The question often arises, what are the best shoes for nurses and healthcare professionals?

The answer is not all that complicated, however, as there are so many choices in brands and models of shoes that are ideal for nurses.

Athletic shoes are quite a good choice, and brands such as Skechers shoes for Nurse have a wide variety.

Why Nurses Need Good Shoes

Working as a nurse holds many risks, and you can also become uncomfortable and suffer pain from being on your feet all day.

Here are a few reasons as to why you need proper footwear as a nurse;

Slips and Falls – For the most part, hospital and clinic floors can be extremely slippery on their own, not to mention should they get wet or greased. As a nurse, you are on your feet, standing, walking, and sometimes having to run to get to a patient. A slip and fall can lead to some serious injuries, which may also mean that you need time off work.
Foot Pain and Fatigue – Being on your feet all day on hard and unyielding floors does take its toll on your feet and can cause your feet to become tired and painful. Especially in areas such as the heel and the balls of the feet, pain may be felt.
Other Foot Issues – Improper-fitting shoes can squeeze or chafe your feet. Shoes that do not breathe well may become sweaty, which increases your risk for infections and odors. Bunions and Calluses or corns may form from pressure in your shoes.
Back and Hip Pain – Without the proper support from your footwear, the way you walk and your posture may be affected, which in turn may lead to back and hip pain.
Spills – Most nurses do need waterproof shoes in case there is a spill that may land on their shoes.

Here are a few features that you can look for in a good shoe for nurses;

Good Fit – Make sure that your shoes fit properly. Your heels should not slip in and out of the shoe, and there should be no pressure on your toes or feet.
Roomy Toe Box – Opt for shoes with a more roomy toe box that allows you to evenly splay out your toes and your feet to relax without any pressure points.
Slip Resistance – Look for shoes that have a high traction rubber outsole with a lug tread to offer good slip resistance.
Support and Cushioning – Make sure the shoe has proper arch support and offers good midsole and underfoot cushioning to absorb shock and keep your feet properly aligned.
Rocker Sole – A Rocker sole design shoe is ideal, especially if you have foot issues or weak ankles. A rocker sole reduces pressure on your feet.
Easy to Clean – Working as a nurse is a dirty work, and you will need to clean your shoes often, so choose shoes that clean easily and that dry quickly.

Uppers – Skechers shoes for nurse come with a variety of uppers materials. They can be mesh, engineered mesh, knit or leather, and synthetic materials. If you need something more waterproof, I would recommend opting for the leather and synthetic models.
Comfort and Support Features – Depending on the specific model, Skechers shoes all have a foam or EVA midsole that may offer soft or firmer support and shock absorbency. Inside you will find a softer insole that may be memory foam or Goga Mat.
Outsole – Most Skechers shoes have a rubber outsole. Their work shoe range is slip-resistant according to industry standards and safe for work.
Options – Depending on the model or range, Skechers shoes generally offer more colors. However, we will be looking at mostly white shoes for nurses. They also have wider width fit options.
