OR Shoes

[Status Sciaticus]

I'm in Podiatry. Pull one of us aside after cases and have us take a look at your feet and we can suggest some shoes. Hoka, Brooks, New Balance are great options. I wear new balance with removable orthotics cause I have flat feet.

Unsurprisingly, Texas is working hard to get rid of the second thing that comes from Texas.

The quote is "only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't look much like a steer now do ya?"

a little bit of this and a little bit of that. My comment was made tongue-in-cheek.

This has been an ongoing issue for me since training. Here is my breakdown.

Tennis shoes: tend to wear out quickly, top of shoe usually not sturdy enough to prevent any kind of sharp from going through it if it fell off a table or something, overall good support while they last.
Boots: sturdy with great support, clunky and my feet were drenched in sweat at the end of every day
Crocs: wear out quickly, feet get really cold in the OR. I lose traction really easy with them and would nearly wipe out at times on wet surfaces.
Danskos and anything without a heel: weaker ankle support and tough to walk fast when needed.

I eventually settled on a Birkenstock shoe with a normal to low ankle rise. Great support with the cork bottoms and the under-sole has not worn down at all. Very good grip and a leather foot top for protection.

Which Birkenstock shoes do you have? I have Oswegos which I like. Bend Low’s don’t have cork but maybe they’re comfortable anyway? I think Callan would be nice if they’d make black coating for the cork.

I got the oofos and adidas ultraboosts based on the recs here.

The oofos remind me of higher quality crocs, would seem pretty good for flat footed individuals but i didnt like them.

The adidas ultraboosts are great overall, my new shoe.

Crocs LiteRide 360 pacer is meh

I bought a couple pairs of Samuel Hubbard shoes and really like them for comfort and quality. The company was started by the Rockport founder before his death. Another thing is I have bought some Unbound Merino shirts when working alone.
