I've always liked rockport walking shoes when I'm on my feet a lot, so I managed to find a pair that were off-white, and with a little white shoe spray, they're now whiter than my uniform. Very comfy and 80 bucks well spent. We're not allowed to wear sneakers (some guys have and got away with it if they're all white), and the mens nursing shoes I've seen were not very comfy.

Here's what I got: they're not white but spray em and they are perfect

Right before my clinicals started last month, Nike Shox finally came out in all-white -- with a leather tongue!!!!

All the other models have mesh over the top of the foot...regulations don't say anything about that, but if people are going to be bleeding, puking, peeing on me, I want the top of my shoe to be as impermeable as possible.

Pretty comfy...turns out mine pinch a bit on the sides, but are very well cushioned. Combined with support hose ( ), my legs and feet feel FABULOUS at the end of the day (wonder how long that will last......).

Good luck with the search.

I'm an RN that works 4-5 12 hour shifts a week, and I just bought a pair of Nike Shox. They cost just about as much as the merrells I wore in school, and they are by far the most comfortable shoe I've worn. They are built for runners, so they fit like a glove, and are breatheable. I noticed that all the other RN's on my floor wore them, and loved 'em, so I gave them a try....LOVE 'EM!

If you have to do the all-white, non-athletic shoe for school, check out the Merrell shoe website for their white "moc" It's relatively comfortable, and if fine for school.

I wear Nurse Mates with Dr. Shcolls insoles. I love them and wouldn't trade em for anything.

I wear Sketchers. My podiatrist and my ortho doc both recommend them for nurses. They are the most comfortable shoes and since I started wearing them, my feet and legs do not hurt after an 8 hour shift anymore.

White Dansko nursing clogs! They are big, white, ugly - and come in mens sizing. They are awesome! Something about the arch support makes them very easy on my lower back - which was important to me. My wife says I look like a 70s disco star...but they are the best.

I black Dansko clogs but I've been looking all over for a particular pair that I saw someone wearing at my hospital. I saw them on a nurse passing by and thought that they looked neat and comfy. They're open in the back w/ a raised heel (looks like a spring as a heel). They're supposed to provide really good back support. I can't find them anywhere? Does anyone know what I'm talking about??

I really like Ryka shoes. Made just for women's feet. Very comfortable, look good and long lasting. Run about $65.00.
