Best shoes?

[yawninglots]

Anyone have an opinion about best shoes for long days on your feet spent running around the hospital? Not a huge fan of dansko...any others?

I just got a pair of Super birki clogs a few months ago and like them for long hours of standing. I also like my Asics Gel-Kayano's for days when I'm moving around alot more.

there is a super long thread about shoes thats really good, but i believe its in the clinical rotations forum. i'd search there, if i remember correctly it was a pretty good thread with lots of opinions.

I love my Danskos. But I also have Clarks clogs that are really comfortable.

And here's one of the old threads about shoes:

I refuse to wear danskos, clogs, or anthing related, but I do have quite a collection of brightly colored sneakers (pumas, kangaroos, etc.). I wear these whether I am in scrubs or dress pants. It's the best of both worlds...my feet don't hurt and I don't have to wear those ugly danskos!

Keens, Keens, Keens. At least for my feet, they are a godsend. I have Danskos and they just don't cut it for me. I bought some Keens at the beginning of intern year and even after 30 hours in the hospital my feet don't hurt at all. You've just got to find what works for your feet, though. Good luck!

New Balance sneakers or Merrills.

Although frankly, while the latter were comfortable, they were not as comfortable as my sneakers, I thought they were uglier and harder to clean. Much more expensive as well.

I always had a "thing" against clogs.
