Koi Nursing Shoes

Nurses just like soldiers fight to keep us alive, they endure the long-standing hours, their off days are usually when everyone else is at work, at times they are called to duty at odd hours of the night, to which they respond promptly. Some take extra shifts because a patient, especially kids, don’t want somebody else, and at times they have to treat patients suffering from contagious diseases, which also puts their lives at risk.

And with all the above duties, they have their feet to depend on, to carry them around without giving in to the pressure caused by the long-standing and walking hours. Let’s face it nurses rarely sit down, and even if they do, it might be during their tea/lunch break or in the evening at home, where they are also expected to take care of a few duties.

To this end, it is safe to say that the legs take the most pressure, and if coupled with some less effective shoe, then they would be predisposed to various ailments that normally result from improper footwear. And that is why we present you with the Koi Nursing shoes. Nurses are always on the go and don’t have time for a laced shoe that would take a lot of time to lace up.

Koi nursing shoe comes in many different designs and colors, some of which will match with your scrubs, while others do portray a professional outlook, but most of which are easy to slip on the feet, clean and comfortable on the footbed. Let us take a look at some of them.

Traction – anytime that you choose your nursing shoes, always check on the outer sole, because if they don’t have grooves, then you will most probably slip when you wear them on the slippery or wet floor. Also, ensure that the top part is not only durable but can flex with your feet to facilitate ease of movement and are water-resistant.
