Hi! I'm a med student at Queen's University currently completing in-hospital training and have struggled to find shoes that are functional for a long day of work. I'd really appreciate your insights.

Have you checked with the podiatry students' forum?

Would not recommend clog-like shoe. This type of shoe fails to secure heel, more likely to cause plantar fasciitis. Also, certain foot types, pes planus v. pes cavus require different shoes. A maximum pronator may require a Hoka like shoe, while a supinated foot would do better in a less supportive shoe. Cavus feet are more rigid and require additional cushioning. A pronated foot requires more support. No one shoe will fit all feet.
