Best shoes ever?

crocs have the holes in the top of them so you have to be careful of body fluid spills or needles. my hospital actually is not going to allow them anymore

I'm all for Dansko professionals. I have narrow feet with low arches as well as mild lumbar scoliosis and my feet and back feel fine after 12 hours. And thank goodness it comes in a narrow version! I tried birkenstocks, but they were just too painful on my arches (or lack thereof). Crocs are too loose and sloppy on my feet unfortunately. You may need to try different shoes until you find the best fit.

Hello redraccon!
Wow, well my all time favorite, most comfortable nursing shoes in this galaxy are called: Clinics. Used to be sold opposite MACY*S on 34th Street in NYC. Waaaay back in the day. Having a hard time finding anything that resembles them. They were all white, with shoelaces, made of leather, kind of resembled old fashioned nursing shoes. I still have a pair, but they are there to remind me of when I first entered nursing.
Now I wear Army boots (smile) BUT my second pair of nursing shoes would be: Clogs. The wooden kind, not the kind that you can throw in the washing machine. Kind of expensive, if I recall.
Here is one website that you could check out:

I have had many people tell me how comfortable white sneakers/tennis shoes are, but IMHO I don't think they look professional at all.
Good Luck in your search for the perfect nursing shoe.

I think that changing it up is the key. I change it up pretty much every day. Crocks, new balance, dansko, and nursemates. It works for me! I'm thinking about taking an extra pair to work and changing mid-shift.
