Being a nurse means being on your feet - literally - for hours on end. Whether you're doing ward rounds, lifting patients, or running to emergencies, your shoes aren't just an accessory .. they're a critical part of your uniform. That’s why we’ve created a range of footwear for nurses and health carers that are designed to be as tough and supportive as you are .. and to keep you going through a typical shift.
Here’s everything you need to know about choosing the right pair - and why our comfortable shoes are the best fit for nurses across Australia. Comfort, safety, and durability are just the start of what we offer. If you're searching for reliable, supportive shoes for nurses with exceptional comfort, you're in the right place.
What makes a great nursing shoe?
Before we get into the good stuff (like our top picks!), let’s chat about what really matters in a nursing shoe:
- Certified slip resistant soles: Hospital floors are no joke - long concrete corridors, slick tiles, and wet areas are par for the course. You need grip that won’t quit.
- Certified water resistant uppers: From unexpected spills to fast-paced shifts, dry feet make all the difference.
- Comfortable and supportive: Long shifts call for shoes with built-in structure, not just soft cushioning. You're already tired - your feet shouldn't be.
- Bio mechanical support: Shoes that work with your feet, not against them, to help reduce fatigue and pain. Plus, considered design elements for common foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis providing added comfort and structure where it counts most.
- Durable: You want shoes that’ll last the distance and ensure your comfort for shift to shift, day to day and month to month.
- Designed for all day wear: Proper arch and heel support isn’t a luxury - it’s a must.
Why she wear nurse shoes are different
At she wear, we don’t believe in compromise - especially not when it comes to healthcare workers. Our footwear is built specifically for women’s feet (no shrunken-down men’s shoes here!) and are designed to keep you comfy, aligned and safe from the start to end of your shift.
1. Female specific design
Our founder Stacey created she wear after her own frustrating experience finding work boots that fit. That same mindset goes into our nurse shoes: built to suit the shape and needs of female feet, not a generic mould.
2. Engineered for comfort & support
We integrate bio mechanical footbeds that support natural foot motion and help minimise fatigue. Whether you’re walking, standing or lifting, our shoes are designed for stability and exceptional comfort.
3. Slip resistant soles and water resistant uppers
Safety first .. our nursing shoes are built for work! They feature durable outsoles that are certified slip resistant and upper materials that are certified water resistant - ideal for busy, unpredictable environments.
4. Long lasting durability
Our materials are chosen for their toughness. Our she wear footwear is designed to give you all day comfort over a long period of time and will go the distance, shift after shift.
