Foot glove wider fitting from M&S. black leather slip on plain flat with cushioned sole.

Not stylish but comfortable and compliant with uniform policy!

Ecco or Clarks or rieker will cost more but better value long term Clarks 20% off online with order to store and try it first

Me and a lot of the nurse I know wear these Clarks Unstructured.

Bloody ugly as shoes go, but so so comfy. I'm on only my second pair since 2008 too so they last despite all the work!

Dare say it...Hotter. I'm a teacher so also on feet all day, I love love shoes, and avoid frumpy type shoes at all cost, but bought the most fashionable ones I could find. They are the most comfortable things I have ever ever worn, knock the rest into a cocked hat. They are not all hideous...well actually most of them are, but if you look for the odd nice pair you might be suprised

I've got an ugly pair of shoe fitflops with orthotic soles in. Very comfy and to be honest I don't care that they look ugly because I can't walk far in 'normal' shoes.

Camper? They are a very narrow fit!

Sorry I wasn't around to say yes, wide and deep. Hotter are British made and v like ecco. If you're on your feet all day you want good shock absorbing soles and a strap or lace up to keep them on whilst allowing your toes to wiggle a bit.
Frump disclaimer... I'm a Podiatrist!

I find Clarks are never wide enough and are expensive for what you get I reclon- M&S wide fit are much better for me and are much more reasonably priced. Joseph Seibel shoes were in my local Costco this week - so if you have a card might be worth popping in for a look.

Gabor are often good and do a wider fit but are ££

Thanks everyone - ended up getting the clarks unstructured ones in half size bigger . They are very comfortable and feel very supportive.
Found the m&s ones too narrow and no costco card.

No problem ggirl :) they're like slippers aren't they? I did a bank shift on a ward a few days ago and every single female staff member inc me was wearing them! Think nurses must keep Clarks in business...

Same as MrsMeow. Lovely comfy shoes. Bit pricey but lasts ages!
