Medical scrubs, uniforms, and nursing shoes are probably the three most important articles of clothing in the medical profession. Ankles, hips, and backs take a beating when you stand for long periods of time, and properly cushioned shoes are of the utmost importance.
Nursing shoes should not be a fashion statement. Health care workers need shoes that have good arch support, durable outer and inner lining, and that fit perfectly. Even a shoe that is a bit too big or too small can cause numerous problems for people who wear them. That is why it is important to take time and find a shoe that is just the right size.
Price should only be a factor if you feel that your new nursing shoes are way over the average. Medical scrubs, uniforms, and nursing shoes tend to hover around a solid average price. Anything far above or below that amount should act as a warning sign that the shoe is either of very low quality or is over-priced. If you work in a large health care facility, and if you are new to the profession, ask some of your older co-workers where they buy their shoes, what they paid, and how long they have had them. It never hurts to use the experience of others in the quest for good shoes.
