White Nursing Student Shoes

Published

Specializes in Neurology/Neurosurgery.

Hello! My program recommends leather/leather-like white "nursing shoes" for clinicals. Honestly, not looking to spend over $40. Can you share a link (preferably Amazon) of the ones you might have heard of or own?

Thanks, yall!

Try 6pm. They do zappos' clearance and I've found Allegria shoes for $35 there at times.

I got a cheap pair of white shoes at Payless and put Dr Scholl's in them and they are fine.

I've checked the uniform stores near me, and none carry white. The sales associate told me that this is because only nursing students buy white ? super helpful!

You can check out any uniform stores near you just to see the fit of different brands. I'd buy 'em cheaper offline once you know what you're looking for.

I did try the danskos just see.. and it felt like i was standing on two bricks.

At this point, leather sneakers are sounding pretty good for me, but maybe you'll have better luck!

I never understood the hype with danskos. They're so uncomfortable.

This is what I used to do. Before that, I found a cheap pair of flats at Mervyn’s that were perfect for comfort and price. Bragged about them to everyone on the job. When I went back for a third pair, they had been discontinued. Now no more Mervyn’s or Payless at all for us cheapskates.
