Nurses are generally known to wear white but sometimes it’s good to switch it up. These black clogs are perfect for nurses who either want a change or just prefer to wear black.
We have, however, noticed that there is some divide in what type of footwear nurses are looking for when searching for “clogs”.
Some are looking for traditional clogs made of leather (or similar material) for a professional look, while others are looking for more relaxed, black rubber clogs for comfort while on the ward. This is why we’ve separated the list in two so you can just click your preference below, and you’ll be taken to the appropriate section. We sincerely hope we have something here that can make you happy!
The main image of some of these shoes may not be black but the option (and pictures) is there on the product page.
