The Work Shoes Nurses Deserve
Let’s be real—nursing means being on your feet a lot. Whether you’re dodging call lights, hustling through double shifts, or logging 12+ hours with no time for a real break, your feet take a serious beating. That’s where Hawkwell comes in.
Made for Nurses, by People Who Get It
Hawkwell is a footwear brand that’s actually paying attention to what healthcare workers need. They’re not just tossing sneakers into the “medical shoes” category—they’ve designed shoes that keep up with the realities of life on the floor. Think: long shifts, quick turns, spills, sprints to codes, and yes, those mystery fluids we pretend not to notice.
The company’s whole vibe? “Blissful Steps, Endless Support”—and honestly, that’s not just a slogan. Nurses have reported real-deal comfort after switching to Hawkwell, and their styles go from hospital hallway to post-shift Target run without skipping a beat.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
- Support that lasts all shift – Whether you’re in the ICU or on med-surg, your back and arches will thank you.
- Slip-resistant and easy to clean – Spills are part of the job, but slipping doesn’t have to be.
- Styles you’ll actually want to wear – Clean white, professional black, or sporty styles from their Cloud Zero Active series for off-duty errands or gym sessions.
- Made for movement – Lightweight design means you’re not dragging your feet halfway through your shift (even if you’re mentally done).
“We believe those who care for others deserve the very best in footwear,” says a Hawkwell spokesperson. “Every pair is crafted to provide ‘blissful steps’ through advanced cushioning, arch support, and breathability, so healthcare professionals can focus on what truly matters—their patients.”
Why Nurses Love Hawkwell Shoes – Reviews
At the heart of it, Hawkwell knows nurses need more than just a decent shoe—we need gear that works as hard as we do. They get that our jobs are physically demanding and emotionally draining—and a comfortable pair of shoes can actually make a difference in how we show up for our patients.
Nurse.org asked nurses to wear and review the shoes, they rated the shoes highly! Read the full review here.
- “They were super comfortable and very easy to put on. They had a good grip on them, and they were also easy to clean when dirty! They are not only stylish but also offer the support we need for long hours of standing and walking. My feet felt great after each shift! I have worn one of these pairs each day since I received them in the mail and have already recommended them to my coworkers. Very easy to clean! One of the things I loved most.” – Nalina Mendez, BSN, RN
- “Hawkwell’s Cloud Zero Active shoes are very stylish and comfortable. I would highly recommend them to my nursing colleagues.” – Rebeca Leon, MSN, RN
- “These shoes have a wider toe box with plenty of room, making them super comfortable. I was able to stand for my entire shift and move quickly without any discomfort. The arch support makes a huge difference when you’re on your feet all day. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to clean — a quick wipe and they look good as new. They’re also very affordable, especially for non-slip, sharps-resistant work shoes. I absolutely love them!” – Brian Benji, BSN, RN
