The Best Shoes for Nurses and Key Workers
Posted by Pavers Blog Team on
In the throes of last year, we launched a competition to celebrate some of the nation’s heroes by asking you to nominate NHS staff and super star Key Workers that have gone above and beyond to keep us all safe and supported through the uncertainties of the past year.
We saw hundreds upon hundreds of nominations for the inspiring individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary strength and kindness in the face of such uncertainty, from NHS staff to Supermarket Staff, Delivery Drivers and Posties, to Care Assistants, and Nurses to name just a few.
It’s hard to express the immense gratitude that we all feel towards those who are working on the front line and the sacrifices and risks they are taking to keep us safe. We gifted the winners with the best thing we could think of - a pair of shoes to wear as they work, although a small token of appreciation, we knew that our shoes would be kind and comfortable to some of Britain’s busiest feet.
Recently we caught up with our hero winners, to see how they were and what they have been up to over the last few months. Say hello to Karen, Jamie, Cassy, and Emma, who have tried, tested, and loved their winning shoes!
Emma, Paediatric Nurse
“As a Paediatric Nurse working 12-hour shifts, I’m on my feet for most of the day. Thanks to Pavers and my lovely shoes, sore feet is something I never have to worry about, I can focus completely on helping my little patients feel better and smile.”
Jamie, Hospital Porter
“As a Hospital Porter I can be on my feet for most of the day, pushing trolleys, delivering mail, transferring patients, it’s a long list of tasks so getting the balance of both safety and comfort can help get me through the day. If my feet are happy, I’m happy!”
Cassy, Senior Care Assistant
“As a Senior Care Assistant, I can be on my feet for 12 hours a day, which can be tough going! So, I need shoes that not only feel comfortable, but will be safe too, the last thing I need to do is slip when assisting someone in the shower. I love a pair with elastic in them because as the day goes on my feet swell but the shoes remain comfortable!”
Karen, Checkout Team Support at Tesco
“As a Checkout Team Support Member at Tesco’s, I need comfy footwear as I can do up to 15 thousand steps per shift! Pavers work well for me as they are stylish and comfy shoes rolled into one.”
