Assistance in Finding Nursing Shoes

Hey all,

I am starting nursing school in a couple of weeks and my school requires us to wear white leather/pleather shoes without logos for clinicals. I am currently having a problem since I have a relatively large shoe size (size 15) and I have yet to find a nursing supply store that carries anything in my shoe size. If you could recommend any websites I would be greatly appreciative.

I bought a pair of velcro too, weird looking shoes in my last semester from payless, and man they are comfortable..

Specializes in ICU.

Solid white Asics walking shoes for this guy. So comfy; so ugly.

Specializes in Outpatient Psychiatry.

Go beyond the nursing supply store. My mother owns one, yet she's never been a nurse, lol. Other than the lone pair of scrubs needed for school and three subsequent pair I seldomly wore in the workplace (for exactly 12 months) I refrain from having them.

That said, I went to JC Penney, found a pair of white, leather-ish New Balance walking shoes, and sheepishly went about the floor in them. Upon graduation, I returned them to the box they came in and buried them deep in the closet. In the hospital, I actually wore hiking shoes. The waterproof lining made me feel safer.
