Teachers share the best shoe styles that help them get through long days at school |
|
|
There's plenty we can learn from teachers outside of math, science, and English. Take, for example, their shoes! Given that they're on their feet all day, teachers have some serious footwear recommendations. So, we spoke to teachers and a podiatrist to get a lesson on the most comfortable kicks on the market. Plus, read on for our picks from Nordstrom's fall fashion sale. |

| "In our day at school, comfort is a must," says Jude Bender, a preschool special education teacher's assistant for nearly three decades. "We mostly wear sneakers!" This versatile pair ups the personality (and your height) with a two-inch platform that still manages not to sacrifice comfort. |

"Running or athletic shoes are some of the best options, as they support your feet and make it comfortable to stand all day long in them," says elementary school teacher Kaleb Donels. This pair features a suede material and midsole foam with a wide toe box to help keep you on your feet for hours. |

| According to Bender, "a full coverage in the back [of the shoe] is preferred at my school. Sandals are a safety hazard." This high-top pair protects your ankles while featuring a side zipper for easy wear. |

For those with plantar fasciitis, board-certified podiatrist Jacqueline Sutera recommends choosing a shoe with "arch support, cushioning and a thicker, shock-absorbing sole." This pair from Dr. Scholl's offers "anatomical cushioning" for all-day comfort, according to the brand. |

| These canvas kicks resemble boat shoes and add a preppy touch to any ensemble. Best of yet, they're washable, according to one teacher on TikTok! |
|
|
"Wearing slippers and shoes that are supportive and cushioned will provide shock absorption and protect the foot and body," says Sutera. These feminine flats feature a classic look that conceals a seven-layer sole for support. |
