Nurse Shoes FAQs

What are the most important features to look for in shoes for nurses?

Nurses spend long hours on their feet, so comfort and support are paramount. Look for shoes with excellent arch support, cushioning, slip-resistant soles, and a good fit. Durability is also key.

I'm on my feet for 12+ hours a shift. What kind of shoes are best for that?

For long shifts, prioritize shoes designed for all-day comfort. Look for features like a raised heel, and breathable materials. Consider shoes specifically designed for nurses or medical professionals.

I have plantar fasciitis. What shoes are recommended for nurses with this condition?

If you're suffering from plantar fasciitis, the Toffeln SmartSole range offers targeted relief. Our unique design features a cupped insole, contoured footbed, and customizable arch support that actively prevents your feet from flattening and limits pronation – key factors in managing this painful condition. This range provides extra support around the mid-foot to minimize heel impact and evenly distribute your weight. This holistic approach helps ease the pain of plantar fasciitis and allows you to stay active.

I get blisters easily. Any tips for preventing them with my work shoes?

Proper fit is key. Make sure your shoes aren't too tight or too loose.

What are the benefits of compression socks for nurses, and should I wear them with my shoes?

Compression socks can improve circulation and reduce leg fatigue. They can be beneficial for nurses, especially during long shifts.

What kind of soles are best for nurses' shoes?

Slip-resistant soles are a must to prevent falls, especially in environments where spills are common. Look for soles with good traction.

Can I wear running shoes as a nurse?

While some running shoes might be comfortable, they may not offer the necessary support and slip resistance required in a medical setting. It's best to choose shoes specifically designed for nurses or medical professionals.

What shoes can nurses wear in the NHS?

Nurses in the NHS must wear soft-soled, closed-toe shoes to protect against spills and dropped objects, as outlined in the NHS Uniforms and Workwear Guidance (April 2020). Footwear should be comfortable, supportive, and easy to clean to maintain hygiene and prevent fatigue during long shifts. While non-slip soles and minimal contamination risk are important, local policies may vary, so nurses should follow their trust’s specific guidelines.
