I know dress code is usually scrubs. What about shoes ? I'm too cheap to buy Danskos. Can I wear crocs ? Are holes in the crocs okay, or do they have to be solid ? Are socks required ? Do people wear sneakers too ? Thanks.

Sneakers mostly if the dress code is scrubs.

Dude buy the danskos. I wish someone told me about them before. They're worn by practically every OMFS resident I know and by almost every physician at the hospital because they're so comfortable and can easily be slipped on and off. It's going to take you like a month to break them in.

You can't wear open toed shoes at the clinic. you also have to have socks high enough to cover your legs when you're sitting in the clinics.

They sell crocs without holes and with no slip soles.

No matter what the situation is, it's never ok to wear crocs...

I'm guessing you have never worked in the restaurant industry.
 
I'm on that Asics running yo
 
Crap lol. Wrong thread.. I had 2 pages open and posted in the wrong one.
 
I like my customized wooden moccasins, they make wood knocking noise everytime I walk, I like when people know I'm coming 🙂

These things are ****ing hideous.

oh ya! they're fugly but your scrub pants cover them so they look like loafers. all the physicians and nurses are rocking these ugly ducklings. i don't see a lot of dental students wearing them because we're sitting all the time but all the omfs residents who have to stand for hours in the operating room are wearing them.

Yea, I'll be sacrificing fashion for comfort for 4 years without a moments hesitation!

Oh c'mon, just get a cute* pair!

I mean look. These are not only Carolina blue, but they are also lacy. What more could you want?! These totes fit your style.

MEGA SHOE PIC!!!

I know you'll be promptly running to your nearest Nordstrom.

*"Cute" being a relative term here.

*I'm admittedly thinking about getting these if they won't clash with my scrubs... My inner fashionista weeps, but it's better than some of the other options... You can't exactly wear the black ones with light blue scrubs...

I have no doubt I could pull this off. Wisdom is knowing both when to and when not to do something. 😉

that's what I have been thinking this whole time, but I thought no one else thought they were hideous! lol

Yep. I guess if you're a resident at the end of your 80hr week, all you care about is your feet not hurting.

Look guise... Just bought dese. (And 2 other pairs. But these are the most funkalicious.)

Aaaalllsooo... I take away my prior suggestion to @Illfavor . You gotta get the patent leather ones that you can wipe gunk off of. Can't do that with suede and whatnot. 😀
 
I wear plain white New Balance running shoes. They'll match with anything.
 
Did NOVA give out a pair of LeBron's 11 this year to their students?

But couldn't white shoes (especially if they're cloth) get really gross with clinic nasties?

We have to wear Carolina blue scrubs for all four years... Maybe you have to wear one color all four years, too! Id want to get something that you can wipe off and won't show stains. 🙂

I wear them to assist now and to be honest they don't look bad. Still white, maybe some visible scuff marks here and there due to me bumping into things, etc. Maybe I'll take a picture when I get home 🙂

My class color is Caribbean Blue! What a strange coincidence that your color is Carolina Blue 😉...

We are Ciel Blue! With the allowance of Hawkeye scrubs. We were told to buy primarily white, black, or grey shoes, maybe I'll ditch the tennis shoes for some Dansko's once I see how my feet hold up

Ciel blue here as well. But I'll just call it Carolina Blue. 😉
 
does everyone have ciel blue? I ordered my scubs the other day and they are ciel blue as well.
 
Whatever you do make sure you scotch guard them before they get dirty. Will keep them looking like new for years!

Navy blue scrub and dress code requires our shoes to be mostly white. White running shoes it is.
