With 12 hours shifts walking from room to room, medical professionals spend their days on their feet tending to other people. Nurses and caregivers therefore want a combination of comfort and support in their shoes. The following types footwear come highly recommended by those in the medical field.

3 Popular Types of Footwear Nurses Swear By

1. Clogs

Designed to provide foot-contouring support in the toe and arch, clogs are ideal for long, demanding days. The medical field can sometimes be messy and unsanitary, so your chosen clogs should be easy to clean in addition to providing support.

2. Slip-Ons

Their comfortable design allows you to put them on and take them off quickly. However, with the open back design, you lose the gripping back and shock absorbing heel, which will make running difficult.

3. Athletic Shoes

What better way to get around than in your best pair of athletic shoes? They are comfortable, stylish, and can provide the right support if you know what type suits your foot contour. Their lightweight design allows for quick travel and stability. Look for a sturdy fabric design that stands up to wear and tear and is easy to clean up.
