Can anyone recommend a good shoe for surgical nurses in the OR?

Question

I am new at this job and all of the standing was killing my back this first week. I have tried my nike shox, I have tried my danskos and nothing seems to help. I have ordered a pair of Klogs to try.

Answer 1

Crocs - they make them with out holes which is good for the OR.

Answer 2

I have flat feet, and overpronate, which means that my arches kill me at the end of the day cause I stand all day. I am a physician.

I alternate between my New Balance running shoes (for overpronators) and also a pair of Earth shoes that actual stretch my arches and feels good when I walk. They are goofy looking, but I don't care anymore because I am too old. They are kinda pricey too. Try them on at the mall, and then buy them online or ebay.

Answer 3

Dusty Klogs USA have been the best OR shoe I have found. They not only are comfortable and last forever because they are made of polyurethane but you only have to replace the insoles about once a year. I have had mine for at least five years and they look like new. I have really bad feet and have tried everything. I always go back to these. Got most of the OR girls wearing them.

Answer 4

Crocs are okay, I guess...Here are a few sites that have some pretty good 'surgeon' shoes:

Answer 6

Crocs! They come in all different colors to max different color scrubs, you don't really have to care if blood gets on them,...you just wash them off. Even if you cover your shoes, the blood could seep through the kind that are riddled with holes

Look for the clog type crocs that have no holes. If you wear them without socks, you will get blood on them, otherwise the blood may appear on your foot.
