Experience Unmatched Comfort:

Unveiling the Perfect Shoes for Nurses

Elevate Your Long Shifts with Our Collection of Top-tier, Ultra-Comfy Nurse Shoes

Gales aren't your average nursing shoes

Nursing is physically demanding. Nurses walk 4-5 miles/day. Common issues that come along with not wearing quality footwear are:

  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Heel spurs
  • Inflammation

Gales was founded to give back to the healthcare community through innovation with Smart PPE Footwear™ technology, offering the highest level of affordability, safety, cleanability, comfort and style in its class.

Common footwear worn in medical facilities puts our frontline nurses at risk, leaving 59 million providers exposed to infectious fluids and disease, so we led the charge to be the first to complete the bio-safe uniform.

My favorite part is the cushy material!

I am over weight and 58 years old. I have Diabetic Neuropathy and can not stand to have shoes tight across my toes. I was reduced to crocks... But lately I am having trouble with them staying on my feet. The Gales are shoes and the toe box is loose enough to limit pain. And with heel spurs... The spring in each step is so comfortable. I just ordered a second pair. THANK YOU GALES.

Walking on clouds

I have ''On- cloud'', ''Cloves'' and ''Asics'', and my gales are by far my most favorite so far. They have vents, so my feet do not feel sweaty, yet they are splash/fluid proof (C-Diff proof!!). These shoes are the most lightweight feeling, that put a spring in my step when walking. I highly recommend these for any healthcare professional, or service personal that will need a great new pair of non-skid shoes.

Love these shoes!

As a surgical resident, I get so much use out of these shoes. I was a little skeptical as they did squeak when I first put them on, but the squeaking has stopped and they are very comfortable for long shifts on my feet. I get so many compliments on these shoes and nurses/doctors asking where I got them. They also protect my feet and wipe clean really easily so I’m not afraid when I get blood/fluids on them. Have become my favorite shoes. Highly recommend!

Definitely will be getting another pair!!

2nd night in a row of wearing my Gales. Best purchase ever!! #1 reason is that my plantar fasciitis and knees didn't act up at all! (Wasn't walking like an old woman at work and actually able to get out of bed with no aches and pain) No break in period needed (brought other shoes just in case), shoes were very cushiony and true to fit.

COMFIEST SHOES EVER

I got my Gales for nursing school, and let me tell you, my feet feel like they are on cloud nine! These shoes are light, plush, easily wipeable, and a necessity for nursing students and nurses alike! Go grab your pair now!

Love how comfy these shoes are!

I received my Gales+ few days ago and they are super comfortable! I use them on a day to day basis and are very resistant.

I love the aesthetic of the shoe and it’s weight (you don’t feel you are wearing shoes!). Also super easy to clean.

Love my Gales 😍

Most comfortable shoes for nurses, dental assistants, and anyone who stands on their feet.

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.

Ultra comfortable, wear everywhere shoe

I received my 3 pairs of Gales (white, blue & grey). I am not in the medical field and use them for gardening, on the pool deck, and just for general wear. The comfort is incredible & they are so easy to just wipe clean.

Comfort and versatility

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. Whether your keeping it together on the front lines or letting loose on the dance floor, these Gales are there to support you!

True-to-size fit!

I ordered the same size as I would in Nike and they fit perfectly! My feet are a bit wide and did not feel cramped at all. Super comfortable and have great arch support too.
