Shoes

How to pick the right shoes for long days of walking and standing in the work.  The classic “nursing” or “operating room” shoe exists for a reason – they are designed to provide the support your feet need during long days of standing and walking.

If you will be standing for long periods on rounds or in procedures, think about getting shoes that slip on and off.  When you are standing for a long time, being able to slide out of your shoes becomes important.  If you’ve been standing for hours it really helps to stretch your calves and change the pressure points.  It’s also easier to step out of your shoes all together and stand barefoot for a little while.  When you are sitting, you can slip them off and let your feet breathe.
You can find shoes that are like clogs in their design, but are made of materials that breathe. They are not only comfortable, but they can be put in the washing machine if they get really dirty at work.
