What Are Good Shoes For Nurses?

Posted on 12/29/2009 by nursing| 6 Comments

My mom is a nurse and she wants to know what shoes are good for standing around taking care of babies (she’s a NICU nurse). She’s been having toruble with her ankle because of the shoes she was wearing. Thanks!

    I am also a nurse and am on my feet for hours at a time. The only shoe that I will work in is New Balance. Sometimes a little pricey, but, well worth the bucks. If I catch them on sale, I buy 2 pr, 1 for now and 1 for later. Tell her to give them a try.

    Need to try the shoes personally with a little broader toe side and very soft bottom sole at least one to one and a half inch thick. Also heel to front sole ratio should be 2:1 or at least 2:1&1/2 particularly if the heels become sore after prolonged standing and or walking. As you know nice comfortable shoes are important for good care of the feet.

    Tell her to look up Orthotics.
    And NOOOOO to crocs. Those things will ruin her feet.

    I’m not a nurse, but almost all of them wear crocs.
