Shoes

Published

Hey ladies and gents,

I am in the market for some new shoes. I know everyone's feet are different, but was curious - what do you all love? I have to wear orthotics in them, so I don't know if crocs work or not (plus I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to wear those anyway).

Thanks for your thoughts!

But personally, I like to wear crocs because they're comfy and loose (I don't like the feeling of tight tennis shoes for 12 hours)

i am a nursing student and we are not allowed to wear crocs. if we were, however, those would probably be my choice of shoe. as of now, i wear birkenstocks. birkenstock is a very pricey brand but it lasts forever if you avoid water. i've had mine for a year now and they are still perfect. however, a downfall to these shoes are they take a bit to break in. they are made of high quality leather and the sole is a cork material that forms to your foot shape. the birkenstock style i have are called 'london' and they come in white if that is required. the other downfall is the price but like i said, they last!

i hope this helps!
