Stylish shoes for a nurse

8 replies

Hi all, I am a specialist nurse and have been non-uniform for years. However, since corona, our trust has decided to implement a uniform. I am having dresses, but I'm struggling with shoes. I'm normally a heels, pencil skirt, and blouse kind of nurse, so I finding the search for sensible black flat shoes a bit daunting.

They have to be comfy, soft souled, flat, and black...but ideally I would like them to be a bit stylish. I'm not ward based, and I'm not on my feet all day like ward nurses are.

Suggestions and links gladly welcomed!!!

Vet nurse here :)

Skechers Go Walk are probably the favourite work shoe of all my colleagues. Not sure if they fit your definition of stylish, but for work shoes they're ok. They are an on-your-feet-all-day shoe so perhaps not what you're after. Think they come in all black too.

I remember getting my very first nursing shoes in 'Ecco'
They are expensive but are like gloves for your feet. A lot of people have the assumption they are for older people, but they have some very stylish ranges and most importantly amongst all this corona, they are wipeable.
I am just wearing Nike's at the moment though as I work in A&E and need to have got running shoes as the department is quite large!

I love my Clark’s “funny dream”. Some people think they’re pretty odd looking, but I think they have a nice Scandi / retro feel.

I wear crocs from the at work and the flat range, not the normal old style crocs and have done for years and no one will believe they are crocs, I have a high arch and a slim foot and find them very comfortable

All black converse

Allbirds merino shoes in black. They are washable and comfortable. GP here and can wear long emergency shift. Can wear without socks too so get that bare glimpse of an ankle look which I like.

Schuh- Red or dead range well worth the money
