what shoes do you wear...

Published

so what do you guys wear?? i start clinicals next week and im not sure what to buy...

How much are Z-coils, i dont think any price is too expensive when it comes to ultimate comfort. I wear a 14 so do they even come in that size.

I'm wearing a pair of Merrell Topo Moc Pro's myself.

The Nike Shox look nice and I might try 'em but check the soles of the Shox model you are considering. I have seen some that have tons of cracks and crevasses (and some that rather smooth). Don't know about you, but if I accidentally step in a pts glop of choice, I don't want any of it hiding in a difficult place to clean on my shoes.

Regards,

Ken

:imbar Ok.. Im a girl.. but I would suggest some shoes with a good sturdy top to them and not a mesh top. I used to wear my brand of shoe that I use for my running training- NO PROBLEMS... until last week when I started my rounds in the AM a SCD (Seq. compression device) foot machine feel off of a bed and broke my right foot.:selfbonk: I'll be going with a more "protectant shoe" when I head back to work........:rotfl: :rotfl:

:offtopic:

... ya really want to know what the funny part is.... The patient had this machine on his bed and he was a Bilat. lower ext. knee ampt. of many years ago.:uhoh21: :uhoh21: --- I'm just wondering how the hospital will bill the use of the machine to the patient's insurance company... can you say AUDIT!

Good Luck

I wear Klogs to work in and Dr. Scholl's for school. They are ugly, but after a 12 hour day, your feet will thank you. I also own Z Coils and they are wonderful once you get them broken in, but careful! The springs are bad to grab IV tubing and will "Tug" out a line in a matter of seconds! Best wishes!

I wear Adidas or Spalding running shoes. Great arch support and heel/toe cushioning. I tried Klogs and hated them. They kept flying off my feet when I responded to codes, and I got tired of arriving sans one shoe.

I also get my shoes from a discount sporting goods store. There is usually something decent on sale.

I have looked on there but they do not have ALL WHITE shox. Like the top is white, but the bottom part is a different color. I am looking for the same thing too. Our shoes have to be all white. I have even tried to personalize my own shox on their website, but all white was not an option. Does anyone else know where to get them?

Just got a pair of New Balance 811's, inserted high end gell...total of 80 bucks for next weeks clinicals. Most comfortable shoes I own and they are sneakers disquised as white shoes. Made right in Maine. Find them in an athletic footware store near you!
