NEW BALANCE!!!! But not ANY kind... you have to find the "running" shoes with the highest # (they name their shoes by numbering them). Make sure you go to a New Balance store (and not a store in the Mall) because they'll measure the width of your foot, along with the length. Also, they help you understand how you walk, and fit a personal padding inside. Yeah, they aren't the most stylish of shoes... but after wearing some J's, shox, af1, and even max's for 12 hours... it doesnt come close to New Balance... I'm NEVER on my feet for extended periods of time without them.

Ooooh, I've seen these toot and they come highly recommended.

Guess where my first paycheck is going?

I have size 12 feewt with very high arches. The Rockports are not doing it for me in clinicals, and I am getting back aches. What works better?

Not in Clinicals yet, but I work in a Chiropractors office, so I wear scrubs and propper shoes. I like the New Balance White all leather walking shoes. Hold up well, and have good arch support.

I found these from zappos. I have a wide foot so i need a good size for comfort. These look pretty good. Anyone have experience from Georgia Boot before?

I bought my husband's nursing shoes from Allheart (kinda slow with shipping, though). They couldn't just have white leather shoes, had to be actual nursing shoes. I had a hard time finding a pair that didn't have little hearts or something else cutsy. He thought they were ugly, but after he ended up with poo and worse on them, he no longer cared.

i've been doing cna and nursing clinicals in a some K-Swiss shoes. Their design is simple and most you can find are all white. I think they're pretty fashionable, comfortable, and humble at the same time.

I wear New Balance walking shoes... there's a NB outlet here in Boston and I got them from the closeouts section (they were the previous year's model)... paid like 25 dollars for them and they fit like a glove and are very comfortable and carry my 225 lb frame for the whole shift without any complaints. The fact that they were so inexpensive was also great for this broke student.

Dansko Clogs...Say what you want as far as them being too feminine but they are the best shoes I wear, I have two pairs one for work (ER) and the second white pair for clinicals, I graduate next week and have just died the white ones to black (they look ok) 120 bucks a pair and never complained once. Get them ASAP and wear them around the house for a few hours each day because they do take a while to break in and are not comfy until they are broke in.
