Nurses are on their feet ALL day which is why it is imperative they have a great pair of shoes. They not only need a comfortable shoe but they also need one that will hold up to the beating they are going to be put through walking the floor every 12 hour shift.
I’ve been an avid runner since I started running cross-country back in middle school; so I know a thing or two about needing a great pair of shoes. For me personally my Saucony tennis shoes are just that. I’ve had the same pair of shoes for a couple of years and they still look and feel amazing. So when I heard Lydia’s was going to start carrying more from the Saucony brand I couldn’t have been more excited. Now we have 6 different styles with more coming (shhhh I never said that).
Of all the Saucony shoes we carry my top 2 are the Lancer and the Kinvara 5.
The Lancer is a light stability shoe with lots of cushioning to keep as comfortable as possible. They also have a breathable mesh fabric on the upper wrap to keep your feet cool. This is actually me in my Lancer's below. :)
The second kind are the Kinvara 5. This shoe is not only award-winning it’s honestly like a little piece of heaven. The Kinvara 5 features a new mesh upper wrap that offers a snug fit, along with optimal flexibility and durability. Saucony did an amazing job adding in all the features you want in a nursing shoe without adding in all the weight of a clog.
The thing is you can buy any brand of shoe and get by but these are tried and true in the nursing profession. Don’t fall into the trap of buying a cheap pair at a department store and end up spending more in the long run replacing your shoes every few months. Do yourself and your feet a favor and check out our Saucony brand. Lydia's offers free shipping and easy returns to keep the process as simple and quick as possible.
