What shoes do you wear?

Forgive me if this has already been talked about but I did a brief search and could not find anything I was looking for.

What brand of sneakers do you wear? I've never worn through shoes like I do with this job!

Most wear athletic type tennis shoes. I still wear my dansko. Love them.

I buy the cheap athletic shoes sold at Target or Payless. I've found that the shoes do not bother me and I don't feel so bad about spilling stuff on them or throwing them out after getting my money's worth of wear.

Birkenstock. Pricy but they last forever.

I wear these slip on Skechers. They're easy to slip on and off. Not that other shoes are hard to put on but I'll take a break anywhere I can get it. I clean them with a rag and white shoe polish once every week or so to keep them looking clean. I like that they don't have laces that get dingy looking.

I'm not loyal to any particular brand. I wear sneakers in the spring, summer and fall and boots in the winter.

Nothing but Danskos on these nurse feet!

I used to wear Birkinstock exclusively, but started having plantar fasciitis. Now wearing Orthaheel with no problems. Tennis shoes/sneakers do not provide enough support for this flat-footed nurse, lol!

I have been wearing Crocs (if you knew the hate I have for these ugly shoes), BUT they are comfy, don't aggravate my plantar fasciitis, and are easy to get on and off. One client requires shoes off in the home; the other makes a water park of the shower.

I wear Alegria...they have slip resistant bottoms. They are priced pretty comparable to Danskos. I've had them since February and they still feel good on my feet.
