I just bought Nike sneakers for nursing school and I am not sure if they are acceptable or not ... Nike Women's Dart 9 Running
My worries are that they are not completely white, which I hope is still acceptable.
These are the requirements for shoes that my nursing department said:
Plain, all white leather shoes/sneakers
Thanks in advance for answering my questions!

I have similar running shoes and when I walk on wet grass, my socks are wet due to the mesh fabric across the toes....which means bodily fluids would soak through, too.
Yeah, i do agree with you that body fluids or any liquids would soak through. However in my opinion i feel that it is very hard to find sneakers that body fluids won't soak into it.
Do you think i will get away with it? Also, it says nursing sneakers are acceptable, but not clogs. If you can show me some nursing shoes that are not clogs, that would be great!
I hope i can use these sneakers.
Thank you for your answer! Hope i can get more people's insight too!

I have the same exact shoes...my nursing program didn't accept them
Can i ask you, what type of shoes did you end up buying? Thank you for your response!
I ended up getting Timberland Pro in white

They are super comfortable but a bit expensive

Are these shoes clogs?? If not, i am afraid they may be mistaken as clogs.
Did your nursing school accept clogs?? My school doesn't accept clogs.

I'd say no
It stated all white- they are not
Also no mesh- it has mesh panels
Keep looking, good luck
I meant nylon panels

They are not clogs. And my program doesn't accept clogs either. These shoes definitely have a back.

You can try K-Swiss, which are leather sneakers. There are a few varieties; all of which are white.
Thanks! I will take a look at them if my nursing school does not accept these sneakers.
Thanks to everyone too for answering my question!
