Shoes For Nurses
Hospitals and clinics can be rather busy. If you work as a nurse, you likely know all about this and experience it practically every day. To keep you and your feet at their best throughout the entire shift, you need a proper pair of shoes to provide ideal support and comfort. Are your old shoes not quite cutting it anymore or are they simply worn out? In this guide, we provide you with a few tips and ideas to help you select the best work shoes for nurses.
Working in a hospital or a clinic as a nurse typically includes a lot of visits to various patient rooms and potentially standing up for long durations. Whether you conduct countless patient check-ups, spend several hours in the ER or operating room, or rush around in the hospital or clinic’s corridors, a normal workday as a nurse can often put your feet under a lot of stress. Therefore, when you finally clock out for the day, your feet will likely be as tired as you. That is why it is essential for you to not just hop into any pair of shoes for your coming shift, as you are never certain of what kind of day awaits you and how much you will be on the move. Hopefully, with our little guide here, you can pick up a few helpful considerations for your choice of work shoes as a nurse and discover which ECCO® shoes suit your needs the best.
What are good work shoes for nurses?
Good work shoes for nurses should support whatever awaits you on your shift and help you get comfortably through the long hours. For most purposes, look for shoes that include one or more of these features:
Durable and lightweight - You will likely need a pair of work shoes for nurses that are lightweight with a natural feel yet durable to handle working long hours, so you don’t have to look for new work shoes frequently.
Stability - You may want to look for shoes with soles that can help you maintain stability and good traction, as anything can happen in hospitals or clinics.
Support and cushioning - For standing or walking a good pair of work shoes for nurses require high support and cushioning to get you through even the longest shifts.
Easy to keep clean - Working as a nurse can easily result in dirty, stained, or wet shoes. Therefore, look for shoes that are easy to keep clean and use our ECCO Repel Spray for added protection against stains and liquids. You can also go all-out and get shoes with integrated GORE-TEX technology for water-resistant wear.
Selected ECCO® styles that are great for nurses
Sticking with sneakers and other shoes that offer light, flexible wear with solid cushioning and support are, for most purposes, your first place to start your search in the pursuit of the most comfortable shoes for nurses. Many nurses prefer running shoes or shoes that provide much of the same benefits as athletic footwear. As such, we concentrate our selected recommendations for ECCO® shoes that combine sports-like performance, contemporary style, and naturally high support. Discover the special benefits of each shoe under its product details.
