CALZUROClassic Work Clogs with Holes - Unisex Work Clogs for Women and Men - Non Slip Shoes - Autoclavable Rubber Kitchen Shoes and Nursing Clogs

These are the ONLY shoes I wear for 12 hr hospital shifts. I discovered them while I was a dialysis nurse working 14hr shifts and they were literally heaven sent. My feet would hurt and my legs would ache after work but that stopped completely with these. I don't use the comfort insoles because I enjoy the feel of the nubby sole. Just so disappointed that every time I need a new pair the price has increased. When I first started buying them 2012, they were $65 then they went to $84 approx 2014. Bought another pair 2016 for $84 and now a yr later they're $94! They're very comfortable but sheesh they're still RUBBER! I wish there was something else that was as comfortable because I would certainly stop buying these. Anyway, I claim them on my taxes as a work expense. At first fit they feel ever so slightly small but then they're perfect after a couple wear so I'd say they are true to size. I have a high instep and these are perfect for me. I have worn Dansko and Sanita only to suffer with painful numb feet. I am on pair #4 in about 5 years. One of the four pairs is still fine bc they're not worn as often bc of the color. My others have worn down because I kind of land slightly on the sides of my heel when I walk. I never realize they are worn down though because my feet still feel really good. Fluids can and do get through the ventilation holes just doesn't really happen that much. If you step in a puddle the bottom of your feel will be wet from the bottom vent hole. I think they're great, I'm just annoyed by the incessant price increase.

Some info about me: I’m a nurse in a cardiac surgery ICU. I work 12 hour shifts, 3-4 days/ week. I have chronic back pain and my feet hurt so bad after work. I ordered a size 7-8 (most of my other shoes are 7.5-8). The fit was perfect for me, but definitely wouldn’t be the right fit for someone with wide feet.When these first showed up, I was SO excited because everyone at work absolutely loved them and said I would never have back pain or feet pain from standing again. I was super excited. I normally wear ASICS, but I always wear down the mesh around my big toe in about 6 months, so I was looking for something more durable. I put them on and headed to work. I literally could hardly walk to work in them without tearing up. It hurt SO bad. I thought maybe they just had to be broken in. So I wore them for 2 more days. Same thing- almost in tears and my feet were burning. I searched online “pain with calzuros” and what I found is that I needed to have an insert in them to prevent the bumpy bottom from hurting my feet. The Calzuro brand inserts showed up less than a week later and OMG I almost cried. It felt AMAZING wearing them with the inserts in!! I’m officially a lifelong Calzuro customer! Most comfortable shoes ever and I love how easy it is to sanitize them!

I effin love these shoes. I'm a medical student in a busy hospital, on my feet from ~6am - 6pm, and these are the only things that prevent my legs from giving out in the middle of it all. On my first surgical rotation, I spent about a week in sneakers before I made the switch, and the difference was night and day. Not only am I actually able to stand for the duration of clinic/the operative procedures, but I also don't have to worry about getting blood/bodily fluids on these cause I can just wipe them off with a Cavi wipe. I'd say about 60% of the residents on my current service also wear this brand of OR shoe too.I wear a 9 shoe (8.5 in heels, sometimes up to a 9.5) and I got the 38/39. I actually find it to be a little bit big: a true 38 would probably fit a bit better. I prefer to wear inserts, since I find that the nubbed bottom creates too much friction through my socks. NOTA BENE: the insert that comes with the shoes is NOT supposed to last! It is a TEMPORARY insert so that you can feel what the shoe is like with and without it, so that you don't waste $10 on the inserts that you might not end up liking anyway. And though these look narrow, they are actually decently roomy in the toe box (my friend with "wide" feet tried them on and said this.)Haven't tried the style without ventilation holes so I can't say how the ventilation compares, but my feet (in combo with compression socks and inserts) don't get overly hot in these. Having had blood fall on my feet today, I can also say that the ventilation holes haven't been a problem so far - I think their small enough that capillary action prevents transmission of fluids (of a reasonable amount) through to socks underneath.

As an RN with wide feet, I have searched for the best shoes for long days. I hate these shoes. The size that corresponds to my feet (11) are offered as "11-12.5". That's quite a range. Still, desperate to find the right shoe, I ordered them, and they seemed fine with the provided insoles when trying at home. After a couple of hours at work, I had to remove the insoles so they wouldn't fly off my feet with every step. Despite this, they felt floppy and flimsy with the bulk of support at the heel instead of anywhere near the arch. I don't think the fact that I have wide feet figured into my dissatisfaction at all. I really wanted to like them, as I love my addidas flip flops with massaging spikes/dots and thought these would offer some welcome soft tissue stimulation as well. I am returning them, despite the fact they will probably charge me for signs of wear. If you have doubts about these, move along. I would not recommend these to anyone.
