NHS workers wipe clean shoes

I'm going to be in scrubs all day. I know lots of people wear crocs but i just can't bring myself to buy a pair. Any suggestions for a stylish comfortable wipe clean pair of shoes would be gratefully received.

Crocs Grin They’re all I use in work; but I have seen people wearing wipe clean trainers with lots of cute designs.

Mind they have to be anti static and no holes on top so it limits the stylish shoes.

Toffeln ezi clogs used to do funky designs, not sure if they still do

If the job requires you to be in scrubs all day then yes they should be providing suitable footwear too
Toffeln are very popular in healthcare .. crocs do have some that are less awful than the cheap things you are thinking of
Does it really matter ? If you are at work you need to be safe and comfortable.. not stylish ?

We had no choice and had to wear Toffeln in surgery. My manager always ordered them, there was no way in hell I'd be paying for them.

I'm in clinic but not in theatre. I've been told scrubs will be provided but not shoes. Will have a look at Toffeln.

Leave at work mon to Friday
Take home in a wash bag and wash on the weekend
Would be caught dead in clinic in crocs - sooooo sweaty!

But then I also bought my own scrubs as I was sick of trying to wear the man fit top you can see a bra down and the xxxxl bottoms like clown pants as all the other sizes were gone by 8am

I wear Skechers soo comfy, they're black fake leather so can't get er body fluids soaked in & therefore wipeable.
I leave them in a separate bag at work.

I wear black fitflop clogs. Sketchers and Nike do suitable versions too.
Birkinstocks have some nice designs but I find them a bit heavy.
