Is there anything better than getting a great new pair of shoes? I think not. Finding that perfect pair of shoes makes me feel like I'm on top of the world, especially when I get random compliments from people. It's the best! And I know I'm not alone. People go crazy for shoes. They write songs about them. They build entire closets devoted to them. They attack each other to get that last pair on the shelf. Ok, maybe that doesn't actually happen in real life, but it does in my imagination. (And it WILL happen in real life if anyone tries to come between me and a pair of shoes; mark my words.) The point is, shoes are SO AWESOME. But we don't always get to wear the shoes we want. Many professions require employees to wear certain types of shoes, usually for safety reasons. Slip-resistant shoes are required by many employers, including restaurants, hospitals, and warehouses. If you are a shoe lover and you're required to wear slip-resistant shoes, don't despair! There are some styles out there that combine form and function. Here are 5 of my favorites.

Mary Jane by Genuine Grip: I'm sure you didn't believe that I could actually find a decent-looking, slip-resistant shoe. Well, ye of little faith, behold! The Mary Jane from Genuine Grip. Ok, this shoe is not for everyone, because some women prefer flats. But some women absolutely have to have a little heel, because it's what they're used to, they like the lift, or they actually find heels more comfortable than flats. These shoes are super sweet and adorable, and they have the perfect amount of heel. And they're slip-resistant! They're made by Genuine Grip, which has probably the best slip-resistance technology for oily and/or wet environments (e.g. restaurants).

Kate by Dansko: I must have a thing for semi-exposed feet because here's another pair of Mary Janes. I can't help it! They're so sweet. But these Mary Janes by Dansko have stitching and distressing that make them a little more rugged and earthy than the Genuine Grip Mary Janes. And they're sporty. These are the kind of shoes you could wear while running around at work, and then come home and walk the dog, and you'd look cute the whole entire time. These are slip-resistant, and they're also super lightweight.

Florence by Spring Step Pro: Some nurses are required to wear white uniforms, and these slip-ons by Spring Step Pro are white hot! They feature a high quality full-grain leather upper, and they kind of remind me of cute, white cowboy (or cowgirl!) boots. They are studded and accented with floral stitching, making them a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. They are slip-resistant and they also feature a fast-drying, moisture-wicking, antibacterial lining.

Sierra by Klogs: I actually have a pair of shoes that looks exactly like these, and I wear them all the time. I know I said I love new shoes, and I do, but I always come back to this style because it's just perfect. It can be dressed up or down. It's not too fancy or fussy but it's still sharp. And it's just so sleek. So many men's shoes are unnecessarily bulky, but not these. I actually might have to swap mine out for a pair of these Klogs, because they are slip-resistant and mine aren't. And they're waterproof! Ugh, I'm having serious shoe envy.

| Bryar by Nurse Mates: You are going to be moving as swiftly as a leopard in these comfy slip-ons from Nurse Mates, which is good, because you're going to have throngs of nurses chasing after you, trying to steal your hot kicks. The combination of patent leather and leopard print is so fun, and it's the perfect amount of style to jazz up your look without being tacky. These shoes are slip-resistant and they're also really easy to clean. |
