Nurses...where to buy those black clog shoes?

Where do you buy them locally?

Any recs to get them somewhere cheaper?

Do they last a long time? Durable? Comfortable?

I'm not an RN but work in a Hospital and they look like they'd be really comfortable. I've seen people wear them here with their business casual clothes which is why I'm interested in them.

Re: Nurses...where to buy those black clog shoes?

  • Schueller shoes has the Dansko brand.

    Everyone I work with wears them and swears by them.

  • My sister has some dansko clogs (she's a Dr.) and LOVES them.  The ones she has are dressy enough to wear with her "work" clothes but comfy enough to wear with scrubs too.  I have a similar style shoe from Born that I got at DSW.
  • I always worn Danskos too. The Walking Company at Rosedale has them. 

     

    And I'm drooling over a couple of pairs right now.

  • I work with a couple nurses that swear by them, but I can't get over not wearing normal running shoes.

    You can typically buy them at any scrubs store.  

  • Schuler's is where I used to buy mine. I loved them for a long time, but I found that with high arches, they don't work well long term, and you can't fit most orthotics in them.

     Now I wear MBT's (you can google them) and I LOVE them. Basically what the Skechers shape ups are based on, but the real thing. I wear them for a 12 hr shift with plantar fascitis and heel spurs and my feet usually don't even hurt after work.

  • I just saw them at a scrubs store in Burnsville Mall. I don't know prices or anything but they had tons of different kinds/colors/etc.

  • you can sometimes find them at Nordstrom's Rack.  Otherwise, I just got a pair 2 weeks ago at Schulers.  They are knowlegable about the different styles of Dankso/Sanitas.  They all are supposed to fit your foot slightly differently (ie- snug in one area vs. another area)

  • PS - I'm sure they'll tell you when you buy them....but you do need to gradually break them in.  They are a very hard sole and a few styles have a decent arch support, neither of which you are probably used to, so start off with just an hour or 2 a day.

  • The doctor I work with and a co-worker wear them and love them.  They got them at Schuler. 

    I just can't get over how my coworker can't pick up her feet when she walks in them.  She sounds like a horse walking in them.  When she wears her normal shoes I can't hear her coming.

  • I bought mine at REI.  It took me a little bit to get use to the them.

  • Everyone I work with absolutely loves Dansko's but I'm still a sucker for Crocs. They're cheap, comfortable, light, and they wipe clean after you come in contact with... anything icky.
