Published

Im still getting used to my first LPN job and i go home everyday in pain. When i finally go to bed, my feet are pounding when i elevate them. I just wanted to complain to you guys, since you've all probably been there. Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!!!

I really like those Dr. Scholl's inserts - the kind you go put your feet on the machine and it tells you what you need. The machines are found in walgreens and Walmarts. They are about $50 but was worth every penny

Thanks! I was wondering if i should invest in those or an expensive pair of nursing shoes. But alot of nurses have told me they regret spending a lot on their nursing shoes because they arent that great. I think ill buy the dr scholls this week. Thank you!

dansko clogs are expensive about $120, but worth every penny!

Love my danskos! Also got some compression sleeves for my calves for Christmas that I wore for 12+ hours on the floor today, and I must admit my legs feel amazing! I would invest in danskos and compression hose :)

I bought a pair of Dr.Scholls shoes (not just the inserts) and they are awesome.

I'm a big fan of running shoes. They provide me w/the most support. I don't like danskos or any clogs anymore. I also wear the knee high socks for diabetics (even though I'm not). Those help.

Danskos and thick socks. SOOOOOO much better than anything else. but sometimes they still hurt

Those Dr. Scholl's machines at the drug stores rock! Those insoles, TEDS, and Tylenol & ibuprofen really help me out!
