Q&A
Tell us about your nursing experience.
“I have been a nurse for 8 years. I am a pediatric emergency room nurse, and I am on my feet for 12 hour night shifts 3x a week.”
What shoes do you usually wear to work and why?
“When I first started nursing I was wearing nurse mates faithfully. Then once those shoes wore down from wearing them every day I just lazily threw on a pair of sneakers. I have been switching sneakers often trying to find a shoe to wear to work that I love and honestly I just wasn't finding anything.”
How long are you usually at work during a typical shift?
“12 hour shifts 3x a week”
What do you like about Nurse Mates shoes?
“I love the design and comfort. They are so cute, I used to own a cheetah color one, and now these black shiny ones are just as cute. I love that after 12 hours it still doesn't feel like I've been standing on my feet all day.”
What do you dislike about Nurse Mates shoes?
“I am clumsy so my first pair of nurse mates I used to trip in them all the time, but these new align ones don't feel as high and I think I've only tripped in them once in the past month.”
