I use horse riding jodhpur boots. Leather so easy to clean, comfortable, and look good too :)

I'm a Crocs gal and i don't have any issues with them, but do a load of roller skating outside of work (or used to anyway, RIP contact sports) so my lower limb joints are pretty rock solid for now I do really appreciate how easily they can be thrown in a bucket of disinfectant.

I wore crocs for years - had a problem with one of my hips and just found them comfortable to wear. Fast forward 3yrs, the problem with my hip (which needs replacement) is now a lot worse , in addition I now had a bursa which is either drained or injected with hydrocortisone periodically and I can hardly walk. Had a bursectomy and a tendon fenestration done privately while I wait on hip replacement on NHS - surgeons comment ' do us both a favour and lose the crocs'

I've had surgery on my knee years ago and it still causes me problems. I wear Skechers go walk - great support and lightweight. I've got crocs for when I'm in isolation though as easier to clean

I used to wear crocs as liked the fact you could take them off and rinse them easily, but I suffered really badly with painful ankles and feet after being stood up for long periods. I know wear sketchers, have had the black go walk trainers but currently wear they're own version of crocs - sketchers clogs - they are soooo comfy my feet don't ache by the end of a busy day!!

Nearly all the nurses I work with wear trainers. Find a pair with good support and are light. Skechers are good, I've worn them for years. I've recently switched to Reebok/Nike trainers (in all black of course), just because they are lighter than skechers and my knees cope a bit better!

Most of our staff wear Sketchers. I had problems with my feet that lasted for weeks after I was furloughed, and I realised it was the Crocs causing it. I wear Sketchers at work now, and I haven't had any issues since. They're comfortable and offer good support.

Yes Black trainers. Hate crocks. No ankle support what so ever. Couldn’t wear those boots

What type? I wouldn't be ok with staff in 'trainers'.

Not a formal policy but all vets and nurses wear pull on leather boots

Comfortable and easy to pull on and off to change.

Have seen a lot of nurses in Crocks.

I have sketchers. Great memory foam sole and good ankle support. Wouldn’t wear anything else
