8 Best White Nursing Shoes for Women

Determining the best white nursing shoes for women is not as cut and dry as you might think. There are a variety of factors that go into determining what makes the best nursing shoes. Every nurse’s feet are different, and there is no one size fits all option for nursing shoes. However, I’ve compiled a list of top-selling and highest-rated white nursing shoes that will go great with your Caribbean blue scrubs (or really, any scrubs).

Many nurses and nursing students have a single color choice when selecting nursing shoes: white. In most cases these nurses can wear any type and style they like as long as they are white. Many nurses who have to wear white shoes are discouraged by the limitation of their footwear. However, they shouldn’t despair. There are many stylish and fashionable white nursing shoes available to fit any budget. Whether you want a simple clog or a set of sleek leather Mary Janes, there is something for everyone. So without further delay, let’s get right to the best white nursing shoes.

Best White Nursing Shoes

1. Timberland Professional Women’s Renova Slip-On

I’ve written about the Timberland Renova Pro in the past, and I absolutely love them. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. I think a lot of that has to do with the anti-fatigue technology. It could also have something to do with the heel-to-toe rocker sole that reduces forefoot pressure and aids in controlling proper joint motion through the ankles, knees, and hips.

Reason to Buy: leg and back support, our top pick, slip resistant

2. Skechers Women’s D’Lites Sneaker

If you are a Sketchers fan, you will love these. Praised by walking enthusiasts and nurses alike, these shoes are a comfortable lace-up sneaker. They do come available in a wide, which is helpful if your feet swell after a long day. (We’d also recommend some compression hose to help with swelling.) Many state they keep buying this pair of shoes year after year.

Reason to Buy: comfort lasts all day, supportive, wide available

3. Alegria Women’s Paloma Flat

These stylish Mary Jane nursing shoes are some of the most popular shoes a nurse can buy. They feel great the first time you step in and even better as they mold to your feet. They are great for someone with foot problems or back issues. These are quickly becoming a crowd favorite for nurses and nursing students alike. For more options check out these awesome

4. Cherokee Women’s Exact Clog

These shoes are super comfortable and easy to slip on. Described by some as “walking on a cloud” they will help make long shifts more tolerable. Be aware they do not come in half sizes, and some have mentioned they squeak. But overall, most agree these are an excellent pair of shoes for the money. One Amazon reviewer even stated she has these shoes in 6 different colors!
Cost: $  Rating: 4.1 Stars Material: Leather Fit: As Expected
Reason to Buy: stylish and comfortable, foot bed contours to your feet

5. Crocs Women’s Mercy Clog

If you like to wear Crocs in your off time, these are a great option to wear to work. They do not have the holes that traditional Crocs are known for but do have the open feel in the back. They are an inexpensive option for nursing students who need a pair of white nursing shoes with their uniform and receive favorable reviews for comfort.
Cost: $  Rating: 4.0 Stars Material: Croslite Fit: As Expected
Reason to Buy: Lightweight and comfortable, slip resistant

6. Dansko Women’s Professional Box Leather Clog

I’ve meet so many nurses who simply swear by white leather Danskos. In fact, they were my very first pair of nursing shoes. I received them as a gift from my mother and also received many compliments on them. They do come in European sizes, and they also have a hard sole, (some find this difficult to get used to) however, they are some of the best shoes around when it comes to preventing back pain.
Cost: $$$  Rating: 3.8 Stars Material: Leather Fit: As Expected
Reason to Buy: Support your back, prevent pain from standing

7. Cherokee Women’s Patricia Step In Shoe

These shoes are similar in style to Dansko, but are more lightweight and about half the price. Many with foot injuries or other forms of “bad feet” state that these are the only shoes they can wear comfortably. They do have a break in period but are great after that. The insoles are removable, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
Cost: $$  Rating: 3.8 Stars Material: Leather Fit: As Expected
Reason to Buy: slip resistant, padded collar, light weight

8. crocs Women’s Neria Work Clog

Look, we didn’t think that Crocs would make this list once, let alone twice. But frankly, these aren’t the garden shoes you are familiar with. These are a solid clog with a back that is easy to clean and super comfortable. These have a relaxed fit and your heel will move up and down as you walk, as with many clogs. These are another option that has the look of Danskos but are considerably less, especially on Amazon.
Cost: $$  Rating: 3.8 Stars Material: Croslite Fit: As Expected
Reason to Buy: comfortable, easy to keep clean, slip-resistant

We’re confident that this list includes some of the best white shoes for nurses and nursing students. Although, this is by no means a conclusive list of all the options available. We’d welcome your feedback so we can research your favorite pair.
