Starting clinical; need new shoes! Please help!

[KiwiAngel_18]

Hi all!

I'm starting clinical this week, and I need to buy some shoes. I like clogs, but have never owned a pair. I need some with backs to them (either a strap, or just part of a heel), and ones that your feet don't hurt at the end of the day. Can any CRNA/SRNA recommend a brand that isn't too expensive? Thanks!

You are absolutely right. Everyone's feet respond differently to ventilation or lack thereof. My objection to Danskos and tennis shoes and Birks are not about how much they smell but the price. It's amazing how everyone reads my post and that's all they see. Of course there are people I work with whose feet do not smell. I am just saying if you happen to be one of the few who has that problem then Danskos will be a tough sell because you cannot wash them that often (they are pure leather I think).

I hope the clogs work out for you Dfk. Like I said they get softer the more you wear them. You can always buy the more expensive ones if they don't work out but at least you know you didn't waste a lot of money only to find the shoes are not as comfortable as you hoped. I did that and I have pretty expensive shoes collecting dust in my closet because my feet hurt so badly when I wear them.

Crocs rock!!!!!!!!! Go to the website and they make a new Professional type with no holes on the top. Check it out.

I agree. I couldn't live without my Dansko's! So comfy.

Just bought a pair of Dansko's. How long should I wear them around the house to find out if they'll become more comfortable?
