My Nursemates are falling apart.....

[mel82]

I know this has been discussed before, but my shoes are falling apart. I am 3 months away from graduation and would like to invest in a good pair of shoes. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Melanie

I've heard a lot of good things about Dansko shoes. I'll be trying those out.

The last pair of nursemates i had, had a horrible squeek in the sole. Never bought them again.

Just wear the most comfortable pair of athletic shoes i can find with a good fitting arch support.

i love my dansko's, i think they are a very good investment.

Dansko's are the best! I love mine. They are very comfortable. If you live in PA there is an outlet store in Westtown, PA. I only paid $56 for my closed back clogs.

I actually own multiple pairs of Super Birkies, but have three pairs of NurseMate clogs and love them also. One pair feels like that I am walking on sponges...........would coinsider buying something like this one again.

After only a few hours on clinical, my heels hurt sooo bad. The rest of my foot ( toes, arch, ect ) feel fine... but the pain in my heels I can't stand. I bought inserts with extra heel cushions for my nurse mates... helps a little.. but what can I do to get through the entire day? Any suggestions???

I have a pair of all white Nike walking shoes that feel great. $40.

I have Pothia brand duty shoes. They are so comfy. My feet and legs are never sore at the end of the day. They are leather and have good arch support! I would def purchase again. They look like Birkinstocks (sorta same shape to toe) but the sole is spongy and springy! THey have a website...POTHIA
