Women’s Shoes For Nurses & Health Professionals

What Kind of Shoes are Best for Nurses? 

The best shoes for the work nurses do every day are durable, supportive, and comfortable, though traditional pairs are not the most stylish. Typically, nurses wear shoes that are slip resistant and comfortable slip-on pairs, as they are on their feet for long periods of time while working in a fast-paced environment. Nurses may also wear shoes with a lower heel to help with balance and stability, and some nursing shoes also have additional arch support to help with back pain. Additionally, nurses often prefer shoes with closed toes, as this helps to protect their feet from hazards.

Our original range has many styles that perform flawlessly as leather nursing shoes and everyday pairs. We put wellness at the forefront and only use quality materials, such as leather and specialised breathable materials in some of our sneakers, though each style is engineered to treat your feet with care. If you’re looking for nursing shoes with arch support, for example, our renowned layered support and cushion systems are fitted uniquely to each pair providing ample heel, arch, and forefoot support. There are plenty of stylish options that are *slip resistant too. 

With such iconic design and handcrafted style, you can partner a FRANKIE4 pair with your scrubs then an off-duty look just as easily. Black nursing shoes are extremely popular options for specifically this reason, especially from our selection of casual sneakers (including Mim and Winnie). 

Your health requirements and concerns are important too and mustn't be forgotten. Every style is created with your sole wellness in mind—for example, many FRANKIE4 pairs with removable footbeds can function as orthopedic nursing shoes, and not only are they orthopedic friendly but stylish, too. 

Why Are Nurses Shoes Important? 

There are many benefits of nursing shoes, including: providing comfort and support; helping to prevent foot and lower leg injuries; improving  your posture and alignment; and they can also help to improve your circulation, reduce fatigue, and improve your energy levels.

With this inspiration, we strive to create the best nursing shoes Australia founded and to deliver nurses shoes that are just as beautiful outside the wards. 

*This refers to specific styles that meet and/or exceed the slip resistance test ISO 13287:2019 (SRC). Please note that while they are slip resistant, they are not completely slip-proof. Please use general caution as you would in any other shoe.
