What shoes are nurses wearing?

Dansko- You either love or hate them. I personally LOVE them! Dansko's are the only shoes I can wear to work for twelve hours and my back and feet aren't killing me at the end of the day. They have tons of colors and patterns, very cute style that you can wear outside of work too!

You can find Dansko's here http://www.dansko.com/Womens/Footwear/Styles/Clogs/
