I definitely agree that these shoes are awesome!  I'm just starting my nursing courses right now at West Coast University, and they wanted us to be in uniform asap.  I bought these online and when I got them, eh.  I wasn't too impressed with the way they looked....mainly because I've been dreading the sight of nursing shoes forever.  They're clogs...so boring and frumpy.  Bleh, but when I'm in the hospital, I need something super generic looking without any grooves or mesh and easy to power walk in.  I totally understand that less is more in my profession.  So I'm sitting on the couch and facebooking how frumpy they look, until I first get up and actually stand in them.  *Ahhhhhh*  It's like walking on clouds, and as much as I despised looking at them, I can definitely state that these are the best FEELING shoes I've ever owned.  I've used them for clinicals so far, and my feet aren't the least bit sore.  It doesn't chaff my heals, there's plenty of toe wiggle room, and they're ultra light.  Love them!!
