Nursing Shoes & Safety Shoes

Shoes with High Functionality

Whether it's a sneaker or a clog model, the most important thing at work is that the nursing shoe is highly functional and offers a high level of comfort for doctors and nurses. Thus, these shoes have to be comfortable and robust at the same time. One of the characteristics of a good work shoe for healthcare und nursing professionals is a sole with a non-slip tread. Especially in hospitals, liquids are often spilled, so it is important to ensure that the shoes have a suitable tread to prevent accidents at work. In addition, a closed heel is important in order not to slip out of the professional shoes.

There are several reasons why work shoes for nurses and other medical staff are closed at the front: On the one hand, a closed front offers more support, on the other hand, the foot is protected from external influences, for example if a sharp object falls to the ground. The material, such as leather or ethylene vinyl acetate, is usually breathable, hard-wearing and easy to clean, while the material of the non-slip soles is usually antistatic and has been manufactured according to ESD standards. Flat heels and cushioning in the heel area also ensure that work shoes are still comfortable to wear even on a long day.

Specialised Footwear for Different Medical Areas

For areas with very high hygiene standards, such as operating theatres or other hygiene-sensitive environments, we offer autoclavable shoes.

You can choose between the autoclavable OP clogs from ABEBA and the Oxypas OP shoes Oxyclog.

Safety shoes with a steel toe cap have long proven their worth in healthcare. They reliably protect the wearer from injuries, for example in case of beds or equipment rolling over the feet.

Modern Design

Most people are familiar with the typical white work shoe in the healthcare sector. Nowadays, however, you can choose between many different models of nurse shoes for women and men.

There are clogs, lace-up and slip-on shoes in various designs and colours. Besides white and black, there are now also bright colours like orange, turquoise or pink. Even models with patterns are available.

Whether leather or plastic, the variety of comfortable shoes allows you to make a statement and cheer up patients in the often grey everyday life of a practice or hospital.

Prevent Sweaty Shoes

It is recommended to rotate between two pairs of shoes. Shoes can take almost a full day to dry completely, so wearing them too soon creates a warm, moist environment that encourages the growth of bacteria. Shoes should only be washed if the manufacturer explicitly allows it. Maintaining a hygienic shoe environment also starts with choosing the right socks: they should absorb sweat and allow it to evaporate through the breathable material of the shoe.
