Comfy shoes

we wear crocs at work, but have ordered the work shoes which dont have any holes and think the heel is more covered, designed specifically with the h&s issues in mind

Personally I don't wear socks with mine but thats my personal preference

those who wear crocs, do you wear them minus socks and if you do with the mary jane tyoes, is there not also a health and safety issue because the feet arnt technically covered at the top? anyone else come across health and safety with crocs or other shoes not covering the top of the feet??

Main issue needle stick injury (according to my boss!)

Always wear crocs with socks at work. Bit of a fashion faux-par but wouldn't consider not to.

I wear the paw print toffeln clogs... bit more expensive than crocs etc but I LOVE them soooo comfy, can get them usually thru vet direct or your practice' wholesalers, or just anywhere online.

They look cool too, always get comments from clients

We've jsut been told we're not allowed to wear Crocs any more for work. H&S apparently - too many holes and no heel protection

Couldn't bear the thought of not having my comfy Crocs so have just ordered myself some Mary Jane Crocs which have no holes and cover the heel. They haven't turned up yet though so in me plimmies for today

I have a pair of crocs - but not the traditional hideous ones! Mine are called 'Olivia' I think - the most comfortable shoes ever! I'm on the lookout for some more socially acceptable crocs for out of work now... ;)

Try the crocs website, they have every type available and think there's a discount when you first register :)

I am really flat footed and end up with sore heels by lunchtime. Personally I love crocs.. I know they are ugly but they're so comfy! They are also very slippery so take care when walking on wet floors! Crocs now do some with better grip (mercy work), although I bought some and didn't like them - the origional crocs are the best.

I have custom moulded orthotics in my shoes for collapsed arches and I use Clarks Bootleg lace up kids school shoes, think they might have been boys ones last time i bought a pair, as they lace up it means they fit so much better than a slip on. They provide good support for the orthotic and are comfortable. They last a decent length of time too. Mine are very similar to these. I had real problems before going back to these, as shoes just didn't last any length of time at all before my feet would ache as they didn't have enough support.

Some NHS trusts have banned the use of crocs or qwirkis as they won't stop needle stick injuries through the feet - just in case you stand on a needle the sole is not hard enough

My physiotherapist wears trainers. I wear steel toe caps for work I bought them from Makro a few years back ,they are uber comfy and provide protection. I run my foot over with the x-rays machine last year and cracked my toe nail...the one and only day I decide not to wear my steelies... typical.

I've seen a physiotherapist for my knee from where i damaged a ligament. She said that i was also slightly flat footed and recommended me some insoles to buy, luckily my friends mum was a chropadist and she provided me with some for a little less ^^. The pair of shoes i brought to wear orginally didnt hurt my knee but it did start to feel week so i might have to go back to the doctor and talk to him. I wasnt very good at doing my physio =/

Next time your at Physio check out what the Physio has on his/her feet! I bet they are wearing trainers!

I alternate between Nurse Crocs and my trusty old Skechers Mary Janes, they're just so darn comfy and have lasted me almost 6 years so far (and very pretty!)

Crocs for me too. I only find them slippy when the treads start to wear, normally get about 18months out of them :)

I wear medical crocs... they're amazingly comfy and I don't have a problem with them. Just sometimes have to be careful when walking on wet surfaces but that's for most shoes anyway! They're also anti-static so I can wear them in theatre as well :)

Hey, im flat footed too and really its not about the type of shoes its about the insoles. i picked up a pair of ortho insoles for about £25 from my local footplace.shoe shop. thoses or shoes called MBTs but they are expensive. they were the most comfortable shoes ive ever owned though and my knees/back/ankles wer all fine.

Sports direct do a mbt copy that are amazing called therashoe- i have flat feet and dodgy knee ligaments and wear them all day with comfort! or fit flop do an enclosed shoe which is also good

I'm such a failure lol. Ordered some crocs, then realised id selected white accidentally and apparently you can't cancel or change your order. So now i have to wait for them to arrive to return them >.<

Ive got some crocs which arnt actually that ugly! I get a few compliments on them. They are styled to look like slingback "dolly" shoes, and are as comfy as normal crocs but i find these ones much easier to keep on. They are similar to this http://www.crocs.co.uk/crocs-alice-work/11050,en_GB,pd.html?cid=001&cgid=women-footwear-work

if you arnt a fan of crocs, I had these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LADIES-BLACK-NURSES-NURSING-WORK-SHOES-UK-3-8-/390297955426?pt=UK_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item99ac48d446 before my crocs and they were super comfy, cheap and are still going after a year.
