My teacher said the hospitals do not have a required color. I wanted to get either black or white because I think it would look the most professional. I agree that black doesn't show dirt as much, and I think black looks better most of the time. However, a lot of the students in my class wear white. My friend said white shoes are better because you can see things better, so you know when you have bodily fluids on them and can wash them.... So I like black I guess I'm just concerned with what my friend said, that I won't be able to see bodily fluids on them or know when to clean them. Any advice?
