I’m sure you’ve noticed when you are in the hospital that a lot of the staff wear running shoes. Why? Well because they are the most comfortable shoes to wear when you’re on your feet all day. They have more support.
I’ve tried the shoes made for nurses in the past and they just weren’t as good as running shoes.
Now, I’m not working in the hospital at the moment. I still have my job but I’m off due to illness. Chris, my husband, on the other hand is an OR attendant and he’s on his feet all day.
It’s time to get him some new shoes! When we’re working we tend to go through running shoes like some people go through socks. He’s started looking for new shoes and I think he might get a pair of Air Jordan running shoes this time around. I don’t think he’s used that brand before but he really likes a couple of the styles.
We’ll probably get him a pair and see how they hold up to being constantly walked in.
Anyone else wear Air Jordan shoes? Are they comfortable? Do they hold up well to a lot of use?
I’m a dental hygienist and I wear Crocs. They just now started making them in white white (as opposed to Pearl White). I know they’re funky looking, but OMG, they’re SO comfortable and as far as them holding up – my daughter who is an athletic trainer wore her last pair every day for over two years and they still looked decent. She loves them, too, and she’s on her feet all day.
Wow I never really realized this. I’ve always wanted to wear sneakers around the office but found it too informal for the setting I’m in. Perhaps I could sneak in a pair of crocs on my cubicle like Kylee
Nothing beats the construction and support of a good right show designed for your particular foot. Do a foot test to find out what kind of arch you have. High arch, Medium arch, of flat arch. If you have a high arch you want a “neutral” running shoe. For average/normal/medium arch you want a “Support/Stability” running shoe. Lastly, if you are flat footed you will want a “Motion Control” running shoe.
