Need help picking good nursing shoes!

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Hi all!

I need to buy a pair of white nursing shoes. I am new to nursing and don't know which brands are good, durable, comfortable, etc. I was hoping y'all could help me out! Please share your opinions on the shoes you love!

I love Danskos. I feel like you either love Danskos or hate em. But they are the only shoes that actually give me support and I do not feel fatigued by the end of the day.

I second danskos. They're especially nice because you can put them in the sink and spray them off.

I third Dansko's, love them! Get some support hose while you are out also, save your feet and your legs!

I think there is an entire thread on shoes. I love Danskos and can wear them for 14 hours. Sketchers, the ones with the rocker bottoms, are great for me. Somehow they make me stand and walk with better posture.

If you get a expensive pair of anything...wear them around the house for several days in your normal socks. See how they go for you.

Thanks y'all! I will definitely check out the Danskos! I have seen the sketchers too.

Still open to all suggestions! :)

I recommend against the use of shoes with a rocker sole/ bottom such as those sold by Sketchers.

I wear van lace-ups at the moment and although I do not have any problems with them yet, I know I will need something more supportive down the line.

I only wear Quarks. They are so light I hardly know I'm wearing shoes, yet they are supportive. And I can wash them in the sink with bleach if I want to!

I am loving all of the suggestions!

Its true about Danskos. Either hate or love because of the fit. I bought dansko XP Cabrio suppose to be the most cushiony one. After wearing my foot hurted even after I had it stretch and I wear size 36 one of the smallest sizes. But! I took their nice insole and put it in my crocs (and crocs sux) it feels like heaven!!! I truly recommended buying the 50$ insoles they are the foundation of danskos and already inplanted with the arch to meet yyour footsies needs
