Can anyone tell me about any really comfortable shoes for Nursing
Thank you

Klogs!

I have tried everything, and those are the best!

New Balance 811's!

I bought the New balance shoe in my size but they were so tight I could barely breath. A friend of mine said that yes, they tend to run a size small and to size up one size.

I bought instead some Jungle Pro moc's by Merrill. A slip on type but not the clog. I love them and find they are like walking on a cloud.

Dansko clogs are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn at work, although some facilities do not allow open back clogs. They do make them with a back, more like a shoe than a clog.

I use Dansko's (from their occupational line) and love them:

Only Dansko's for me!! They are so comfortable and so worth the money!

I just started wearing spikeless FootJoy golf shoes. Lightweight, fluid resistant, and they look great.

Which shoes are the best for Plantar fasciitis?

Does anyone have suggestions for someone with *very* high arches/insteps who is also overweight and very tall?

I looked at Danskos but they would add more height to me than I am comfortable with. I have worn Birkenstock's *sandals* for years but can't seem to find anything resembling a nursing *shoe* that has a high enough instep. I have a pair of SuperBirki's that I wear for gardening but even they don't have a high enough instep and of course they aren't adjustable.

I bought a pair of Holey Soles (like Crocs) on Ebay for wearing at the pool and they are really comfortable but there isn't near enough of an arch to support me.

Thoughts for me?
