Choosing the right shoes for going to work is often a headache for most medical professionals.
Budget, comfort, mandatory features, prohibited colors ...
We often resign ourselves to taking the models of medical shoes that are available and this is not always a reasoned choice.
To assist you in your choice, we invite you to follow these tips:
Tip # 1
Focus on comfort
When you are on your feet all day and have to go around the hospital a lot, the shoes must be comfortable and thus minimize the pain in the feet and back. Avoid heels of more than 4 cm to alleviate back pain due to prolonged standing.
Tip # 2
Easy to maintain
Health professionals often have to strain themselves during their various activities within the hospital. Betadine and other liquids are common. This is why we recommend choosing shoes that are easy to clean and that are machine-friendly.
Microfiber is an ideal material for medical shoes, resistant and easy to maintain, discover the Nord'Ways models made in this material.
Tip # 3
Open or closed shoe, carefully analyze your needs
Depending on your activity within the medical establishment to which you are attached, your need for foot protection is different.
It is therefore important to know if you need completely closed shoes like sneakers, if a clog may be ideal and if micro-perforations for ventilation may or not be possible.
The ideal shoe model for the medical profession must meet these conditions:
Lightweight, ventilated, comfortable, easy to maintain, good foot support.
Ultra light crocs type clog, Super comfortable sneaker, Traditional wooden sole clog… Many models are available on the Nord'Ways website, take your pick!
