I'm a clarks unloop faithful but they are hideous aren't they. Looking for comfy nurse shoes that aren't awful looking? That will look decent with trousers and dresses. I'm a size 8. Thank you

Most nursery wear sketchers on our hospital

I’m a die hard unloops fan and I don’t care that they are ugly 😂😂

GeraniumJenny · 14/07/2024 19:19

Unloops are a good nurses shoe. Better the devil you know…

I wear Toffeln. I previously wore sketchers but they didn’t give me enough support in the long term. My Toffeln are not too hideous to look at and are very comfortable. They come with 3 different insoles do you can select the ones you find best suit you.

Skechers, always.

DN and her colleagues wear Crocs for nursing.

Skechers here! Love them. Although I did also love my unloops that I had as a student!

I love my unloops!

I didn't find sketchers gave me enough support.

I also wear crocs which are suuuper comfy but also ugly

We all wear Crocs, super comfy, super ugly but easy to keep clean and fresh. Let's face it, nursing isn't a glamorous profession and whether you are a size 8 or a size 18, it's comfort that matters more than appearance.

FelicityBeedle · 14/07/2024 20:52

I wear sketchers Mary Jane’s but I’m considering a move to crocs or croc pumps (HCA not nurse)

thatstakingalongtimetoboil · 14/07/2024 20:52

Sketchers work wear.

Comfortable feet matter so much more than having attractive shoes, @Nurseynurse665.

qwertyasdfgzxcv · 14/07/2024 21:00

IntI as that as nursing as in breastfeeding and couldn't get my head round why you would need comfy shoes!

NursieBirder · 14/07/2024 21:55

I love my Legero raven shoes. So comfortable and supportive.

Thought you meant special shoes to breastfeed in!

SauvignonBlanche · 14/07/2024 22:24

DMs for me, much less ugly than Unloops 😆

YesItsMe44 · 14/07/2024 22:25

Alegria are very comfortable.

Do Crocs go up to a size 18?! My friend is a 15 and finds it so hard to get shoes, I will let them know!!! Thanks.

Bjorkdidit · 14/07/2024 22:31

I think the size 18 is a woman's clothes size. I don't know if it's the OPs shoes or clothes that are a size 8.

Revelatio · 14/07/2024 22:34

Oh! I just assumed foot size as we were all talking about shoes, not sure why clothes size would be relevant when talking about shoes?

No because we are in the UK, so when er say 'nursing', we mean being nurses.

Copperoliverbear · 14/07/2024 23:19

Crocs. ? Hoka trainers.

AgathaMystery · 14/07/2024 23:23

I wear Clarks agriffin Mia in patent. Each pair lasts about 4-5 years which is good. I never have sore feet at work.

I go between Skechers, dr martens and kickers I like to rotate 🤣

Ioverslept · 14/07/2024 23:27

I'm not a nurse but when I have been to hospital or GP surgery I have never ever looked at ir noticed the nurse's shoes, just go for comfort.
