A good pair of sanitary clogs can help prevent further stress on the feet and thus increase productivity at work. Below are some basic characteristics to look for in a pair of clogs for healthcare professionals:
Arch support
We have often heard about the importance of arch support in footwear worn by healthcare professionals. It is a very important aspect of ensuring foot comfort, reducing strain on the back and hip and improving posture. A shock absorbent sole made of quality materials can therefore be of great help in preventing physical pain.
Slip-resistant soles
As the hospital floor is extremely slippery due to the material it is made of and the maintenance with specific detergents, it can be easy for operators to slip. Therefore, it is important to choose clogs with non-slip soles.
Given the main characteristics of sanitary clogs, let's discover some of the lines belonging to the Reposa brand:
Max
This is the best seller of the Reposa catalogue. It is antistatic, non-slip, and with closed upper to offer maximum protection and comfort. It also has side holes to help your foot stay ventilated and makes it easier to wash and dry the clog when needed. The clog has a safety back-strap to ensure it stays well anchored to the feet.
Light art collection
The key word is “lightness”, ideal if you’re looking for protective yet lightweight and comfortable work footwear. The following models are part of the line:
- Light One: the basic version of the Light line, a sanitary clog with all the essential safety features. The closed upper protects against infiltration, while the side windows help to keep the feet ventilated. It is equipped with a flip-up lace with rivet fastening and an anti-slip SRC sole.
- Light shock: its winning feature is still its extreme lightness, while the SRC anti-slip sole and anti-static plug protect against the risk of slipping and shocks due to the accumulation of electrostatic charges. The side openings allow the foot to ventilate, while the closed upper protects against the infiltration of liquids and other substances. An antibacterial and antistatic insole is included.
