They are super comfortable but a bit expensive - Aug 17, '12 by Katie71275My school would accept those. As long as it's minimal color, that's fine....but that's program specific.
- Aug 17, '12 by Live.&.LearnMy school would accept those, the requirements were same as yours, all white ect...but they said a little color on sneakers is fine. good luck
- Aug 17, '12 by iluvpathoThese are what I have and I like them very much.
1. They're leather and wash up beautifully
2. They are comfortable
3. You don't want mesh-prime example..My first clinical my classmate and I are doing wound care on a pt. and after quite a few minutes we are finishing up and my classmates looks down and says what is all this (we're standing in a ton of water) but oh no its not water. The pt.'s foley bag was hooked there and whoever emptied it forgot to close it back up so it had just been flooding right out.

This is new balance's slip resistant shoe. They are really comfortable.Cold Stethoscope likes this.
- Aug 17, '12 by hgrimmettI have the exact same shoes but in the Nike Vomero version with a black swoosh. Amazon.com: Nike Zoom Vomero+ 6: Shoes My nursing instructor (our program director) said they were fine for school but warned me that some of our clinical sites may have different opinions and if so, their rules take precedence.. I don't think she realized that the top of my shoes is mesh though.

I have very hard to fit feet (women's 10WW which means I mostly wear mens shoes) and plantar fasciitis too. These are one of the very few shoes that I can wear that do not kill my feet after 10 minutes in them. I am seriously considering getting some all white Birki or Alpro shoes if they tell me not to wear these at clinicals. Birks are about the only other shoes that I can tolerate. - Aug 17, '12 by sauconyrunnerthose sneakers are really not all white at all....you can find them with the swoosh in white, and you can find reeboks and other shoes in all white. Of course, the best thing would be to email that pic to your advisor and ask someone in the know, because none of us here make the clinical rules...Cold Stethoscope likes this.
- Aug 17, '12 by Glycerine82I'm thinking no because they aren't slip resistant but maybe that's not an issue. The other thin like someone else says I they are mesh. You'll be sorry If you have to help someone in out of a shower or if you spill urine on ur feet. ( happened to me more times than I can count ).
