I had a job that served both ice cream and hot foods. All of my kid coworkers complained that they weren't allowed to wear crocs, but I reminded them that the holes would mean hot chili or melting ice cream or even just soapy dishwater would instantly be inside of their shoes. I get that they're comfy, but the ones with holes have a time and place!
As a student nurse we were told by our clinical instructors why wearing a full cover white shoes was important when going to duty/shifts and its because of spill accidents or any accidents that may fall to our feet.

Some things in nursing school though we're unnecessarily strict ( ex no tattoos,piercings, colored hair) and you'll see plenty of nurses with that. But rn def am looking at better shoes Emma 😭😭😭
I work at a bakery, and usually I have to do some heavy lifting and could possibly drop some big things on my feet. So i got some steel toe, non slip boots. I absolutely love them and wear them year round! :D
The thing is they make professional crocs that don’t have the holes. The advance of crocs is they can be easily washed and don’t absorb much so if you end up with mystery fluids it’s much easier to deal with than fabric shoes
An OR nurse I know accidently stepped on a sharp and it went right thru her Crocks into her foot--obviously a lot of mistakes cumulated into that, but it's something to keep in mind depending on what type of work you do. (I don't remember what type of crock she was wearing)
I worked with a male nurse who always wore crocks. We worked in the trauma ICU. We had a guy who had been shot. He was bleeding from everywhere. The blood was coming out faster than it was going in. The blood was dripping off the bed. The nurses' feet were soaked in blood.
wearing supportive shoes is a long game, you do it for FUTURE you. sure you CAN wear crocks every day for 12hour shifts NOW, but hospital work already guarantees cumulative wear and tear on your body, adding to it by wearing crappy footwear is pretty wild.
I never bought crocks. The soles seemed too squishy for me. I needed more sturdy soles. I settled on Calzuro clogs. Loved them! Retired now 3 years. Happy Nurses week everyone!
You should look into Oofos my mom started wearing them (she's a hairdresser so also on her feet for long hours) so she got me a pair for my birthday last year and they are so cushy and comfortable and they aren't slick in wet 🤮 💩💦situations. A long with the pattern she got me(multicolored splotches on a black background) matches all my different colored scrubs and adds a little personal flair to my solid scrubs as an outfit. They also wipe clean pretty easily. I haven't scrubbed them with a cavi wipe or alcohol pad (I'm afraid it might take the design off, made the mistake of hitting my patterned crock's with bug spray and ruined them) but I wash them in antibacterial hand soap on my day off while I work my rotation I just leave them at work. Plus if you need to rinse them off while working the don't have a material insole so you can just wash them in the sink, wipe em dry and you're good as new.
I got a glass shard a small piece of it stuck in my foot and it was a pain in the ass to get out I don't work in the medical field or anything but I got parents that aren't the best at sweeping
I don’t really understand why people in the healthcare field don’t follow the same dress code as labs. We always have to wear closed toe shoes because a spill can be dangerous and closed toe reduces the amount of contamination. Imagine someone with hiv gets blood all over your shoes. If you have closed toe shoes it shouldn’t do much but with crocs it’s going to get all your socks and possibly your skin. You don’t f around with blood, any open wound could lead to you getting a disease.
Hokas!!! I’ve tried EVERYTHING Cloves (my least favorite), Sketchers, Adidas, puma, Nike, new balance (a close second). But Hoka are by far the most supportive, well made, and comfortable shoe I have tried for my 12hr shifts.
My biggest issue with crocs when I was in vet practice was corns and I didn’t actually find them that comfortable after 5 hours, sketchers are my go to
I wear Brooks Beasts, now that I’m old. I used to wear crocs, until I worked in a hospital where I’d have to run at full speed to ER in obstetric emergencies from birthing suite. Tripped a couple of time. I still wear crocs as theatre shoes though ( they stay there!)😊
Crocs are also the first to “grip and trip” if you drag your feet/toes at all. I cannot tell you how many wrist or hip fracture patients I walk into and I look over at the pile of clothes they came in right on top are the crocs.
I've almost beefed it a couple times when I was wearing my bike rocks would not recommend wearing them if you're going hiking or something like that as they will rub on your feet if you do not have socks on go with normal running shoes for sandals if you're going to go for a jog if you're working in the medical field go for something that's encloses your toes and that cannot slide off the floor
The real problem is when it rolls around your foot like a soft rubber tube when trying to get traction on the ground and you and your patient fall during a transfer.
@@FS-qk5uq Pretty sure my size was right, some patient transfers and other activities just have an extreme amount of weight and sideways shearing force that makes the foot roll inside the shoe, I felt like my inner leg muscles were tearing in addition to the fall risk.
I personally prefer Saucony’s running shoes! I work in the food industry and I’m on my feet all day long hustling between the kitchen and tables and register all of the time, and Saucony’s running shoes not only provide ankle support, but they also are very comfortable and have a wider set toe! So your feet can naturally rest the way they are supposed to! And with them resting naturally you also have less foot pain, back pain, knee pain, and ankle pain!
When i was a housekeeper i was told to treat my feet like gold. I wore shoes that gave my toes room with inserts in them to release pressure. I couldn't wear Crocs because i want my support
5+ years on the floor and combat boots are my go-to. 12 to 16 hours on my feet, the ankle support is a lifesaver. And they're a lot more comfortable than anything else I've tried.
Odd rules. I’m a veterinary nurse, and it’s completely normal to change your socks & scrubs multiple times. 😅🤷🏻♀️ Many prefer crocks as they’re easy to sanitise compared to trainers. Wear whatever works best for your feet & back the entire shift!
Maybe one of the reasons is because I'm pretty sure there are less diseases that can be spread to humans through the veterinarianp People in the veterinarian field do not have to worry so much about human viruses such as STDs and dysentery
I'm a cna. We don't keep track of the socks or anything that isn't medication realky. I give everyone in the patients' room new socks if they are staying over with the patient. I change the patients' socks pretty much every time they get cleaned up. There isn't even a place to chart it. If it's on your bill. It's because they put it on everyone's bill.
Honestly the classic high top black converse are the way to go💪I have tons of other shoes but black converse are just so comfy like I even wear them to dance practice😭
Dr. Scholl shoes are the best work shoe I ever had!! I used to be a housekeeper on my feet 8-12hrs straight!! this shoes helped so much! Now I’m armed security and I mostly sit at a desk so I don’t need them but if you stand for long periods of time these are the best!! ❤
Coming from a child of a nurse and a doctor do not wear expensive shoes nike,jordans,etc also make sure you have shoes that are comfortable my parents come home complaining about their feet it still wont take most of the pain away but at least its not as bad,make sure you have socks on,also i recommend to have a pair of shoes in ur car❤️
Personally, I think crocs are unprofessional. To begin with it looks sloppy. Do you want a sloppy looking nurse if you are a patient? Will that give you the confidence in your team you need to help you mend faster? What if there is an emergency and you have to run? What if equipment or chemicals drop? I'm actually amazed any hospital would allow that. In our hospital you are required to wear a white nursing shoe. Most wear SAS.
My vet assisting school ordered us crocs without holes in the top for medical folks! They still have venting, just on the sides! I loooove these things
i bought trainers with super soft cushions because i kept getting aching feet and theyre waterproof, easy to run in at emergencies and makes it feel like walking on clouds :)
HOKAS. They are great for standing for long periods of time and keep my feet from hurting. I used to wear some dr schols (sp) nurse clogs but they stopped making them. HOKAS for the win now.
The on clouds are incredible for standing and walking on hard floors. As a flat footed person I definitely noticed a difference between them and any of my old walking shoes. Someone who also has them told me they tried Hoka and they sucked. Also, every time someone who has on clouds sees I have on clouds gets super excited and points out we both have them. An employee in Walmart saw I have them when I asked for help and he was like “WHOA We’re twins!” And I was like “what?” And he pointed out our shoes matched. That’s my favorite one but that happens quite often. I would imagine the waterproof ones would be worth it for you being on your feet all day.
Hairdresser here - I just got a pair of ortholite Reebok's and I'm looooving them so far! Dr.scholls was great too but I broke those down to fast unfortunately
I wear full leather new balance shoes. Easy to clean and if spills does not go through to the socks. In addition to protection because it is not mesh or have holes.
I love my clogs. I’ve seen people wear crocs working on my old unit (I was a tech working on the burn unit) and with the amount of bodily fluids we had to work with, I could *never.*
I'm a linecook and i wear nonslip birkenstocks. I weak wool socks all year round for this exact reason. If i spill any liquid it doesn't soak through the wool. If i spill boiling hot grease my foot won't get burned. They're leather so they're easy to clean. And my feet don't get hot nor do they stink!
I wear Sketchers work sneakers. The laces are elastic so I can just slip them on and don't need to bother tying laces, but they cover my whole foot and are super comfy to wear for hours on my feet. Also they have a fabric look to them but they're completely waterproof
My mom is a nurse and she wears crocs but with no holes in them! I don’t know if it’s the same brand as Crocs still, but they’re literally the same thing, just designed for nurses or other people who work with sharp objects and don’t want them lodged in their feet.
They have crocs with no holes now! I sometimes use it in labs when my feet needs comfort and its going to be a long day
Enjoy the lab with those darling
You are messing around with more than baby formula.
If I couldn't find hole-less crocs, I'd just fill every hole with croc charms (and the occasional tiny ball of wadded-up tape)
And nonslip
@@flickeringtorchthey are the bistro crocs and they are also non slip
I was just about to say same thing
When I was in college we wore crocs in the kitchen. But they had to be the ones without holes. We spilled hot things all the time, it was a hazard.
I had a job that served both ice cream and hot foods. All of my kid coworkers complained that they weren't allowed to wear crocs, but I reminded them that the holes would mean hot chili or melting ice cream or even just soapy dishwater would instantly be inside of their shoes. I get that they're comfy, but the ones with holes have a time and place!
Crocs are like wearing flip flops to work. Not really hospital couture. More like beach couture
As a student nurse we were told by our clinical instructors why wearing a full cover white shoes was important when going to duty/shifts and its because of spill accidents or any accidents that may fall to our feet.
Yesss as nursing students even nail polish wasn’t allowed. But you’ll see a lot of nurses wear it (in the US)

As a nursing student in Australia, we get told we have to wear black closed shoes
I work at a bakery, and usually I have to do some heavy lifting and could possibly drop some big things on my feet. So i got some steel toe, non slip boots. I absolutely love them and wear them year round! :D
They’re washable and I keep extra socks in my work bag.
I wear regular shoes to work. I couldn't imagine the Crocs as a nurse. You could get piss, shit, puke or blood soaking into your socks.
They make crocs without holes,too
This! Before she said formula i pictured a bloody cath bag 🤮
Or worse, a needle
What are regular shoes? I wear clogs or tennis shoes.
@@angleblu7327tennis shoes/athletic shoes
Thank you ma'am for being a nurse and working hard. I know a nurse and she gets worked hard. A lot of hours. Please be safe
The thing is they make professional crocs that don’t have the holes. The advance of crocs is they can be easily washed and don’t absorb much so if you end up with mystery fluids it’s much easier to deal with than fabric shoes
Sounds bad if your feet get sweaty
@@missbeaussieluckily socks exist
I wear Crocs everyday they wear out fast though

I'm sure they would be soaked even if they were wearing sneakers, in the same scenario....breathable mesh.
@@NotSoHeartBrokenexcept they're not meant to be breathable....
That’s why at least for us were recommended to wear leather shoes so it won’t soak
there are work crocs too. No holes on the front.
I mean, when people bleed in the ICU they’re gonna fucking bleed. I was admin and I still copped bodily fluids from time to time. 😭

Your mental illness is so cute
My health science teacher literally taught us that we are to wear close toed shoes so we dont get shit like body fluids on our feet dawg
She’s lucky is she was only formula, too many bodily fluids. I was taught the same thing.
I got a glass shard a small piece of it stuck in my foot and it was a pain in the ass to get out

Props to the nurses that risk the germy germs getting onto them to make sure we’re all feeling better ❤😂
Get the crocs that have no holes in them!!! You can wear them to work with all the same comfort and if something spills it doesn’t get in your shoe!!❤
there's a work crocs line that won't have the holes as well... I use it it only has 2 tiny holes on the side for ventilation.
Hokas!!! I’ve tried EVERYTHING Cloves (my least favorite), Sketchers, Adidas, puma, Nike, new balance (a close second). But Hoka are by far the most supportive, well made, and comfortable shoe I have tried for my 12hr shifts.

Crocs sells nursing shoes! You can also use them as kitchen shoes!
Crocs are also the first to “grip and trip” if you drag your feet/toes at all. I cannot tell you how many wrist or hip fracture patients I walk into and I look over at the pile of clothes they came in right on top are the crocs.
yes i trip kinda frequently in them especially when im tried wearing and getting a pair actually made me notice i drag my feet when i walk sometimes!!

There are 8 billion people in the world. A few of those patients doesn’t compare to the ones they actually help out
You can spill something to your feet and also if it's any kind of emergy and you need to run crocs can slip off.
I'm a brooks girlie myself. We all have preferences, but closed is a must.
Yeeees!
Yes. Brooks Addiction leather walkers. Best shoes for nursing.
Crocs Neria Pro 2. They are clog like in design but are comfy like regular Crocs. Toes covered, closed heel...wipe them down with a Cavi-wipe.
Thanks for your work as a nurse! If I was a nurse, I'd wear hip waiters - no body fluid splash zone. 😄
They have crocs for work. No holes, slightly more comfy, non slip, no holes
Just get crocs for work. No holes, and they have extra grippy rubber on the soles.
I was in the hospital last weekend and I saw a couple of nurses wearing crocs.
The real problem is when it rolls around your foot like a soft rubber tube when trying to get traction on the ground and you and your patient fall during a transfer.
Crocs are not appropriate or safe work wear! Maybe for a desk job but then you look like you're wearing slippers which is lame.
I love how comfortable they are, but always trip or have them roll and I fall

Nah man, they need to be banned. I know doctors, vets, that kick you out of surgery for wearing crocs with holes.
It’s not odd at all, it’s to protect us from biohazards that could transmit something really horrible.
Maybe one of the reasons is because I'm pretty sure there are less diseases that can be spread to humans through the veterinarianp
