotics as well.
For me, the New Balance and orthotic combination has been a heavenly cocktail for my feet. In fact, my feet hurt more when I take them off than when I am wearing both. Cheers for the podiatrist who suggested this combination!

I have a lot of problems with my feet, and was worried about what I would do when clinicals started. An acquaintance told me she wore SAS shoes, and had done so for years with no problems, and she is on her feet all day. I bought a pair about 10 months ago and have worn them at every clinical day, with great results. The rest of me may be tired, but my feet don't hurt a bit. The shoes are holding up really well too. Cost me $125, but worth not having to be in pain.
