..you know, the ones that are supposed to be so great for your feet? They kinda look like clogs, but they have a back? Back when I was waiting tables some of the servers wore them, said nurses wear them a lot, but at the time I didn't want to shell out the $$ to buy shoes for a job that I didn't intend to continue with.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I have fallen arches and my feet KILL after an 8 hour day, I can't imagine when I start to do 12's!

I was wondering about Dansko clogs or Birkenstocks as well!

Anyone else have bad arches and what works for them?

I'm wearing sneaks now.

bew and aus nurse, I was studying through an American program called the School for Field studies. I was an environmental science major, and we did reforestation work up in the Rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands up about 50 k west of Cairns. The closest town was called Yungaburra, if I recall correctly. Absolutely beautiful!!!! The people were fantastic, and the scenery was magnificent. I also did some travelling during my break-went to Magnetic Island and Sydney. Saw crocs, roos, and koalas. And LOTS of cane toads!! And leeches too.....lol

Try this link for plogs and clogs. I've ordered from allheart alot, and they are terrific! I haven't worn anything except clogs since I found these! Most of them I just throw in the washing machine, never have to polish them, and they are SO comfortable!

Bergenstock makes several types of nuring clogs. There a re numerous brands. The ones with a back. These are also a clog. The back is lower than a normal shoe it was designed for safty especially in the OR.

use your search engine to find Uniforms, or go to a uniform shop. If you subscribe to a Nursing magazine you will start to get cataloges automatically.

I suggest you find a shop where you can try on the shoe. I have even see the "Anywhere" clog in gardening cataloges.

Mel, what a great experience,

I lived in Townsville for a couple of years, and spent a few days up in the Atherton Tablelands. Beautiful green hills and so many waterfalls......it was gorgeous. Magnetic Island is nice too...very laid back.

Bew, you must get up that way one day:) Skip Townsville;) but go on up to Cairns and around.
