Wether you’re a medical student starting an internship in a Hospital or you’re a surgeon, a nurse, or an Intermediate Care Technician, the shoes that you’re wearing at work should be:
- Suitable to support your bodyweight all day long
- Resistant to the daily damages caused by washing and wear
- Comfortable, as comfort always represents a key aspect concerning feet and posture
- Hygienic, easy to wash and sterilize, to eliminate the environmental bacterial count
- Safe and certified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), as to prevent the risks of a specific task
When thinking about the Nurse stereotype, what we immediately recall is their colourful rubber clogs, that include all the above-mentioned characteristics.

Safety standards for nursing clogs
Nursing clogs are class II Protective Equipments, certified in compliance with the European regulations Europe EN ISO 20347:2012 and 20345:2011, depending on the presence or not of the Cap.
Safety, in a nursing shoe, stands for:
- Slip-resistant
- Closed upper shoe to avoid the infiltration of potentially harmful organic substances
- Heel closure to stabilize the foot
These are the essentials. It’s in the different wards that specific technical needs take shape.
