crocs aint working for me!

Pop for a pair of Birkenstocks.

I would buy a pair of the best walking shoes that you can find. New Balance, Reeboks, Nike, whatever fits your feet the best. You need a new pair every 6 months or so because they breakdown. Good arch supports are what you need!

just bought a pair of new balance today! thanks

I just bought "Klogs". They feel awesome already, so good I can't describe. It has the Gel Sole already in them so they still fit right. They were a good price also, I paid $50.00. They are very popular here in Florida. Everyone I know from Nurses to Chefs, recommended these to me.

So if the New Balance wears out, might want to try them on.

I have a pair of NB as well as a pair of Nike Shox. You might want to investigate with a podiatrist whether you need orthotics as well. :)

For me, the New Balance and orthotic combination has been a heavenly cocktail for my feet. In fact, my feet hurt more when I take them off than when I am wearing both. Cheers for the podiatrist who suggested this combination!:bowingpur

They do look wonderful...:bow:

I have a lot of problems with my feet, and was worried about what I would do when clinicals started. An acquaintance told me she wore SAS shoes, and had done so for years with no problems, and she is on her feet all day. I bought a pair about 10 months ago and have worn them at every clinical day, with great results. The rest of me may be tired, but my feet don't hurt a bit. The shoes are holding up really well too. Cost me $125, but worth not having to be in pain.

Are you using the croc's Specialist or Specialist vent? These are the ones with a higher arch and more support. When I put on a pair of the regular crocs, my feet ache and throb; but, not so when I wear the Specialist style. The only complaint would be the sweaty feet when it is hot, accompanied by the noisy squeak or pseudo fart noise when I walk.

pseudo fart noise when I walk.

Thanks for the laugh

I work 12 hour shifts, wearing NB sneakers, by the end of the day you can smell my stinky feet at 10 paces. Corcs were suggested to me, but before a poped $30 for a pair of "styrofoam" shoes, I bought an $8 pair at Target to try. I LOVE THEM !!!! I gotta say. If the $8 cheapos are anything like the "real" crocs. (which from checking out the ones that others have, they are) It's like wearing slippers all day! Now granted, I don't have any foot issues (yet). But I'm on my feet 60 hours a week w/o complaints. When these wear out I'll, go for a pair w/o the holes in the top (but look for the "vents" on the sides) I think the ones with the holes on the top don't look as professional. But I'm told I can find them for arount $10 inf some of the local uniform shops.
