As a former long distance runner I applied my simple shoe philosophy to nursing.Buy a high quality shoe and replace them often. I prefer http://jonsguide.org/best-top-nike-free-trainer-5-0-reviews/ Now this all depends on how far you walk in an average shift with the average being 3-5 miles. Most shoes are designed for running so if you are only walking in them the will last a little longer. Most shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles so only walking will lean them towards a longer life (400-500 miles). So if you work 12 hour shifts full time you should be replacing your shoes at least twice a year. If you chose to buy running shoes you can also usually find good deals on last seasons designs/colors and get great shoes for half price or less.
