Different Sort of Shoe Question

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

I have a different sort of question. It was strongly suggested we get non-permeable shoes for nursing school, which I get-safety, cleanability, etc...but, what are your experiences? So far, I haven't found any leather/rubber type shoes that are even remotely comfortable for me, but I also don't want to get shoes that are going to be garbage after a week because someone puked on them :/ The only ones I found even somewhat comfy are the Croc style, but they get so stupid hot.

Check out New Balance, they've been my holy grail shoe and I can find them in all white pretty easily (which is required for my nursing school). I actually bought 2 pairs and rotate them (and wear them almost everyday)

I've also heard good things about K-Swiss shoes if you haven't already looked into them.

I've tried on several NB styles and they weren't comfy for me :( It may just be that I'm so used to this particular shoe I wear normally that nothing feels right, but then buying something and having it make my feet hurt is just a waste of money. I have literally worn the same style shoe for the past six years, just buying a new one when the old wear out, but they don't come in white and we're required to wear white! Ugh.

I went ahead and ordered some Ryka's off Amazon because they were white, cheap, had good reviews, and a friend recommended them. If they suck, I can send them back, and if I wear them and they still suck...I only lost 20 bucks.

Crocs are great, but usually ones without holes are required and they don't allow your feet to breathe. I've worn Nurse Mates, but they are expensive and they wear out in a few months. Sketchers have a great line of shoes and almost any one of their slip ons will be comfortable

I've had good experiences with SAS shoes. Super comfortable.
