If there’s one profession that needs comfortable shoes, it’s nurses! Twelve-hour shifts on one’s feet can be painful without supportive footwear, so the best shoes for nurses have the following traits:

• Cushioned, to ease soreness after long hours of walking.
• Stable and Supportive, to protect feet and ankles from injury.
• Well-Tractioned, to prevent slipping on slick surfaces.
• Breathable, to mitigate sweaty, smelly feet.
• Waterproof and/or Stain-Resistant, to make cleaning easy amongst…occupational hazards.

With this in mind, most nurses have gravitated towards two types of footwear: sneakers/athletic shoes and clogs. You can’t go wrong with either, so after that, it just comes down to personal taste!

Dozens of styles that fit the bill are available at Stan’s Shoes, so to help narrow your choices, we’ve listed our top five picks below.
