Need to buy nursing shoes

Published

Hello everyone, i was wondering if someone could help me figure out what kind of nursing shoes i should buy. Here are some of the recommendations i found in nursing shoes guide. Still not sure which one i should go for though. I just need the most comfortable one. Thanks

Instead of asking everyone for recommendations, I would head to a shoe store and try some on. I work with a lot of nurses who swear by Danskos. However, they put me in absolute agony. I learned- I headed to my local shoe store and tried on several different brands. Found a pair that was comfortable and lasted. Now that I know what my feet like, I can shop around online for better prices.

I wore regular athletic running shoes for the longest, thinking we do enough running at work-right? But eventually I started getting foot pain after 12 hrs of work. I didn't like Dansko specifically because of how the shoe kinda 'flops' off the back of your foot. I tried Alegrias after hearing good recommendation and LOVED them on first purchase! I don't believe I will buy a different brand of nursing shoe- they last a pretty long time too, comfort and structure wise. But with all that said, going to a quality shoe store that sales different brands is good way to walk around the store and find a pair you like, however its not like walking the floors at work. Its really trial and error because everyone's foot comfort is different. Good luck!

I agree. But if budget is a consideration try on a pair of new balance 990.
