Why Nurses Choose STAND+ Shoes

In the demanding world of healthcare, the professionals who work tirelessly around the clock need the very best tools at their disposal. This doesn't just refer to state-of-the-art medical equipment, but extends right down to the shoes they wear. Many healthcare professionals are now turning to STAND+ (Formerly Gales®) shoes, not just for comfort but for a comprehensive range of benefits. But what exactly makes STAND+ shoes the preferred choice among real nurses and healthcare professionals? Let's find out.

Unrivaled Comfort

The first word that comes to mind when healthcare professionals describe STAND+ shoes is "comfort." STAND+ understands that healthcare professionals spend hours on their feet, so they've designed their shoes with superior cushioning and arch support to help mitigate foot fatigue. Each shoe is engineered with the perfect balance of firmness and softness to maximize comfort during those long shifts.

Excellent Support and Stability

The healthcare environment often demands swift movement, and stability is critical to prevent slips and falls. STAND+ are designed with a robust non-slip sole, providing an excellent grip on a variety of surfaces. Coupled with their world-class foot support, STAND+ provide not just comfort but peace of mind, too.

Durability Meets Style

STAND+ shoes don’t compromise style for durability. Their shoes are constructed from high-quality materials designed to withstand the test of time and the rigors of a healthcare environment. STAND+ shoes come in a variety of colors and two sleek designs to match your personal style. Finally, a shoe that works as hard as you do, and looks good doing it!

Easy to Clean

Hygiene is paramount in healthcare settings. That's why STAND+ shoes are designed to be antimicrobial and easily cleanable, with waterproof and bleach proof materials that help maintain the integrity of the shoe over time. With STAND+, you can ensure that you're meeting hygiene standards without the wear and tear typically associated with regular cleaning.

The Fit of Satisfaction

Another thing that sets STAND+ shoes apart is the incredible fit. They come in a broad range of sizes, including half sizes, and multiple styles that fit narrow to wide feet. Finding your perfect fit means less pressure on your feet, reduced chances of blisters, and an overall better experience on those long shifts.

Of course, the real testament to STAND+ Shoes comes from the healthcare professionals themselves:

1. "My knee has a slight fracture from a fall a year ago. My knee would hurt me and have swelling as well. I have noticed that ever since I have been wearing these shoes that I don't get swelling anymore. They really have helped me at work and my feet no longer get swollen after work." - Maggie Rodrigue
2. "Omigosh, I wore these with my anti-embolism socks. Every step, skip and hop...running I took to get to the next patient felt so good. The cushion-y feel, the way the shoes would mold to the movement of my feet, as I moved around the unit, felt good with these shoes on. These are the best shoes I've ever worn. I have wide feet and I've had a lot of jobs where I am standing on end for hours, and not just nursing. I wish I could've known about these shoes sooner. I wear 8.5 wide and I love these shoes so much. Mid shift I thought I would get that tired feeling that radiates from my feet for having tortured them for hours by standing and running throughout shift, that kind of tired that makes you sigh from sheer exhaustion.... But nope! I didn't feel that at all. I love these shoes." - T
3. "Wow! I was not prepared for these bad boys! They are super light, like the weight of 3 tennis balls, easy to put on and take off and, man oh man, its like walking on clouds. I wore them for 3 days straight and forgot I had shoes on. I suffer from a lot of ankle and knee pain and wearing these really help alleviate unnecessary pressure on my joints. I got the white pair and wore them out to meet some friends to “break them in” (trust me when I say, “no breaking in needed”) and living in NYC I accidentally got some gross smudges and what I thought were scuffs. Got home and used a lysol wipe to clean them, and just like that, brand new! They are breathable and an absolute joy to wear." - Sean
4. "I tried the original STAND+ and while they were a great cushiony shoe, they were quite narrow on my feet. This new Pro Line is great. The fit is much wider and roomier in general. No rubbing or squeezing. The all white color is perfect for my nursing school uniform requirement! Very lightweight yet substantial - they aren’t cheaply made. The holes on the side allow for air flow to avoid sweaty feet. And there are no laces or books and crannies for fluids (or worse) to hide in. Easily wipeable. Very happy with the Pro Line and I’ve been recommending to all my friends." - Allison
5. "I’m a Medical Technologist 4yr science degree specialized in Medical Laboratory science. I have worked 41 years in the profession on my feet most of the day and these are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn for the job! Easy to wear and easy to clean PPE! With a nation wide shortage of Certified Med Techs, we work long hours providing lab results to doctors and nurses. These shoes make my days a little easier. Thanks STAND+ and the Today Show for introducing me to this product!" - Pam

As you can see, STAND+ shoes stand out as the preferred footwear for nurses and other healthcare professionals. Combining unparalleled comfort, exceptional support, and unwavering durability, STAND+ truly help our healthcare heroes stride with confidence.
