Budget Option - Not Recommended for Nursing
$65 upfront cost. Good for trying shoes before investing in premium options.
Good weight for movement-heavy shifts.
Nike quality and widespread availability.
Minimal padding. Feels thin underfoot after 6+ hours. Your feet will hurt.
Not enough for arch pain or plantar fasciitis.
Breaks down quickly. Cost-per-wear is actually higher than premium shoes.
Many nurses report developing pain by end of shift.
Not recommended for nursing. The short lifespan means you'll replace them every 3-4 months. Total yearly cost exceeds better quality shoes. Better to spend $150 on Brooks Ghost 15 that lasts 9 months. Your feet will thank you.
