This is SO dependent on your build and your feet.
I can't wear most shoes, inclduing Crocs. The best FOR ME are $22 Cobbie Cuddlers from K-Mart. They're better on MY feet than Dansko, EasySpirit, NurseMates, Springbok - you have to find out what works for you.
As to clothing. I can not wear Barco as they're cut for juniors and I haven't been a junior size since I hit puberty. Same with Urbane and MetroScrubs. Haven't tried Dickies. Cherokee fits me best. I'm a true large in everything except their mock wraps, in which I'm an XL. LA Rose size up one. Same with Peaches and Landau. I can not wear unisex since I have ginormous hips and a small waist.
I have Quarks. They are SUPER light. They also make them in a clog as well as a closed shoe, which is important (in nsg school, we were not allowed to wear clogs...but the clogs are great cause they let my feet swell without constricting them).
I wear urbane scrubs and dickies. They are actually cut really nicely and dont make me look like a sack of potatoes.
I suggest you not buy these online or from a catalog. Find a scrub store, go try different stuff on, mark down the size, then see if you can get it cheaper online. I always buy my stuff at the store though (by the time you figure shipping and handling and the wait time, its just not worth it for me )
Walking shoes are best for me. Don't get running shoes - the soles are too hard.
I just bought Aviator scrubs (www.aviatorscrubs.com) and love them. They cost more, but look like they will last forever - heavy fabric and well-made. Also have many pockets as compared to most other brands.
