Birkenstock are my Favorits

Ecco's are by far the best, but I don't wear them to work cuz I don't want to take the chance of getting bodily fluids on them. So, I wear my Merrell slip-ons. If you ever put them on, you'll never wear anything else. Crocs make my arches cramp.......I need support. I just ordered my second pair of Merrell primo breeze in black after wearing the first pair for 7 years. They still look great, but my daughter has been begging me to give them to her.

Danskos. At the end of my 12s my feet and back doesnt hurt, even after 3 in a row!

The Sketcher shape-ups win that prize for me hands down.  I have tried all kinds of shoes through nursing school and working - New Balance, Dansko's, Crocs, Nike Air Max... and the shape-ups win by a mile!

The ones i have used are Nurse Mates, Marci style

these are very good

i work Min 12hr shifts and they have

zero braking in time ( so no sore toes)

Seem to do well after doing showers and getting a little wet.

well priced and very durable

I just made sure i waterproofed them with some Dublin first.

The amount of

footwear I  have gone through alot and i found these the best

also Doc Martins are quite good but expensive.

Nurses Only

I love Sanitta's especially the ones from www.theswanx.com

I wear these (Nike Shox classic II) in white and silver... http://www.footlocker.com/catalog/productdetail/model_nbr--100968/sku--43900111&SID=8732&inceptor=1&cm_mmc=SEO-_-Feeds-_-Froogle-_-null

they are super comfortable and I get lots of compliments on them from the nursing staff and even patients. A lot of other students bought the nursing shoes recommended by the uniform store and their feet are hurting all day but not mine :)

Cape Clogs, last a lifetime and are very comfortable.They come in really cute prints - leaopard print, skull print, flowers, dots, etc. They also offer some in solid colors too. They are made in Sweden, each one individually made.

How about Anywears from Cherokee? The injected clogs - anyone have experience in those clogs?

Thanks!

I went through a couple of pairs in school that were ok, and only my shape-ups let me work my 12 hour shifts with minimal pain.

I started with a Nursemates that laced up and wore them for years in the ED - good for running! They are not available anymore.

Now I stand more , so Dansko it is!

i like cherokee with step in style

What I do know about shoes, I no longer try to buy a cheap pair. You usually get what you pay for!

i am a shoe fanatic...i switch it out between my asics, new balance, nike shox, and nike reax.

Love, love, love my Klogs.  They are like walking on clouds all day...couldn't do 12 hours without them.
