Hi everyone!
I was just admitted into a traditional BSN program in Sacramento. We were given a pre-entry checklist with a lot of items to tackle in a short amount of time!
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on shoes for Nursing school and clinicals? They've instructed us to to purchase comfortable shoes that are closed-toe, closed-heal, solid black or solid white (with minimal other colors), and they must be "wipable", meaning all leather and spill-proof. I had always imagined I would wear my black Nike Free Runs as they are super comfortable! However, they may have too much mesh on them to be considered spill-proof. I'm not really into the clog-looking shoes, I think they are called Dansko's? I would really prefer some comfy running shoes, if possible, but am having trouble finding leather ones that would be comfortable. Any suggestions what all of you fellow nurses like to wear?
Thank you!!
I just bought some klogs and I love them more than my danskos.
I love em both, but for different scenarios. I loved standing and walking all day in my Danskos. I worked food service and their support is amazing. Fast walking/jog, quick stop, though, I always turned an ankle. I like the Klogs/Alegria/Timberlands because they fit snugly unlike the Danskos and I haven't rolled an ankle in them yet. I'm still breaking in the Alegria but they are a favorite so far.
