Arthroscopic Footwear??


Hi, I started working in an arthroscopic surgical center and everyone in the OR is wearing old mucking boots or these disposable plastic covers to avoid soaking their shoes with fluid. I find both options to be very hot and uncomfortable.. Is anyone else in the same situation or know of a better solution for waterproof shoes?

Haven't seen anything else out there to keep your feet dry. If you are only circulating and not getting under the scope any, than a pair of the plastic Birkis with the insoles can keep you ok for just walking around and changing the bags out.

I use rain/farm boots with my arch supports for ACLs.
