Birkenstock Nurses Shoes?
September 13th, 2008
What? Are you crazy? When I think of Birkenstock, my mind does not immediately flash to nurses. Instead it does flash back to some party-happy, college friends that enjoyed Pink Floyd and The Doors.
Birkenstock, much like Crocs, do not bring to mind a vision of style and elegance either, but those days are changing. Both Crocs and Birkenstock nurses shoes can be found in a variety of styles that look both professional and stylish.
Style aside, the main questions when it comes to finding the perfect nursing shoes are they comfortable and SAFE. With nursing shoes being undoubtedly the most important piece of your uniform, prices can be somewhat expensive ranging from $80-150%2B, so investing the time to research which one of the dozens of nursing shoes should be a high priority. Anything less than the perfect shoe could cost you more in the long run resulting in injuries to your feet, ankles, and back.
With over 2000 hours on your feet every year just at work, nurses can do some pretty severe damage to their spine and ankles thus limiting the years they will be able to continue working effectively. Light, comfortable shoes are very important not just for your general mood but can really subtract from your bank account.
Crocs Professionals can be a world cheaper, starting at only $30. While not every employer allows Crocs because of the open areas in the shoes and even some states have banned medical workers from wearing them for safety reasons, almost all clogs still win the popularity votes hands down.
Some questions when searching for a safe, dependable, shoe:
1.) Are they slip resistant?
2.) Do they stay in place on your feet?
3.) Are they light or heavy?
4.) Are they easy to clean?
5.) Are they fluid resistant?
6.) Are they quiet?
Which do you prefer? Crocs, Dansko, or Birkenstock nurses shoes.
