What shoes do Podiatrists recommend for Nurses?Updated 10 months ago
A large part of a nurse’s day (and night) is spent on his or her feet, in the ER or otherwise. What it means is that their feet are under tremendous strain. Podiatrists, therefore, recommend shoes that offer maximum support and which go a long way in reducing the strain on the foot. With hospital wards having hard floors, the first requirement is for the shoes to have the right cushioning that reduces strain on the foot. Additionally, what is needed is to have room in the forefoot to prevent any compressive injuries and to accommodate feet that naturally expand throughout the day. Moreover, the shoes need to be slip-resistant, which keeps them from slipping on slick hospital floors. It is for all these reasons that Snibbs are widely recommended by podiatrists.
