howdy,
If you want clogs you can try Birkenstocks, a little expensive but they last forever and are really comfortable (once you break them in) I just bought a pair of Nike crosstrainers, the weird looking ones with no back on them ( just a strap) and they work really well too.
Good luck

I like the wooden sole look but it is covered on the bootom and the shoe is comfortable. Plus the hospital I work in has carpeting and the rooms have wooden floors.
Thanks for all the replies.
I must echo the praises of the Dansko and Birkenstock clogs!
I have one pair of each. I don't really rotate, I just wear either one according to my mood. The Birkenstocks are great b/c they are rubber. You can clean them without having to worry that they will be ruined. The Danskos are soooo comfortable and they last forever.
I wore the wooden soled / swedish clog for several years when I worked in the OR. I found I developed a callous on the top of my foot over that time from them. They are impossible to keep on your feet if you are running in an emergency/code situation. In fact I fell out of them and twisted my ankle.

Hello Nurses,
I am an ICU nurse and I work 12 hours shifts. The question is what are the best shoes for working in? I come home many days feeling like my feet and my back are having a tug of war with the rest of my body. I am looking for clogs with wooden heels but don't know who makes them or where to find them. Any suggestions?! My feet and my back will thank me.
