Crocs banned in hospitals
It seems that it is the end of the road for Crocs and Croc-style clogs in hospitals.
The rubber clogs are extremely popular in hospitals, they are easy to clean and comfortable, however they do not offer sufficient protection against sharp objects.
According to the telegraph the policy has outraged many nurses who find crocs extremely comfortable, it is also easy to wipe blood from the clogs.
This ties with a uniform policy implemented by the Welsh Government that states “that footwear used in medical and clinical areas should be an enclosed/full shoe, which provides adequate support and a stable, non-slip sole.”
Help is at hand in the form of the Algeria Debra Professional Shoe.
The Algeria Debra shoe has an anti slip sole and anti stain finish, this has been tested on blood so nurses need not worry about wearing blood stained footwear.
The Algeria shoe also feature an insole made from memory foam, guarantying comfort throughout those long shifts.
