Best Shoes For Nurses Australia

Jul 07, 2021

The 'Best Shoes For Nurses' is a hot topic so we thought we'd delve into what we've found whilst developing our range of healthcare approved shoes for frontline workers!

There's no 'best' shoe. This may surprise you but the reality is that it's a 'best fit' based on the type of activity you do (walking vs standing) and your work environment (think surface type and slip hazards).

From high demand walking activity to more stationary type shifts, you first need to consider the surfaces and liquids you may come into contact with and how much support or cushioning you need.

Nursing shoes are designed on a sliding scale in terms of cushioning and support feature combinations. One end has more cushioning and the other is higher in support.

Stratus

Our best selling black leather work shoe for its high-traction slip resistance (SRC rated) and casual sneaker look, the STRATUS BLACK hits new heights in comfortable nursing shoes.

Designed as a walking shoe, this style was made for long shifts and high step counts. Cushioning isn't compromised by the multiple support features and will help reduce overall foot fatigue.

Avara

Avara comes in different widths to accommodate those with a wider base. Its SRA rated non-slip outsole is also abrasion-resistant and durable being a long-wear duty shoe.

Water won't stand a chance against the full-grain leather upper and additional stabilising features including arch support, mid-foot and heel support to prevent over-pronating.

Contour

Slip in and out of the CONTOUR as it contours to the shape of your foot whilst wicking away moisture and odour with the DRILEX lining. Also non-slip to the highest rating (SRC Diamond Grip), the water-resistant CONTOUR cushions every step whilst providing ample support.

Available as a IIFit (two-fit) style for mismatched feet and comes with a customisable dual-innersole system.

Geelong Urban

One for our male nurses! Geelong Urban can take on slippery tiles (SRA rated) thanks to its specifically designed outsole and features great overall support for healthcare workers who walk a lot during their shift.

The GEELONG URBAN still rocks in the cushioning department for shock absorption to lessen the impact on your joints and muscles, easily accommodates orthotics if needed and comes in both standard and wide width options.

Voyager

Like its name suggests, the VOYAGER can take you places or in your case, keep you comfortable all shift long! SRA rated and a water-resistant leather upper, this style has a unique combination of cushioning and support jam-packed into a slimline design.

Another work shoe for nurses that need different size shoes between left and right, and slightly wider than the standard width.

Eternity 2

Mostly standing during your shift? Then the ETERNITY 2 is for you! With its stylish mary-jane look and slim band to keep it secured, this nursing work shoe will keep your feet feeling refreshed.

The ETERNITY 2 joins the Diamond Grip range in exceptional slip-resistance and sports our antibacterial DRILEX lining that helps control foot odour.

Kumo

A slip-on strapless option for when you're doing desk work, the KUMO effortlessly combines style and function as well as keeps you sure-footed.

Featuring an SRC non-slip outsole and customisable dual innersole system to suit different widths, this style is a chameleon in adapting to any situation that arises.
