How to Choose a Hospital Clog

For the longest time, medical professionals wore standard dress shoes, but over time many people who work in the medical business began to realize how uncomfortable such shoes were to wear for any length of time. Dress shoes may look nice and professional, but for many medical professionals, a finely honed appearance isn't want their work is about. Instead, it's about patient care, sometimes urgently so. Other models of shoe like tennis shoes or sneakers may have been more practical to long hours of standing and moving quickly, but they were unsanitary and were quickly ruined if exposed to any biological or chemical substance.

But then one day, medical professionals could begin purchasing clogs. These old fashioned style of shoe, most commonly known as a wooden shoe, came in a new form that made use of modern plastic as well as leathers to create footwear that was perfect for the medical environment. These shoes had a huge amount of benefits that lent them toward this kind of work and soon everyone was wearing these products around medical institutions. If you don't already own a pair of these products, here's how to choose a hospital clog for your work.

Clogs are very simple shoes. They slip on and off easily and have no laces. Fortunately, this doesn't mean they fall off easily like flip-flops. Instead, the design of the show holds your foot firmly in place. Some models do feature adjustable straps as well for individuals looking for a tight fit. The most distinguishing feature of these products is their overall design. Tight at the heel, the two of the show is very pronounced and wide. This allows ample foot room and a great deal of comfort as it allows your foot to breathe and move freely. This is the opposite of most sneakers, which are tight on the front and loose on the heel. Most of these products also have a small amount of lift to them, which can be very helpful for people of shorter stature, however, flat models are also available.

For anyone trying these products on for the first time, simply just slide your foot inside and walk around a little in the shoe. The shoe shouldn't slip and it shouldn't feel tight. You'll know immediately if the sizing is wrong. Since the body of the shoe is firm, as opposed to soft like sneakers, these products can handle both wide and narrow feet, so choose a model that fits snuggly on the heel. If it does have a lift, make sure you are comfortable with the feel of the lift and can walk easily in it.

These products have many more benefits as well. Look for models that are slip-resistant. These are very common as many professionals use these products, some in wet areas. Spills can be extremely dangerous in hospitals so any additional support and protection is very important to keeping everyone safe.
