what shoes do you wear...

Do you have a specific make/model number for the Shox's that are all white with the leather tongue? I looked at the Nike web site and could not find them.

I've been trying to find all white NB. They no longer make them

My program requires "nursing" shoes and I have wide feet. I found a great pair at Standing Comfort. I don't usually like to buy shoes from a website but the pair of extra wides that I got are great. At the end of the day I don't even think about them. The problem is that they're around $90.00, but I'm an old guy and bad shoes is the last thing I can deal with.

They still have all white NBs. I found a pair at Famous Footwear (brick and mortar). I got a pair of MX609AW in 4E, just in case I get to wear them one day for work. They can also order the size that you want if they don't happen to have it in stock.

So....you think the Standing Comfort shoes are really what the website claims? I've been thinking about ordering a pair, but...like you...I don't usually order things that I haven't tried on.

I was really leery also but I really didn't have much of a choice. The local stores that sold nursing shoes said that they would order a pair for me to try on but they didn't seem to take me seriously when I was in the store and they never called me back.

I was probably lucky but I really like the pair I've got. They came in extra wide, they are comfortable, and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day.

For you guys with hard to fit feet, like high arches, etc. Go to an orthopedic shoe store for fitting. They can fit you with insoles, or supports. The supports are not real expensive and they really help. I bought a set of Brooks because of my arches, they fitted me with insoles, and wow what a difference. I intern on a Med/Surg floor with 12 hr shifts and they have saved my feet, legs, and back. I wear Crocs on occasion, but found that I left them behind on codes like other posters. Also, they have a habit of stopping the toe for some reason. I read that it is called a Croc-stop. I have a pair of Merrill shoes that must be 5 years old and they still look new. They build a great shoe. I own a small retail store, and we sold their boots years ago. Really good product. Wears forever. I own a pair of the all-white Nike Shox. They were pretty hard on my feet and back. Wore them during the first two smesters of clinicals. They would not stand up to 12hr shifts for me. A lot of the RN's wear New Balance. Great durability and they say great comfort. New Balance has a great website that tells you about your foot and the lasts they build that will work best for your foot shape. Really interesting stuff for nerds like us

Right now I'm bouncing between New Balance and Brooks for upcoming clinicals. The only catch is that the must be all white, so I'm limited in models and manufacturers.

Any preference over the two?

Brooks makes an all white shoe. I have a pair on my feet right now.

I wear NB for school and work. So comfortable but always lookign for that perfect shoe. I love them. For thes schools that are strict with shoes, I say forget them. The shoes are on MY feet not theirs. I have to be comfortable, and besides I pay for them to sit in their chairs at their wonderful desks.

BTW...Z-Coils are around $200 a pair, but if they are comfortable, might not be bad to just try them.

I picked New Balance, because you're right. If they don't like the bits of grey, I've got white nail polish....
