Nurses are known for the long hours they spend on their feet, but plenty of other professionals stand all day too. People in retail sales, the beauty and fashion industries, education, and the hospitality and leisure industries are standing and walking around all day as well. When you put that much pressure on your feet, you want shoes that perform as well as you do.
Alegria shoes give you the support you need, whether you're taking care of patients, clients or students, and we always have closeouts that will keep more money in your bank account while still making your feet happy. Take a look at how Alegria gives you a classy look at an incredible price.
Oh, My Aching Feet
You love what you do, so you probably don't even notice as the hours tick by at work. But your feet do. The average American racks up 75,000 miles of foot travel by age 50, but if you work at a job where you walk all day, you can easily double or triple that amount. Your feet support your whole body, literally from the ground up. You may not be running your entire shift, but did you know that anytime you do run you're putting an extra 400 percent of your weight on your feet?
Blisters, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and Achilles tendonitis are all common foot problems among those who work on their feet, but they are avoidable if you wear supportive, well-fitting shoes, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Arch support is equally important for overall health. If your shoes don't properly support your arches, you could develop musculoskeletal problems that ultimately result in loss of mobility and permanent disability.
Nurse Shoe Solutions With Style
It's no wonder your feet hurt if you're standing on them nursing for eight or nine hours a day, but it doesn't have to be that way. And you can avoid all the leg pain, backaches, and general fatigue also caused by wearing the wrong shoes during those long shifts. Alegria is the highest rated shoe for nurses, and other professionals benefit from them too. By choosing Alegria shoes, you won't have to worry about foot pain or wonder if you have the right arch support. Alegria's footbeds provide a custom fit that contours to your foot and keeps the shape with a combination of memory foam, cork, and soft polyurethane. These layers mold to your particular arch to support your foot and your entire body. Check out some of our outstanding choices to make you stand out at work:
Love gardens full of flowers? Plant your feet in the pretty petals of comfort when you wear the Alegria Kayla Pro Hello Love shoes.
How sophisticated is it to have the silver lines of the Alegria Debra Wild West Ash peeking out from the vent of your favorite scrub pants?
Rather accentuate your print scrub tops with a solid shoe? Try the ever-classic and comfortable Mary Jane style with the Alegria Paloma Pro in Navy or Wine.
It's not just the nurses who get to have all the comfort and fun with Alegria shoes. Sales associates, hairdressers, elementary teachers and anybody who stands all shift benefit from the custom fit and variety of prints and textures offered by Alegria.
