What sneakers do you wear in the ED?

[Perfect Hair Day]

Aloha, just curious. I'm a fan of high-top basketball shoes and Chuck Taylors if I'm going to be on my feet for a long period of time. Thought this would be a fun thread.

Too loud for the ED?

I dont think so but then again my work sneaker choices tend to be unique

Less of the roach killer toe. I prefer a lower roper heel as well. Otherwise, I approve of this mesage.

 

[GeneralVeers]

Crocs

+1 for the Hoka Bondi.

Super lightweight.

Are they really as great as they seem? I'm intrigued, but put off by the sole (mostly because I find weird soles to be kind of unstable). Their US headquarters is 4 blocks from my office and right next door to my favorite brewpub, so I see them "often" (OK, fine...nearly every day). I might just go for it on a pair, although I love my Brooks Ghost's and will probably never buy another pair of Nike or Adidas shoes.

rotate between under armor and dansko clogs.

The only drawback that I have encountered thus far is that they do not stand up to moisture at all. I learned this the hard way taking my doggo out before a six a.m. shift. The Florida dew made them unwearable for 2 days.

The Brooks' are the same. But I've got plenty of waterproof shoes already since I live in the PNW.

I wear Merrell Jungle Mocs. Thoracotomy-friendly. Comfortable. Ugly.

In the Spring and Summer, I always wear skecher relaxed fit slip on shoes. Super lightweight and unbelievably comfortable. This is what I wear now:

During football season, I go with these nike free runs:

[TheComebacKid]

I wear Salomon's. True, they are trail running shoes probably not ideal for the ED, but they support my arches and they also have these kevlar drawstring shoelaces they stay tucked in nicely and don't get covered in bodily fluids or get caught in stuff that makes me end up tripping

The idea of wearing clogs or anything other than sneakers in the ED horrifies me.

 

[dchristismi]

I run in Saucony, but spend my ED time in Merrill Mocs. Yes ugly, but utilitarian and vomit proof. (I don't do thoracotomies, but have been known to make a hell of a mess with a thoracostomy.)

 

[EM4life]

Allbirds Women's Wool Runners so comfortable and machine washable!

 

[bearstanley]

merrells brah

 

[DocEspana]

Black Pumas for my black scrubs

When I was on training I was afraid of getting nice shoes dirty so I rocked Crocs that I would chuck in the trunk of my car at the end of the day.

Crocs

I knew we agreed on something.

Haha I was a rookie CA 1, went to empty a Foley and forgot to lock it right. Had almost 100 mL of piss pool on my New Balances before I realized what was what. After that, I stuck with Crocs or bobos.

You’re too old and not cool enough to wear these.

NMDs look so stylish! They must be super comfortable too.

+1 on the Hoka's, love them

 

[whiplashWhoMD]

Allbirds, wool runners and tree bird loafers. All day feather-light comfort.

Crocs Bistro- Not winning any fashion awards, but the completely sealed plastic/ rubber shoe is easy in the ED. Covered in blood, vomit, urine, etc? Purple wipe it and done.

It was necrobumped by a spam account that was shilling some garbage shoe. That post got deleted and the account banned, but not before NYEMMED chimed in having seen the post rise to the new list.

Lol. Had me fooled.
I mean, good footwear can be a huge bonus on a shift.

Great, now I look like a NecroBumper hahaha

Merrell encore gust clogs. Look pretty good with anything, blood blends in, comfortable

ECCO shoes. They are expensive and worth not only every penny, but every nickel and dime too. Also I deduct them as a business expense because I use them exclusively for work.

Warning: Tangential.

I'll have to look at some of these.
A few years ago, I bought a pair of ECCO golf shoes.
They were fantastic. Solid brown. Classic look. The soft, Danish leather kissed my feet
I got so many years of wear out of them.
But, like all shoes - they had a limited lifespan, and the Florida sun/heat is not kind to golf shoes.
So, I went looking for a similar pair recently.
Forget it. The style of golf shoes has changed so radically.
I went to three different big-box golf stores trying to find something uniform and classic and was left saying: "Look, it's golf. It's not a game of pickup basketball. Stop it with these street-styled golf shoes."
