Nike Monarch shoes are the best shoes for hospital work. They are specifically designed to be "dad shoes". Very comfortable, especially if you are taller and/or bigger than average. I have been re-purchasing this shoe for the last 6 years. I now have a pair for each hospital I work at, as well as my at home shoes.
On doing an internet search again, New Balance is now coming out with their own dad shoes. They might be worth a look. But currently I can vouch for the Nike Monarch shoes.
They're waterproof (and whatever-else you encounter in the OR-proof) and have good grip. They feel like wide relaxed shoes, not at all like awful clogs.
My first choice is European walking shoes in a dark color of course. My second choice is Hoka One One. I have not tried the Ultraboost but it looks like they knocked off the Hoka concept. Imitation is the finest form of flattery. 😉

There’s been a revolution in foam technology in the past 10 years. My favorite is Nike lunar foam. Super plush and light but still durable. Because it’s so plush, I could train in the lunaracer which has a relative thin midsole. The thinner midsole makes it inherently stable without adding a bunch of stability aids.
