One of the MOST COMFORTABLE shoes.
I give these a 10 out of 5. Yeah, they're that good. I currently work as a nurse on a busy med-surg ortho floor and i have to say the nurse to pt ratio in balt***** sucks. When i worked med-surg oncology in PA i had 4 patients on night shift, and here i have 5-6 on dayshift. Oh, that means i can start with 6 patients, D/c 3 home and still get 3 new admissions so i end up with 6. And no, don't picture some old lady, cuz i'm very young, just fresh out of college so it's not like i've doing this for forever and getting tired of walking all day.
Anyhoo, i'm not used to to working days and dealing with all the craziness. When i worked nights, i was able to sit and relax between 1-4am and i still went home in the morning with back ache and calves hurting cuz step down tele units can be a pain. I usually slept with my legs elevated on pillows cuz they hurt real bad. i got these skechers and the first night i wore them, i said "WOW!!!" i don't feel my feet hitting the ground.
I decided to start dayshift wearing these cuz i knew i wasn't used to running around all day and now i can't go back to my easy spirits. These are so comfortable i can do i 16hr shift in them. I walk in these shoes from 6:45am when i leave my house and i don't get of till 7:30 though most of the time you never leave till 8pm. And i walk home comfortably in them. I picked them up when they wer 29 bucks and i wish i'd grabbed 3pairs instead of 1. or even 2pairs. Nevertheless, they are worth every single penny, so much so i'll pay 60 bucks for their comfort.
If you are on your feet walking about for 12 or more hours, please get these and do your feet and yourself a big favor. Your feet will thank you.
I love these shoes and i'll say the only shoes i have that can match up to their comfort is my merrell relay tour sneakers.
Seriously, try them on and you will love them. Don't spend $140 on some shoe when you can get all the comfort and more in these sketchers. Honestly, till i go back to school again, i'm going to be wearing these only for work. They look great with scrubs, I don't like to wear the shoes i wear to work anywhere else cuz i think the hospital is dirty so i can't tell how they'll look with anything else but i'm sure they'll go with a nice pair of jeans. I've owned them since spring and they still feel comfortable despite all the 12hr shifts and overtime i've done in them.
I really hope skechers don't stop making these.
