Buying nursing shoes in London/UK...

I've been looking online, but was wondering if anyone had any good tips for finding & buying nursing shoes in the UK. I've particularly been looking for labels Dansko or Crocs, provided the entire foot is covered.

Thanks!

I just bought ordinary black shoes that was laced up and met hospital requirements. Better check because crocs may not be allowed

Silverdragon is absolutely right

Crocs banned in hospitals over health and safety fears - Telegraph

My shoes are from Merrell

I'm not a fan of Crocs at all, but the Matron herself told me that people wear Crocs on the unit I'll be working on. I suppose some Crocs have styles that are fully covered? Maybe...maybe not.

I'll look out for Merrells, thanks, I forgot about that great brand!

thanks to you both.
