do you wear those clogs?

Nurses Uniform/Gear

hey everyone:

just curious how many of you wear those "nursing clog" shoes at work.

I wear sneakers and have tried clogs on a few times, but I don't know how anyone could wear them all day!

I'm just a classic white leather type of gal...

I have a pair of grey and black leopard print suede ones right now. Currently eyeballing the magenta nubuck and soft pewter ones, too. :)

I really wanted to love clogs. I never felt quiet right in Danskos or Sanitas. Although I don't ever really run while at work, I don't like the feeling that I couldn't if I wanted to. I wore Crocs for a while but I would bump the toe of my foot on the floor every once in a while and pitch forward--ugh. Then one day, while transporting a critical patient by gurney, I did the toe bump thing, my croc flew off and got run over by the gurney while I hopped on one foot after my co-workers trying to retrieve my shoe and catch up in time to get the elevator. So awkward! After that I started wearing shoes that would stay on my feet, that let me feel the floor, that I could run up stairs in if I had to--Adidas Sambas and Converse Chucks. My shoes have no arch support and no padding. Other nurses think I am crazy, but my feet feel better than ever, and I never trip anymore. I save my squishy, comfy shoes for when I get home.

Rabid Response, do you have flat feet or high arches? I am wondering if those converse chucks would work for me too! I have high arches.

They actually look cute compared to the original design. I plan on going to Dicks Sporting Goods to try them out.

I think before investing in a pair of clogs or crocs, you need to find out if they are "legal" in your workplace.

Our WCB refuses any foot injury claims if wearing open heel or clogs.

Dansko's hands down.

I love mine, I have three pairs that I change out during the week. I have bad feet and a bad back and they work so well for me. They aren't that comfortable at first because you have to break them in so they form to your feet but they are worth the money you pay!

... I really despise those ugly clogs. I'd rather drag around bloody, MRSA infested shoes.
