Haha, heathcare worker wearing sandals

I am sitting here at Midnight watching the Today's Special Value.  Very nice looking sandals.  But the host was listing who might wear these and she mentioned healthcare workers. Haha, imagine working in a hospital with open toed shoes. Treating people bleeding and vomiting and who know what manner of gross stuff with sandals on. Not to mention heavy things falling on you as your work.  Hopefully she meant they can wear them when they are off from work.

@mormel20 Yes, I do believe she meant healthcare workers could wear them after work. She also mentioned running a marathon. So, I think she mentioned activities that would cause you to need an orthotic type shoe after working/running (at least I hope so). And it is very true. After a long hike I am ready for my recovery shoes.

Yes @cjm61 , that's definitely what she said.  People who stand, walk and run a lot frequently wear recovery slides afterward.

I think the kind of shoes worn by healthcare works, and others in a lab setting is determined by OSHA.

OSHA doesn't determine foot wear in a health care situation.  I wore clogs many years as a nurse in the DR.  Medical entities determine attire regulations.   The shoes sold were not advised for health care workers in the field but after work to aidin comfort after a long day on your feet.
