best shoes for nurses 2012

Most CNAs in my area wear different kinds of shoes. I remember, one of my co-workers said, ” Don’t buy expensive shoes when working as a CNA, it will not last long. Of course, when working as a CNA, it is part of our job to bring residents for “shower” everyday and our shoes get wet.

But my husband has a different point of view. He advised me to buy good quality shoes. One of his co-worker mentioned about a certain products that most of them have tested. They’re not working as a CNA of course. They were talking about taking care of your feet and your entire body. Walk comfortably and less stress. Since I started using this shoes, It really makes a great difference. I love walking, as if I was walking on my bed.
He ordered me a dansko nursing shoes. Wow! It really makes a difference. Even it gets wet every day, I feel comfortable and less tired. I was trying to find the exact model but I couldn’t find it. Anyways, as long as it’s a Dansko, I am highly recommending it.
In this post, I will be featuring different shoes that CNAs’ are using based on my online and offline research. Also you can vote for your favorite nursing shoes below.

This review is from: Dansko Women’s Professional Oiled Leather Clog (Apparel)
I’ve been wearing this pair of Danskos for 5 years and they’re still holding strong. The insole does feel a bit hard to me these days, so it needs a thin cushy insole. Otherwise, they look great, I run a polishing cloth thingy over them every couple months to add a bit of gloss to them. These Danskos were more expensive than other shoes, but they’re worth it, they’re great quality and built to last. They won’t fall apart on you.

High quality leather upper follows the natural contours of the foot. Oiled Leather is a heavily oiled, matte-finish leather with optimal pliability and moisture resistance. Oiled Nubuck has the same closely napped, silky feel as Nubuck, but with noticeably more oil tanned into the leather. Naturally occurring blemishes are slightly more visible in these tannages and suggest a more rugged appearance. Latigo leather has a smooth, tight grain and semi-gloss to transparent finish.

Amazon customer review

As a nurse, I’m on my feet for most of my 8 hour shift. These shoes keep my feet comfortable all day and when I take them off at night, my feet don’t ache like they used to. I also don’t “walk-over” on my heels.
