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.
Crocs are actually made to fit around your foot the longer you wear the shoe and are made with this in mind. Doctors and nurses like this shoe for that simple fact. They can walk and stand for twelve hours straight and still have comfortable feet by the time the day is over and done with.
Each pair of Crocs comes standard with small nubs on the underlying part of the shoe. These nubs massage the bottom of your foot as you walk, and also add extra arch support. For someone that spends most of their day on their feet, there’s nothing like a constant massage for the part of your body that hurts the most when you get home. These small nubs provide a great amount of relief for pregnant women with swollen, achey feet, and also anyone else with diabetes or bunions.
It’s no surprise that Crocs are becoming more and more popular at hospitals. Once you put on a pair of Crocs, you will never want to take them off.
