    Just wanted to know what the current sm's are wearing on the wards and what they are finding the most comfortable.

    I have little fat feet with high arches so can't wear complete flatties but do want to get shoes that are comfortable and affordable.

    I know we all have our favourites but please share and then we can make up our own minds about what we want to get.

    Apparently we can't wear crocs at my trust, although a lot of staff seem to wear them on the wards. :confused:

    I love my crocs too, they are soo comfortable.

    The shoes I wear at the moment are a pair of Clarks, they aren't quite flat but are very somfortable. Expensive though so won't be buying another pair!!!!

    They are supposed to be banned, but like I say some staff wear them on the wards, make of that what you will.

    I know we can still wear them in theatres for now, and on wards (basically everywhere lol) but I probably won't be there much longer anyway-infact I've already finished uni and work, and alas there are neigh jobs............
