My poor feet

Published

I just had my first cna clinicals and my feet are killing me. I had some walking gym shoes but at the end of the day with being on my feet I understood the importance of foot wear in the medical world. I have huge feet and wear a size 11 womens shoe (I am 5'11) if anyone can tell me where to find some shoes that are confortable please let me know.

HI! I'm exactly your height & have the same shoe size. I recently got a job as a CNA & am in RN school. My feet hurt BIG time & the only thing that helps me is Crocs. They are easy to find in size 11 and the only shoe I can wear that helps my feet not ache...cheap too! Shoes.com is where I get mine. Good Luck!

Another vote for Crocs! I think they are oh so very comfortable.

One word of advice: If you decide to get a pair, make sure you wear lightweight socks. Crocs tend to hold heat (especially if you get a model without top or side air vents).

I feel your pain! An RN told me to buy Crocs,I did.But my feet still hurt.I bought a thin pair of socks to wear but they are very snug on my toes when I put the croc on.I was told today to buy croc socks.We have a scrub store that sells these.Im going in the morning.My poor feet cant take much more!Dont waist your money on the cheap off brand croc look-a-likes,your feet will hurt even more.The cost of the real thing is $25.00 -$35.00 in my neck of the woods.
