Assistance in Finding Nursing Shoes

Published

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..

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

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.
