Just added a pair of Nike Shox to my shoe collection-I still like my red Sanita shoes but our traumas are really starting to pick up and I need something I can move very quickly in.

They're pricey but comfortable..I also wanted ones with primarily leather uppers, because the mesh tops aren't so nice when the blood, pee and poop starts to fly!

Z-coils look like they'd be good for your feet, but I just know the heel spring would catch on all the tubes and plugs we have in our rooms and I'd end up on the floor. Plus, I think they're kind of ugly.

I can't wear Dansko's because they are too wide. Crocs are not allowed so I think I'm going to go try on the Nike Shox. This thread has been very helpful.

My favorite are Klogs. So comfortable, and there's a wide variety of styles.

I dont know how much you plan on spending, but I really like Zcoils. My feet feel so good when I get off of a 12 hour shift. And lets just say I am over weight. My boyfriend showed me these and its all I will wear. They are a bit $$ at $250 but so worth it. http://www.zcoil.com/ Can you put a price on your feet?? I CANT!

Another plug for Z-Coils:

The good:
-The way your feet feel at the end of the day.
-The fact that once you invest in a pair, you only have to replace the coils every year or two ... much cheaper than a whole new pair of shoes.
-If you don't like the exposed coils, you can have them enclosed for an additional fee.

The bad:
-The price ... pretty high ... worth it, IMHO ... I don't work in anything else.
-Tripping hazard unless you get the coils enclosed ... they really do catch on phone cords, power cords, etc.
-They're heavy ... a bit like wearing steel toed boots. Not a walking issue due to the coil, but some just don't like the extra weight.

The ugly:
-Well, they are!

They're not for everyone, but for those who like them, irreplaceable.

My comfort clogs from allheart "squeak" while I walk, it's the most annoying noise. Did you have that trouble?
