Nursing Shoes

Published

Hello everyone! I need some advice on nursing shoes for my clinicals! What is the most comfortable shoe you have found so far?

I just got a pair of the Alegria classics in the black patent. I wear whatever socks I want with them. They are so comfy that I'm thinking about getting a pair of the feliz as well in a fun print. The only thing I will mention is I'm a size 10 American which translates to 41 European, the 41 in the feliz fit me okay, but in the classic I needed a 42.

I wore merrell shoes while I was a student. They were the most comfortable for me, and I went through many shoes until I found these.

Would you think those would work for a wide foot? If so, I might give those a whirl.

i have quite a few pairs of shoes for work. some are all white - some aren't. i have two pairs of white crocs, one with holes and one without. i have a pair of birkenstocks boston clogs which are totally awesome if you want to shell out the $150. i also have two pairs of nikes. one is a white pair of shox (some grey trimming) and my newest pair of shoes are the nike flywire shoes which are grey and pink. i am thinking of trying a pair of dansko's. :)

I've been wearing the same pair of brown Danskos for five years now. They are VERY comfortable for twelve hour shifts, and they last forever. Most of the staff on my unit wear them, and ALL of the surgeons wear them. The medical students are catching on :D.

haha, i'm glad someone else has a collection of work shoes! they all tease me at work, because i keep all of mine in my locker. i have a pair of white and silver crocs mercy, a pair of white anywear zones, a pair of pink birkis dorians, and a pair of silver leopard print alegria feliz.

then, at home, i have my "retired" work shoes, that i no longer wear to work often - a pair of pink, black, and white nike mids, a pair of magenta anywear ballet flats, a pair of white klogz, a pair of crocs mammoth (that i only use in winter), a pair of nursemates, and some purple danskos that are so cute but incredibly uncomfortable for me and i turned my ankle in :(.

Yes, I think they would work. Go to Dillards (I think) and try some on, that is what I did before I got them online.

My favorite shoes are KLOGS brand. They are so comfy and they have clog style or non-clog style. But the main point for me is I have a bunion and they do not bother it at all. They are a little pricey but worth it. Your comfort is very important!

Exactly, which model do you wear? I went to the website and there are several. I am on the heavy side and I also have wide feet. Just got my first pair of Alegrias, they fit fine, wore them the whole morning. They look huge as I am size 11, but the main thing for me is being able to put a 12 hour shift --- when I get a job LOL, so I do not really care how they look. Only thing is my sock slid underneath my foot, I am hoping that is was the type of sock (low sock, not even those covering the ankle) I was wearing, is like my heel was sliding up and down, other than that, I am fix to order another pair, but I want to see if there are other options first.

PS...Ordered the Alegria Abbi.
