Which Shoes Are Best?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm a nursing student who is going to be starting a new position as a Unit Tech in a CCU in a couple of weeks. I'll be working two 12 hour weekend shifts and one 8 hour weeknite shift and I really don't want to have achy, swollen feet!! Does anyone have any suggestions as to which type/brand of shoes are the best? I'd hate to spend $60 or more on shoes only to find out that they hurt my feet. I've heard some good things about Cherokee Rockers RClogz and Birkenstocks Super Birki or Professional Clogs. Any experiences with these or other shoes? Also, which shoes should I avoid? I've heard NurseMates are horrible. My feet thank you :D !!

Birkenstocks!!!!!

I just bought a pair of Easy Spirits, I believe the style is called Enconquerer. They are wonderful! They are all white too!

Thought I would die of aching feet on those 12 hour shifts until I found New Balance. They are awesome!
