I am SO EXCITED!! I just got mine in the mail today!!! I didn’t even know that you recommended them! I’ve been watching you since I accepted my very first position as a Surg tech, two weeks ago 😊. You’ve taught me so much!! You’re AWESOME! Please, don’t stop making videos!
Hi! How are you liking being a surg tech (and the shoes 😊)? I have a couple prereqs to complete starting in January; then I am applying to the program! Super excited and nervous!!
Im wearing the Hoka One One's in the OR now, and love them after wearing Dansko's my entire nursing career (23yrs). As you say though , you need to wear covers to keep them looking decent. Thanks for the review. Could you do a video on Neurosurgery instrument trays as I'd love to share that with my new scrub techs and scrub nurses where I work. Huge fan here.
I wear San Antonio Shoes (SAS) Navigator with their premium insole. They are quite expensive, (around $200) but are very comfortable. I can stand all day and go home without leg fatigue. You can't use the sani-wipes on them, so I use the mop solution we have instead, and have been holding up for 2 years now. Not the most stylish, but they have several options.
Those look pretty cool. I agree with hate wearing shoe covers 😂 I myself have been wearing Calzuro slip-ons for 9 months now and I still love them! They have a perforated and non perforated toe box option. Since I’m a tech I got the non perforated option and it’s super easy to clean and you still get a lot of air in since they are slip-ons.
My Two cents is.....BEWARE OF CLOVE CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES. Something is not right with how this company is treating customers. I cannot speak to a person via phone. There is too much money being spent not to have a person help you when there is a problem. There was a mistake I was sent the wrong shoe size. I was sent a men's shoe I am within the 30 day return exchange. I am trying to correct this and now I am being told the sale is finale so there is nothing they can do. I do not wear men's shoe size. This shoe is not useful to me. Because I bought the shoe on sale I offered to pay any up-charges on a different pair just so I am not out of a shoe and the money I already paid for them. I think this is fair as I did not make this mistake and they would get more money from me plus the men's shoes I cannot use are returned to them. Only I’m being sent in circles with no resolve for a mistake I did not make? I’m being told to email support again. However, no one is calling me to resolve the issue. I emailed support and once again they sent me the same message, they cannot fix the issue stating the sale is final. This is not how you treat customers.
Man I go way back when you had to have shoes that were grounded because of explosive anesthesia gases.When dinosaurs roam the Earth.What ever works for you just make sure they are waterproof and easy to clean. My old chief of surgery in the 1980's wore a full face shield,barn boots and double gloved he was years ahead of himself. My best advice speaking with 50 years of experience where support stockings amen.Stay safe it's a great job that you'll love.Except call.
Currently a student in ST and am just wondering how important it is to know human anatomy and physiology for the future of my program. I currently have a C and am not retaining the information as well as I'd like. Is this something I should be concerned about and see tutoring immediately? Basically I know I'm going to pass the class but am scared about moving forward without this information solid
im wearing vans ultra range rapidweld and I haven't had any problem with them but yet again im just a student still. going finish up this march. thanks dude for all the videos you post it has helped me a lot during this pandemic . I went through all your videos and I didn't see any of you draping the patient for any procedures, that would be awesome to do if you can. thanks bro again.
I know that everyone is not always a fan of Danskos, but they really did save my feet. I tried multiple shoes for years, tennis shoes of all types, crocs, different clogs, and finally went to Danskos and fell in love. I have super high arches and plantar fasciitis. I was getting injections in my feet and going to therapy on a regular basis and was finally able to stop. I have been wearing them for 12 years and I just bought another brand new pair and still love them. You have to find the shoe that is best for your feet, no matter what it is. Try everything and if it doesn't work move on. Also, do not be afraid to spend money on your feet, they are the most important piece of your body, they are your base. Take care of your feet!
Excited to see your review. I was just looking into OR shoes for my clinicals in the Fall and had come across the Clove shoes & were really interested in them.
I would not recommend Clove shoe. I have three pairs from warranty replacements and being on your feet 12 hours it will hurt you. Also if you are going to get them do not wear them brand new out the box to work. Make sure to heavily break them in or you will get blisters on the side of your feet.
Year three as an 1100-2300 CST at a level 5 Trauma hospital in SC. Basic shoe covers don't do shit. Impervious boot covers are for wet scope cases. I've seen clogs, cowboy boots, and boat shoes. Fuck style. You've probably already found a brand and model that works for your feet (not your gym choice, think comfortable tourist shoes). I can say that Nike minimalist runners are still my favorite on the street, but Clouds are my go to at work. Stuck in Stratus now (bit too heavy and too much drop) , but the Xs were perfect. And never feel bad about spending money on a new pair, if you can afford it. They wear out quicker than you think, and you won't recognize it. This is a physical career, and you should think of yourself as a very niche athlete. Much love.
Long ago i use to crossways with a really corky but great surgeon,he always wears -i think its special rubber boots like rain boots only they were white and i think they are fisherman shoes,he always talk about how great it is , extra protection from any fluids and good working be on a your feet for long time...Personally -i use to like Quarks ,but i don't know if they still avalable -i'm retired for almost decade.
Thank you so much for giving a useful review with actual experience with the product and giving your opinion at the beginning! I appreciate that so much- I like the details, but I also hate being strung along forever. This was a really good and helpful review for actual healthcare workers!! Thank you again!!
Maybe if you get leather shoes you need to polish them (not to make them shiny obviously) to keep the leather nourished and the polish will serve has a protective layer. you just need to apply like every 6 months and your leather shoes shouldn't dry out after using any alcohol based wipes.
I had them when I started nursing school but when I started working in the OR, I found that these only lasted 4-6 months before my feet started hurting all the time
hello, i had a couple questions for you since i’m still trying to figure my life out if that was okay. see my only option for a career might just be a surgical tech and i feel like i needed some guidance.. thank you so much in advanced (:
Nice video Shane. Right now I’m wearing, oddly enough, a pair of high top snow sneakers that bought from LL Bean before I left Georgia. Even though they are meant to keep your feet warm in wintery condition, they are not too hot in warmer climates. They are super comfortable even after being in the OR all day. Dansko’s I hate. They don’t fit my feet properly. They feel like they’re going to fall off so I end up walking funny. As much as I love my snow sneakers, I’m always looking for new or different. I think I might give the Cloves a try as I really like the super grippy feature. That’s a big selling point for me. You mentioned slippery floors during room turnover and I know about that all too well.
As a Dansko and Birkenstock wearer (I alternate every other day), I want to ask you how it feels to stand in these all day. Walking on the floors and having a great grip (with a squeak) is great an dI don't care how they sound- I just want to know about the foot fatigue. Thoughts?
Your really the best I’ve actually started taking notes for when I get out on my own from your videos bc I see some Preceptors do things totally backwards like Counting wise fasho omggggg and it drives me insane !!! Keep up the group work and the videos!!!!!

I am actually looking for OR shoes and saw Hoka has the Bondi SR which is waterproof!
I start school soon to be a surgical tech and you my friend are my teacher/tutor until then! Thank you brother
you are going to do great 😊
I started but online only and I don't like it but these videos helped so much ! You got this!!
Shoes for O.R. is the bane of my existing. The most expensive i have bought is $150 Berkinstock professional ( they suck). I will have to try these.

Nice video man 👍 I’m not a surg tech yet, but I’ll definitely have to cop a pair when the time comes
I love my Clove shoes so much! Easy to wipe off and waterproof. I have two pairs now for the OR

Wow great comment. Very helpful. I feet hurting for years. I’ll give dansco a try
Excited to see your review. I was just looking into OR shoes for my clinicals in the Fall and had come across the Clove shoes & were really interested in them.
me too...I start clinicals in the fall or Surg Tech!...I needed this video
Thank you!!! Doing clinical’s and Hoka Ones is not working for me

You are amazing guy and I love you video be safe 😊
What kind of socks do you wear ?
Thank you so much for doing this review! I’ve been holding out in buying!

Hi I work often in arthoscopies, I was wondering to what extent these are water proof. (Usually there is a pool of water at the end of the case)
Long ago i use to crossways with a really corky but great surgeon,he always wears -i think its special rubber boots like rain boots only they were white and i think they are fisherman shoes,he always talk about how great it is , extra protection from any fluids and good working be on a your feet for long time...Personally -i use to like Quarks ,but i don't know if they still avalable -i'm retired for almost decade.

Hi
From which website do you download free stock images on hospital, medical devices, O.R ?
Can you suggest any specific photographer name or website?
I’m so glad they changed the bottom to stop squeaking ..that drove me crazy! Love my Cloves
I wear asics. they are SUPER comfortable. they have gel inside of them. but they aren’t easy to clean because they’re mesh. ugh.
I loved your review and Nice tips! Keep doing You! You Rock the OR! Tfs 😘🌻
Maybe if you get leather shoes you need to polish them (not to make them shiny obviously) to keep the leather nourished and the polish will serve has a protective layer. you just need to apply like every 6 months and your leather shoes shouldn't dry out after using any alcohol based wipes.
Hi where i can get.or online i can get please send links
Or which country I can get
I had them when I started nursing school but when I started working in the OR, I found that these only lasted 4-6 months before my feet started hurting all the time
Agreed, I work a lot of 12’s and they didn’t last long till my feet started hurting. Love the waterproof feature though

It was a while

Where did the gray hairs come from?! Has it been that long since I watched a video from you?
One 💘
❤
Only thing... they have perforation on the side...
Hi
I have a question
Is your channel monetized?
Have you heard of Surg Techs getting into Med School?!
I love my cloves!
Wow! Just as I was looking for some OR shoes for SGT school! thank you!!!
I know this is off topic but what is a good school to become a surgical tech??
unfortunately they don't ship it internationally :(
Thank you!! I just got these for clinicals starting in January!
What font do you use in your thumbnails?
You'd never be able to sneak up on anyone....
Oh man! These look nice but I am not a fan of squeaky shoes.
You said it's not a dealbreaker for you, but for me it actually is. I can't stand being that person with the squeaky shoes. No offense.
After a long time,💞 finally 🎉🎊
I use Hoka
GO KNIGHTS GO!
Heeeyyy good to see a new vid. I love the channel. Keep on keeping on.
Perfect timing Shane!
R they expensive
I felt like they were. Took me a bit to bite the $130 price tag
I guess I need to prioritize cuz if u start having back pain during a long surgery cuz u don't have the right shoes on then ur screwed
U need it for work its like buying an expensive briefcase for a lawyer
want more videos
For long cases, do you wear support hose for foot and leg relief?
Also was wondering if these are slip proof?
Slip proof and water proof.
@@SurgicalTechTips what is different between first assist and a normal surgical tech
Happy crimbo Shane🥂🍺🍹 could never use clogs they are worse than horse feet clip clop people will always hear u walking 😂
Your really the best I’ve actually started taking notes for when I get out on my own from your videos bc I see some Preceptors do things totally backwards like Counting wise fasho omggggg and it drives me insane !!!
Keep up the group work and the videos!!!!!
