Hey all
Im a Male Nursing student, I am halfway through my program, I currently have white shoes but they are super uncomfortable (it feels like strapping bricks to my feet and trying to walk). I did add Dr. Scholes insoles but they still are pretty dang uncomfortable.
It seems like White shoes for males are really hard to find in stores. Anyone have any recommendations on where I can find some? and what brands do you guys prefer?
They do have to be all white (per our uniform policy) and they have to be leather or any non-absorb-able, non-puncture material.

For myself I bought Crocs, after hearing them recommended specifically for nursing. I've been amazed at how comfortable they are. They don't cost much, they're sturdy, they're easy to clean. What more could you want.
(The specific model is Specialist. They tend to run about a size bigger than other shoes, so keep that in mind if you decide to get some.)

Puma Roma's -- they just fit me well and I rock them in different colors outside of clinical. I have some pair of K-Swiss and I hate them.

My program wasn't all crazy about showing logos, as long as it wasn't very visible (basically if it wasn't white or white-ish grey). I highly recommend K-Swiss shoes. No specific type, but definitely K-Swiss brand because they are very nice looking, pure white (except the K-Swiss logo is sometimes a greyish-white color), and they are very comfortable. In the beginning, a lot of my classmates bought the cheapest white shoes they could find because you know, the expenses for school is the highest for first semester. Later, they regretted it because of all the standing nursing students have to endure.
I also believe Adidas has some white shoes as well, but then again, always check with your program's rule book on what kind of shoes they allow.

OK - I saw the title of this thread & was all until I realized that it was not racist after all. Suggest revisiting Grammar 101... re: dangling modifiers (Best Men's White Shoes).
Have you taken a look at Alegrias? Pricey, but well worth it.
