Why Doctors Wear Crocs
If you have ever been to a medical office or hospital, you know that the doctors and nurses stand on their feet for at least eight hours a day. While tennis shoes help cushion the walk, they can still tire the feet. Because of this, it wasn’t too long before someone invented a shoe that still helped cushion the walk and make the feet less tired. Enter Crocs.
Crocs were invented by a man named Scott Seamans, the Croc has come a long way since 2002. The shoes come in a variety of colors and patterns and are sure to fit in with whatever colored scrubs or clothes that you may be wearing that day. Crocs also go by the name of clogs, doctors’ shoes, nurses’ shoes, or medical shoes. Whatever name you may call them, one thing is for certain. Crocs are comfortable and give you a trendy look that will be sure to catch attention from everyone.
Crocs are available with holes and without holes to help aide with ventilation and dry feet. However some hospitals and medical offices have guidelines about what type of shoe is permitted. OSHA also states that medical personnel have to a closed toe shoe. So before you spend the money on Crocs, check with your office’s regulations first.
One of the most amazing traits of every pair of Crocs is the shoe’s ability to mold to your foot after regular use. The more you wear your Crocs, the more comfortable they get as they form themselves to perfectly fit you. For doctors and nurses and anyone else that stands on their feet for 12 hours a day, this is a huge benefit of Crocs. You can never underestimate the relief of a comfortable pair of shoes.
Crocs are ideal for medical personnel who are pregnant with swollen, achy feet, personnel with diabetes, or bunions. The crocs have an inner support and have small nubs on the underlying part of the shoe that will massage your foot as you walk. These also provide good arch support.
With all the extra added comfort, it’s no wonder Crocs are becoming a staple at most hospitals.
