Men's Nursing Shoes

Look for shoes with cushioned insoles, a slip-resistant sole, a closed toe and wipe-clean uppers. A secure heel and a supportive midsole help reduce fatigue. Check your workplace dress code, and try shoes on at the end of a shift when your feet are slightly larger.

Many nurses wear clogs because they are easy to clean and quick to slip on and off. Look for a secure heel strap and a slip-resistant sole. If you walk a lot, a sneaker may give you more cushioning and a more secure fit.

Shoes that are worn for long shifts usually need replacing every six to twelve months. Signs include flattened cushioning, worn treads and uneven wear. Rotating two pairs helps each one last longer and gives the cushioning time to recover. Ask us if you are unsure.

Wipe the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry them with a clean towel. Check the care label before using disinfectant wipes, as some can damage materials. Let your shoes air out between shifts to keep them fresh.
