The best shoes for healthcare workers

Finding the best shoes for healthcare workers can often be a challenge. As you would expect, if you’re a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional you are on your feet most of the day so therefore what you wear on your feet makes a significant impact to your day.
Standing for hours in theatre or on a ward puts your lower extremities under a lot of stress. So, if you are consistently wearing unsupportive shoes, you could develop achy arches, joint pain and other uncomfortable problems.
In an ideal world, you need a shoe that is durable but also lightweight for comfort and for them to be able to keep up with the demands of your day-to-day role. In addition, a slip-resistant sole is key to avoid any injuries or falls.
