Any suggestions to good shoes to wear from 12 hours shifts. My Nursemates are no good for me. My feet are screaming :( after 5 hours.

Thanks

HI THERE BROWNBETTY,

I WEAR CLOUD WALKERS (http://WWW.CLOUDWALKERS.COM) THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE. I WEAR THE ALL WHITE SNEAKERS, AS WELL AS THEIR EVERYDAY WEAR SHOES. GO TO THEIR WEB-SITE AND CHECK IT OUT....THEY ARE A LITTLE HIGHER PRICED, BUT THEY ARE SO WORTH IT. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO.

I have a pair of Cherokee Rockers Lights (I think) that are slip on. I really like them. I don't have to worry about tying those darn laces all day. The other brand I like is New Balance. Had 2 pairs of those before my Cherokees, liked them also. (Except my shoelaces always come untied :( ). Get good quality, your feet deserve them and so do you. :D

Hi......I'm currently wearing Nike Airwalkers.....love em'.

I also have Sketchers Sport Tennis-Shoes...but I think I like the Nike better. I work 12's and have very 'picky' feet too, so it's VERY important that I keep them HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!

Some of my friends are wearing the new clogs and love them...I'm not too sure. I'm afraid if I have to 'run' for a code, I might fall on my rear!

Good luck!

After about year 3 of working two jobs my old feet and heals were giving out! PAIN! Especially going from a resting position to weight bearing! I got some new balance running shoes and WOW! Such a difference!

I used to wear a pair of Nike walkers that killed my feet, especially my heels. I switched to Reebok walking shoes, and it made a world of difference. Now I will only buy Reebok.

I usually wear all white sneakers...crosstrekkers, I think they are called...but just recently ordered some Duralight Rockers...they came in, but were the wrong size, and I had to send them back...haven't gotten them back yet. Loved the feel of them...don't know how they'll do as far as 12 hour shifts, but I'll let ya know!

i love my birkenstocks (bostons). you have to break them in slowly,..wearing them for only a few hours at a time--at first. i just worked 4 12's in a row that were very busy. not once did my feet hurt me. i also have some klogs. they are very comfortable but make my knees hurt after wearing them a couple of days in a row. i used to wear reebok dmx tennis shoes but found after about 6 months the support was totally gone. (i still wear my reeboks at home,...just not for work.) i just like clogs better,.....no shoe strings to tie!!! :)
