Predominately White Shoes....

Published

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for "predominately white shoes" that are still relatively "cool" looking? I usually wear Nike shoes that are white and some other color (red, blue, etc.) I would appreciate any links / suggestions as to what you all are wearing out there!

I'm going to need some white shoes; and my understanding is that we can't wear tennis shoes/sneakers.

Big Ugh.

CROC's are fairly popular because they can be cleaned. Any fabric type shoe that gets contaminated with blood, urine, etc...probably can not be decontaminated and has to get tossed. It would be a good idea to get a second pair of shoes to keep in your locker in the event they are needed. If you can't clean your uniform/shoes and continue working your shift, that may be a problem. I work in EMS and wear shoes/boots that have a blood borne pathogen resistive liner...unfortunately they only come in black and cost $149. And yes...I have two pairs. Comfort over appearance always wins...fashion statement and scrubs shouldn't go together in the same statement....:lol2:

I just went to the Crocs.com website and they don't have lace-up shoes in white, for men anyway.

:cry:

Unless you specifically need a lace up shoe, look at the Specialist. This shoe or some version of it, seems to be the most popular. At least by me anyway.

I wore adidas Originals Superstar 2 in nursing school.

As a nursing student, I've searched for cool shoes as well. I bought a pair of Landaus and put cheap insoles in them. They've been very comfy. But I wouldn't call them cool. I do feel, however, that they look professional. And that's what I'll be looking for in my work clothes from now on. When I go to see a doctor, dentist, optometrist, accountant - any professional - I want someone that appears professional. That very first image conveys to me that this person takes their work seriously enough to dress as a professional. To me, it's a sign of competence. In turn, I need to consider how I appear to my patients. I want to convey an air of professionalism from the first moment a patient sees me. I can go for the cool look outside of work, if I choose, but when I'm on the floor I want to be perceived as a health care professional. For me, that begins with the way I dress and continues into all aspects of my appearance and my manner.

(BTW, make sure there's some room in the shoes when you try them on. Your feet will swell as the day goes on...)

Girl here...but I feel for your plight in looking for cool shoes. I personally think that Adidas have always looked very sexy on men. Like an above poster said, get some good insoles. Go a half size bigger, get nice and comfy insoles, and get your sexy on!

get your sexy on!

haha...hilarious!

I'm thinking about the Croc Bistros...they have slip resistant soles and have vent holes on the side. I'm also looking at the Dansko clogs.

To answer the OP...

They're patent too! Blood will come right off :chuckle

Practically speaking though, I've got a pair of Skechers for 30$ and it has served me well. Like others have said, just go for comfort; you've got more to worry about in the hospital than to show off your stylish clinical attire.
