A lot of nursing shoes seem flat or only with inch heels. Are there any with 2 inch+ heels? Has anyone here or anyone know of footwear that are mid-heel, without compromising comfort and quality? Please list brands or footwear you know that would fit this description. Cheers
The hundreds of thousands of nurses and docs who wear Danskos on a daily basis would beg to differ. I wear them daily, all day, and have for 8 years (I have a few pairs that I wear outside work as well). No problems whatsoever. I think that for some people, they're just not comfortable. But they wouldn't be so wildly popular with healthcare professionals (and chefs, and other people who stand for a living) if they damaged your feet.
And just because I was curious, I went searching on the internet. And I learned that the American Podiatric Medical Association has given Dansko clogs their "seal of approval."
I can also tell you that I've trekked all over Turkey and Spain (two different trips), walking 10+ miles a day, in just a pair of Danskos.
