So I'm approaching my third year of medical school and its time to get some new shoes.
As a medical student I'll be wearing the standard shirt and tie attire which tends to require some sort of leather shoe to go along with it. Being a bit on the sartorial side, I refuse to wear the standard rockport-tennis-shoe-monstrosity or the equally hideous dansko. I currently have a pair of brown wingtips and black cap toes, that while great for the day in class or at an office, dont work for the typical day on the wards where you're on your feet for 8+ hours a day. Now I've heard the saying that leather bottom shoes are the most comfortable you can get, but in my experience, that comfort begins to wane around 5 hours on your feet.
Any suggestions for super comfortable, yet stylish and appropriate* shoes?
Thanks!
*unfortunately, while the brown wingtip style is fine, black shiny cap toes are considered too formal for a student in the hospital setting. at least, in my experience.
