How to choose the right shoes for toilets?

Thanks to long shifts with long hours on their feet, many health care workers, doctors and nurses suffer from problems due to the use of footwear that is not suitable for their work rhythm. The use of comfortable shoes that meet all ergonomic requirements is absolutely essential to protect both the health of the health worker who is wearing them and the health of other people around him/her.

The use of slip-resistant footwear makes the restroom workers’ day much safer, since 90% of the time they must be on their feet, moving from one room to another. For this reason, there is a high probability of unintentionally tripping over equipment or slipping due to the haste with which they often move. The majority of occupational accidents suffered by medical personnel are usually due to falls, which have major consequences.

In general, it is very difficult to make a list of the characteristics of the perfect sanitary footwear, as it always varies according to the needs of each individual. For example, surgeons who have to stand for long periods of time need an open back clog to provide stability during surgery…while nurses, for example, who walk around a lot, need something that allows them to move around very easily.

What are some of the general characteristics for buying the ideal sanitary footwear?

The ideal sanitary footwear must comply with a series of characteristics, most of which are aimed at the comfort of the person who is going to use them and the safety of those around them. Working in health care is a great responsibility and therefore measures must be taken. Some of the general characteristics of the ideal sanitary footwear are as follows:

Lightweight footwear: under no circumstances can footwear cause discomfort by being heavy, as this translates into major muscle injuries for the rescuers. Footwear should be ergonomic and should feel as minimal as possible.
Non-slip footwear: at all times the ideal footwear for the toilet must provide stability, since the success of your day will depend on it.
Antibacterial Footwear: nowadays, it is a complete necessity. The ideal footwear should have sufficient protection so that the foot of the toilet can perspire and avoid accumulating possible bacteria and viruses in its vicinity.
Comfortable shoes: in addition to being functional in the points of view mentioned above, the shoe must above all be comfortable for the person who is going to wear it, without chafing or discomfort in any area of the foot.
