If you are a nurse suffering from heel pain, you probably notice it first thing in the morning when you get up out of bed for the first time and stand up. During the night your heel tissue begins to repair itself but as soon as you stand up you are in essence re-injuring that very same tissue.
Most people can't afford to take off from work while their injured heels are healing so what can you do ease your suffering? Artificial support goes a long way. In other words start using those gelled arch and heal support inserts. But remember, once you go to using arch supports you ALWAYS have to use them. The only time you should be without them is when your are showering/bathing or in bed.
So what kind of shoe will give a nurse the best chance of keeping her feet healthy and ache free?Here are some critical must haves. As you read along see if you don't agree that Crocs Nursing Shoes provide you with all of these attributes.
- You want to wear a shoe that has a toe box that allows your toes to spread out naturally. Your toes are vital to your balance and proper support of your body's weight. Stay away from shoes that are tight and pinch your toes. They don't allow your toes to do their job.
- Look for a shoe that has a deep heel cup which will hold your heel tissue in place. If you don't have a cushiony heel cup your plantar fascia gets pushed to the side and no longer is in the proper place to cushion your bone.
- Look for an unelevated heel to the shoe. A flatter soled shoe allows all the bones in your feet to properly support your body weight.
- You want to look for a sole that is lightweight and has some cushion.
