With flu season right around the corner, nurses all over are preparing for double shifts. Nurses take care of all our aches and pains, and make us comfortable during our most trying times. All the while, many nurses are stuck with stiff, uncomfortable shoes.

Nothing’s worse than pulling a double shift with throbbing feet, which is why the weekly comfort item caters to our nation’s favorite medical providers. Nurse Mates Faith Mary Jane style shoes are both adorable and comfortable. Available in two colors, feel free to wear Nurse Mates Faith shoes paired with any of your favorite decorative scrubs. Dickie’s Medical Mini Wrap Top and Dickie’s Medical Cargo pants in dark gray look fabulous with a pair of black Nurse Mates Faith shoes.

Why are comfortable nursing shoes so important? Comfortable nursing shoes are important because a nurse has to be comfortable in order to make her patients comfortable. A nurse needs to be pleasant – and it’s hard to be pleasant when your feet are achy and sore. Nurse Mates is a brand that has been setting the bar for safety standards since 1961. Comfortable nursing shoes must also be slip resistant, as liquids on tile hospital floors can pose significant slip risks. All Nurse Mates shoes exceed ASTM slip-resistant qualifications.

What else can nurses and other medical providers do for their tired, achy feet other than wear comfortable nursing shoes? Try products such as AHAVA The Source Mineral Foot Treatment . Simply massage a generous amount into your feet and legs to prevent rough soles and to rejuvenate tired feet.

This flu season nurses need to make sure to keep their feet especially comfortable. With the H1N1 epidemic expected to explode, nurses will be on their feet for several hours at a time. Shoes such as Nurse Mates Faith and Nurse Mates Amber and products such as AHAVA The Source Mineral Foot Treatment are all available to make the life of nurses more comfortable and healthy.
