I'm a nursing student and start clinicals this summer, so I'm in the market for a really good shoe. I've done a lot of searching and reading in past threads about which brands seem to be best and Dansko continually comes up as one, but I've also read a few good reviews on Doc Martens. The main thing that's steering me away from Dansko is that people have complained that they're heavy. On zappos.com I read 2 reviews of Doc Marten's style 9A61 that said they are more comfortable than Danskos. Have any of you been able to compare these 2 brands and if so, which did you like better? I would get open backed clogs if I could and this would open up more shoe possibilities, but since we must get white, enclosed shoes I found the Dr. Martens and Danskos to be the most appealing so far. Thanks for any feedback!
