While my other classmates were scrambling to find an inexpensive shoe that met the criteria of being leather and slip resistant, I quietly purchased these on Amazon. Mehha. These are very comfortable and easy to clean (chlorox wipes). A little squueky but the noise was gone by my 3rd clinical. I recommend not wearing socks with these. Compression stockings are best. I tried Nursemates, Cherokee, and Dansko and they weren't all the rage. I highly recommend these for the average broke nursing student.
