We’ve collected some of the best nursing shoes below so you can find the right work shoes for you.
Dansko Clogs
Dansko clogs are the classic “Nursing shoe,” and there’s a reason they’ve remained so popular for healthcare workers, teachers, and other professions that require prolonged standing. Their Professional Clog has been a best-seller for over 25 years and provides constant comfort throughout the day. These clogs feature a contoured midsole and outsole for comfort, exposed heel counter for stability. a reinforced toe box for added support, and an anti-fatigue rocker bottom to assist with forward motion while walking.
