nurse mates anyone?

[tnt714]

Has anyone tried the nurse mates clogs or sneakers? I heard dansko's take a while to get used to .. and i found some nurse mates online that are pretty cheap ($60 range) which is a lot less than a pair of nikes or reeboks .. just trying to get an opinion.. thanks in advance :)

Everyone has different "shoe needs." For me, I enjoy the soft cushion sole inside the nurst mates. I had a pair of Dansko's for a year and they are too heavy for me and I trip and my calves hurt after wearing them 2 12's in a row. I can wear my Nurse Mates after a 12 hour shift and have no pain whatsoever! They do wear down faster than other shoes, and they aren't all that cute but I am ok with spending $50-$60 twice a year to have no pain.
