Hello everyone! My sister works long hours, and saw one of her nurses wearing one of these. She managed to take these two photos, but was unable to find the nurse and could not find the brand online.
It looks like crocs but the logo has a foot with the word TAP on it. Not sure what brand it is, but when I go into google all I get are (surprise surprise) search results for tap shoes. Anyone by any chance know what these are? Please let me know! Hoping to get a pair for my sis before her next 12-hour shift.
Many thanks! :)

I won't be of much help to you other than to say that shoes with holes in them are not allowed in direct Pt care areas because of contamination issues/prevention.
Let me guess, you've never had anyone drop a land-mine on your shoe before huh? Tis another reason I'm not fond of shoes with laces!!!

They are called CROCS see the little Crocodile on the front. They were a very popular shoe for nurses about 10 years ago but like AJJKRN stated not allowed inmost hospitals today due to infection control issues. I have a pair I wear around my house and garden. They are available on-line just Google Crocs.

They dont look like real Crocs. Crocs have a little crocodile on the button that holds the strap on; these have a footprint and the word TAP. I think they are just some off brand.
