The clothes that doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals wear to work have changed a lot in recent years. Doctors no long wear dress clothes, ties, or even lab coats. And nurses have abandoned the classic starched white dresses and caps for easy-to-wear scrubs. But what about the shoes?
Doctors used to wear dress shoes, and nurses used to be tied to ugly, wide white shoes with big laces. Not so now! The choice in shoes is pretty much wide open. But with hours on your feet, some shoes work better than others. So what are the best shoes to wear with scrubs when a shift (or two) lies ahead of you?

Another plus? The slip-on, slip-off style makes them easy to work with when a change of scrubs is needed.

Make sure the loafers you choose offer the cushioning and support you need for long days on your feet, with non-slip soles to keep you safe even if the floor gets wet.
4. Walking shoes

The only drawback to using walking shoes may be the color if your employer requires white shoes. Standard walking shoes may not come with an all-white option.
3. Ballet flats

If you’re buying your flats from a regular shoe store, make sure the shoes provide enough space to wear socks or hose comfortably. Almost all medical facilities require full coverage on the foot, and these shoes might fall short.
2. Steel-toed shoes

Because these shoes tend to be more rigid than many other kinds of uniform shoes, do try them on and make sure they’ll be comfortable for an entire shift, and in different temperatures.
