Nursing Shoes For Men, do they exist?

[nursesaideBen]

Hi all, I have a problem, my white tennis shoes from Target just aren't cutting it anymore, my feet ache SO bad when I get off from work it actually is begining to affect my mobility for the rest of the night/day. I was wondering are there any specialty nursing shoes made for men? I wear a size 13 which can be difficult to find in just regular shoes much less specialty shoes. And honestly I'm to the point that ANY kind of shoe that would make my feet feel better in the long run would be worth a try. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

New Balance is the only shoes I wear anymore. I wear a size 12 or 13 depending on the day. My feet are pretty narrow and the NB seem to be made narrower.

I have worn Rocksport's for years in the ED without any problem

Bought those Merrel Topo proc (sp?), 90 bucks but well spent, they feel great, and I dont have to fiddle with tying my shoes :)

Dansko is the way to go. You will pay a little more money for them (usually around $110) but they will save your feet and back and will last forever. And if you do have a problem with them you send them back and the company will fix them.

I've been wearing Quark clogs for about 3-4 years now. You can get men's sizes on Allheart.com.You can also just buy two sizes up from the womens' size listed. It is the same shoe.

i'm suprised that no one has mentioned magnums - i generally alternated between magnums and British Army CBHs while a student and generally wore magnums in my first and second A+E jobs , third job was a realtive slack zone in Uk terms and a coupleof pairs of nikes got bashed aobut there, now back in an area where proper shoes are a must and socks and innsersoles make all the difference

I'm not surprised since I for one have never heard of magnums or British Army CBHs.

I couldn't imagine wearing my old army boots on the job. What kind of shoes are you talking about?

magnum is now a brand it seems with everything from shoes through you lace up to the knee 'professional bovver boots' for SWAT types

CBHs are the 'standard British army boot

what you have to remember is generally most UK nursing uniforms are uniforms and in the case of trousers are either proper trousers with creases pressed in or 'workman's trousers' with the front crease sewn in and uniform dress codes often specify polished black leather foot wear

Dear Zippy,

I didn't recognize the magnum brand at first. It was out of context. Now that you mention it I do remember it from several military catalogues.

Plenty of EMTs wear them and other military style boots.

Hearing about the British Nurse uniforms makes me appreciate my scrubs and clogs even more.
