Crocs?

Are Crocs safe to wear to work?

Thanks for your responses in advance!

I've never had a problem with static or whatever wearing them, and they are wonderful on my feet. Plus, you can toss them in the wash with your scrubs whenever you need to. You do, however, have to watch out for the dreaded CROC STOP! :sofahider

i absolutely love crocs!....out of all the shoes i've tried, corcs are the only ones that did not make my feet hurt. i think they are safe to work in. i've never had a problem with them, but some facilites don't want nurses to wear them so you should check with your facility about that. i do suggest watching out for the fake crocs. those shoes do not have any grip on the bottom of them, and if you step in anything wet in the fake crocs, you bottom will definitely hit the floor!...lol.....be blessed!

I have real Crocs and I've nearly busted my backside when stepping in something wet....definitely not unique to the fakies. :)

They were just banned at our facility, my wife and I are both nurses and both have a variety of colors.. Kind of upsetting because we don't get a uniform allowance or anything

I'm still fairly new to the medical field and honestly I was always in soooo much pain after 12 hrs on my feet. It wasn't until I discovered the crocs that I finally got relief. I don't wear the ones with the holes in them for safety reasons. You could drop a needle through the holes. They are sooo comfortable.

Yeah I actually talked to my D.O.N. and she said if we would get the ones with out holes we could wear them so I went today and shelled out $39 bux on some without holes..

Apparently some hospitals are banning crocs because of the holes in them, but you can buy the ones without the holes. I had to pay $39 bux too, but they were worth it.

Our D.O.N. says that they learned than some inept nurse may drop a syringe and it might go thur the hole in her croc's. So we can no longer wear croc's with holes in them! Let me think about this for a while. LOL I can inset an I.V, I can give narcotic's, I can care plan a MS pt. and provide pt. teaching, but I am inept at keeping myself safe from dropping a syringe? What fool dropped a syringe into her shoe and made us responsible for her? This is how it happens....some one does something dumb....and we all have to pay for it.

skechers cali gear is also comfortable, so light to wear, like wearing nothing at all and the best thing is it looks good, far better than crocs do.

THANK YOU!!! I just ordered a pair on endless.com. PM 6pm in order to get free overnight shipping. The Crocs will be here tomorrow,can't wait to try them out!

I love crocs, and wear the "real" ones, but yeah, if you step on something wet you will slip-but they are the best for your feet and back support.
