Healthcare workers/Drs/people who are on their feet all day (shoes)

Try clarks, or M&S footgloves.

I sit on my arse all day, but my mum has a shop and loves footgloves from m&s. if they still do them

styles are a bit plain though

My friend is a nurse and swears by Ecco shoes.

My mum loved her Eccos too, they aren't cheap but apparently worth every penny.

I used to wear Docs when I worked on the wards, and wear Clarks currently for scanning.

Docs take a bit of wearing in, but they last forever, and they look professional.

I wear clarks for work.

Thank you all.

I'm off to look at all your suggestions.

My sister, who also works on her feet, swears by Hotter shoes. She said it was like walking on air, but she can't remember which ones she got! ?

I'm a junior Dr and currrently wearing a pair of Clark's. I survived my first 6 months in cheaper shoes (shoefayre etc) but then went to Clarks and would never go back.

Comfy shoes - the best investment ever if you work in a hospital environment.

I do not understand how any of my colleagues can live in heels for a 12 hour + day. At the very least I reckon it makes running to arrests pretty dangerous (and slow).

Some are surprisingly OK https://www.marksandspencer.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/marksandspencer

DMs or HiTec Midnites.

Iv got a pair of clarks black lace ups which are so comfortable.

a few girls at work have MBTs which have a massive sole but they are supposedly very good for your back and improve your posture. the girls swear by them.

millets are doing them for £69.99

hth

they've expanded the range loads since i last saw them. last time i looked they where just plain with a small wedge heel

There are loads of websites that sell clogs aimed at health care workers, steptoes, world of clogs etc even crocs do a professional version, I have some Dms though. I have tried M and S and Clarks etc but I am really heavy on shoes and they don't last me longer than 6 weeks. All the Dms I've bought have lasted me years.

Try Flyflots,they have a website and you can get them from Idealworld shopping channel and website.theyre super comfy in loads of styles and non whiffy cos theyre antibac too

I work in events and can quite easily be on my feet for 12+ hours a day. Without doubt the most comfortable shoes are a pair I have from clarks that have a rubber wedge sole. You don't walk you "boing" , they are fabulous but very, very ugly!

Oh gosh! I wasn't expecting so many suggestions!

Thank you so much for all your recommendations, I will do a bit of reading up to chose which styles I like.

All throught my placements I wore a variety of sketchers. I have slightly wider feet and found them so comfy and not restricting, yuo should be able to get a nice black pair.

When I qualified I worked as an ITU nurse for 3 years, wore by sketcher for 1st year then crocs for the last 2.

Loved my crocs, but i guess you might not be allowed them. We wore turquoise scrubs and I had both fuschia and turquoise crocs.

I have Clarks shoes, but for the ultimate comfort try flyflots.

Snap, again. I got mine from Amazon.

Waaaaaahh! This is too spooky now Lumpy! lol

I'm a nurse and I wear DMs

I can wear trainers so wear those a lot but I do also have some mega comfy shoes. They are all Clarks or M and S. Got to be comfy!

I have these sketchers

I love them they are really comfy.

Vicbic, are you going to Salford Uni? Sorry if I am wrong I seem to remember talking to someone on BT a while ago and was wondering if it was you.

Another vote for Clarks - just bought two pairs. I'm a teacher and fed up of my feet killing after a day in £12 jobs form New Look.

They last ages and once they're a bit worn in are very comfy.

I've got a pair of HARRIET KELLY shoes from Clarks.

Best £35 I've spent on my feet.

Well remembered ?? I start on Monday! eeeekkkkkkkk

Is it nurse training you are doing?

Are you doing nursing vicbic?

When you get round to doing pathophysiology let me know, ive got some textbooks here i was gonna put on ebay, but if you wanted them i'll sell you either one of them.

£5 each plus postage. They cost me £40 each!

If there is anything i can help you with just shout

Hello all! More fab ideas. Thank you!

I am going to study Diagnostic Radiography. From what I have seen of Radiographers they spend a lot of their day on their feet, hence the good shoes questions. ?

I happened to be at the hospital today and I was eyeing up footwear. Everyone seemed to be wearing crocs. I really really don't like Crocs so I shan't get them, even if they are more comfortable than a bed. ?

My scholl's are soo comfy, it doesn't even feel like I have any shoes on!

They aren't the fashion shoe of the year, but I don't care - comfort is way to important!

Just a quick reply before work, thanks for this thread. I'm also on my feet all day working in tihs type of environment, at the moment I just wear these white, slip on, rubber type shoes that I was given with uniform, however I have noticed others wear crocs, also not a huge fan so will have a look at the links in this thread.
