Clark Unloops

LittleCabbage · 03/04/2020 16:35

Black crocs - the version without side holes. I wear them for a clincal role and find them v comfy (wear them with the back strap).

I wear kickers Mary Janes for community and black crocs (no holes, they’re also a slimmer fit version) for the wards.

Bienentrinkwasser · 03/04/2020 16:38

Fit flops do some okay-ish ones style-wise.

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 03/04/2020 16:39

Clark’s unloops.
Sketchers Mary Janes.

If your looking for more sports brand don't go for Nike, I find them very hard. Addidas trainers are softer on the feet for 12/13hr shifts.

Clarks 'Funny Dream'
Stylish, they're not!

SagaBauer · 03/04/2020 16:43

Clarks Unloops are the comfiest but so, so ugly on my already wide feet.
I'm currently wearing sketchers go walks as recommended by a colleague, but they are not very supportive and my feet ache not even halfway through a shift. I've tried insoles in them but still not supportive enough for me.

Reginabambina · 03/04/2020 16:46

I have these, incredibly comfortable, easy to get on and off and they look much better on. You can get them in both black and white.

Work crocs. I use them for my very busy catering job. Long hours, on my feet all day, and the work crocs are great. You can even put them in the dishwasher :)

Terralee · 03/04/2020 16:52

Clarks trigenics, black, nubuck, in a Mary Jane style, not exactly stylish but not ugly & extremely comfy I can walk miles round the ward for hours plus they wipe clean.

Pineappletree33 · 03/04/2020 16:52

Sister, mum and mil swear by Clarks.

sunglasses123 · 03/04/2020 16:54

Hotter. I am on my feet all day and I brought them one size bigger than normal and wear thermal socks. Definitely need to try them on. You will know as soon as you put them on whether they are suitable. Mine are like slippers. Slip ons are good.

Terralee · 03/04/2020 16:57

Sorry just had a look & Clarks no longer sell the shoes I've got.

Potionqueen · 03/04/2020 17:50

Clark’s unloops. I’m retired but have just reregistered on the NMC Covid 19 nursing register and will be going back to work somewhere.
Used to wear unloops and they where amazing. Will be buying a new pair of unloops for when I’m called up.

BackyardChickens · 03/04/2020 17:58

I wear Sketchers go walk. Never had any problems.

Atla · 03/04/2020 18:20

I've had all types. Sketchers definitely the comfiest x

Fleurdebleurgh · 03/04/2020 18:24

Another chiming in for the ever-stylish 🤣Unloops or Funny Dream! (Both Clarks)

BoswellsBollocks · 03/04/2020 18:26

Hotter Glove or Sugar.

BoswellsBollocks · 03/04/2020 18:29

If you can have lace ups Hotter Gravity are super comfy.

MrScottsTopHat · 03/04/2020 19:39

I've gone with Clark's cloud-steppers.

They look v comfortable!
