question about shoes

[AmyRN1227]

Hi!!

I'm starting my first RN job next week and would like some advice on what kind of shoes to get....I used NurseMates for clinicals and didn't find them to be too great. I am recovering from a sprained ankle so I need something with support. I also have a hard time finding shoes for my high arches. I was thinking of getting an athletic shoe like New Balance....any suggestions on which ones have worked for you with the long hours you are on your feet???

THANKS

Ah, here it is. Knew it was here somewhere.

Another vote for SAS!!! I have plantar fascitis and high arches. This, coupled with short, wide feet, makes shoe finding difficult. My boyfriend works in a shoe store that carries SAS. I was resistant at first, but now swear by them and have several pair! I also like Naturalizers and Easy Spirit. If you like clogs, fly flot is a brand of european clogs that I swear by. I have only one pair right now, but plan to acquire more! The Love style by Fly Flot comes in white and is the comfiest... and it's cute!
