Carter’s Toy Teddy Girl Baby’s First Foot and Hand Print Kit,
Someone told me Crocs cant smell like feet. True?
I have never had this issue before but I have been wearing my crocs (with the lining) daily for months and my heels hurt when I walk on them without my shoes and my knees ache every night.
Before the next case I went over to the doctor’s lounge just next to the O.R. I grabbed a bite to eat and sat down. From over my shoulder I heard, “I don’t want to bother you, but would you mind if I asked you a question?” It was Amy, the scrub nurse I had been working with all morning. “Every morning when I get out of bed I have this heel pain…”
I listened to her story, about how her heels first hurt when she gets out of bed. About how they don’t usually bother her while she is standing during surgery, but how she gets this sharp pain after she sits down for a break and then gets up and starts walking again. She seemed somewhat frustrated because it had been going on for about two months.
I looked at her yellow crocs, that likely used to be bright, long before being splattered with saline, blood and iodine. I paused and said, “So let me guess. You got your Crocs about six months ago.” And quick came the reply, “how did you know!”
Well I am not a psychic, palm reader, sole reader, nor any kind of magician, other than a podiatrist. The fact is, its just math. It seems that Crocs will only withstand about 3-4 months of being compressed between a nurse (working hard on his/her feet all day) and the hospital floor (hard as concrete, quite literally). Wearing Crocs past the life of the shoe can result in plantar fasciitis. This was also about the third or fourth time I had a similar exchange with a nurse complaining of heel pain in the hospital.
The fact is nurses work hard. Up, down, charting, giving meds, dressing wounds, hanging IV’s, putting Mr. Jones’s nasal cannula back in nose instead of his eyebrow, busy, busy all the time. The shoes that nurses wear must be prepared for a world class beating. And not all shoes are created equal.
The Croslite material (the only material in Crocs) is quite similar to the cushioning midsole of a running shoe. As a marathon runner and Ironman triathlete I can say that the stuff does not last forever. I am always advising patients (who are also runners) how to tell if the midsole is worn out. And when it is…time to donate them to a less fortunate recipient at the homeless shelter.
Does that mean Crocs are bad? Nope. It just means they are soft and don’t last real long. I will however, say that if you are on the wards, walking fast all day, they are worse than if you are mostly standing (like in the O.R.). If you have any foot or ankle instability, such as flatfeet, bunions or tendinitis, you are at risk of aggravating those problems. If you have high arches you are safe.
One other potential concern is the little air vents in the toe box. There have been many incidences with sharps, so watch the toes around needles, scalpels and other falling pointed things. Some facilities actually have instituted policies against Crocs because of safety concerns.
So, if they take away my beloved Crocs, what will I wear? I would suggest something good for your feet. Flat-footed people should wear athletic shoes with motion control features and stability. If you have high arches, wear cushioning running shoes or something with a rocker sole that will decrease stress in the big toe joint. If I had to pick one shoe for nurses, I would pick Dansko clogs. To see more choices than you could ever want, click on our recommended running shoe list on our website. Remember…you nurses deliver all of the care that actually happens. You need your feet to take of the rest of us. Nurses should take care of their feet as well as they take care of their patients.

Love them or hate them, Crocs are kind to your feet. The CrocsRx line (intended for people with diabetes or other circulatory problems) has won all sorts of podiatric seals of approval. Just check out the American Podiatric Medical Association’s website, which lists Crocs as a foot-friendly alternative to flip-flops.
So what makes Crocs so good for your feet?
First of all, Crocs provide a wide and roomy toe box. With lots of wiggle room, the toes can spread out and lie flat. This type of toe box is perfect for people with bunions, calluses, corns and hammertoe – all foot conditions and deformities that are aggravated by shoes with toe boxes that are too tight. Crocs’ roomy toe box is also helpful for people with congenital deformities such as overlapping or underlapping toes. The benefit of this much space for your toes to hang out in is twofold: Crocs will not aggravate any pre-existing conditions, and they will not lead to the development of a new foot injury or deformity.
In addition to the toe box, Crocs offer a supportive heel cup that makes them a potentially excellent choice for people suffering from plantar fasciitis (the inflammation of connective tissue along the bottom of the feet). The contoured foot bed is designed to promote stability and reduce excess pronation. Contributing to this stable ride is the fact that Crocs have a heel strap. One of the biggest problems with flip-flops or backless shoes is that the toes are forced to grip the foot bed in order to keep the foot securely in the shoe. This “gripping” action distorts your stride and puts pressure on your knees.
In addition to these structural benefits, CrocsRx line offers a few additional perks. The Silver Fox and Silver Cloud (both from the CrocsRx line) are made from a material infused with silver particles. The presence of silver in the material of the shoe acts as an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent. This helps to eliminate foot odor and, most importantly, foot infections. In addition to the special anti-microbial properties of the shoes, Crocs prevent the spread of infection thanks to their ventilation holes and fast-drying material.
Crocs may not be the shoes for everyone, but they do offer support, protection and anti-microbial properties that make them a good candidate for a lightweight orthopedic shoe. Talk to your doctor if you think Crocs may serve your medical needs.
