Opt for Comfortable & Stylish Medical Clogs!

In the medical field, choosing the right medical footwear is essential for the comfort and safety of healthcare personnel. A comfortable and well-fitted professional medical clog enables professionals to focus on their duties throughout the day without being hindered by foot pain.

Why is the Medical Clog Essential?

The medical clog is a shoe specifically designed for healthcare professionals. Primarily used in hospitals, clinics, or medical offices, it meets specific criteria for comfort, hygiene, and safety. Wearing appropriate clogs reduces fatigue, improves hygiene, and protects against accident risks. Choosing the right orthopedic clog is therefore indispensable for working with ease throughout the day.

What is a Medical Clog?

A medical clog , often referred to as a medical croc or orthopedic clog, differs from conventional shoes in its design and materials. Generally available in open or closed styles, it features an ergonomic non-slip sole that offers stability and comfort during long hours of standing. Medical clogs are often made from materials that are easy to clean, such as leather, resin, or EVA, thereby ensuring improved hygiene.

Brief History of the Medical Clog

Historically, medical clogs were made of wood. Today, they have evolved into softer and lighter materials. This evolution has provided greater comfort for healthcare professionals while enhancing safety and hygiene in hospital environments.

Why Use a High-Quality Medical Clog?

Comfort and Ergonomics

  • Reduces Fatigue: Its ergonomic design supports the foot and minimizes pain during long workdays.
  • Non-Slip Sole: Prevents falls, especially on slippery floors.

Hygiene and Ease of Maintenance

  • Easy to Clean: Made from materials that can be washed or disinfected regularly. Work clogs are generally machine-washable.
  • Prevents Infections: Reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections by limiting the proliferation of bacteria.

Optimal Safety

  • Perfect Grip: Provides protection against slips and frequent falls in wet environments. Work or safety clogs help reduce accidents.
  • Enhanced Protection: Shields the foot from heavy objects or splashes of liquids.

How to Choose the Right Medical Clog?

When selecting one, it is important that the model is non-slip. Comfort and hygiene are also essential.

The Material

Professional leather clogs are comfortable and breathable, but more delicate to clean. Resin and EVA offer better resistance to disinfectants and facilitate daily maintenance.

The Shape

The shape must meet the demands of the profession. Models with a wide, rounded toe are perfectly suited for staff working in clinics or hospitals. They provide optimal comfort, do not put pressure on the toes, and reduce the risk of calluses.

The Sole

Opt for an orthopedic sole with good arch support. This protects flat feet and evenly distributes weight, thereby reducing fatigue.
The sole should be thin, between 1 and 3 cm, slightly elevating the foot to reduce pressure on muscles and tendons.
A flexible PU (polyurethane) sole helps absorb shocks. Protective inserts offer additional support and enhance comfort.

The Color

The professional medical clog is often produced in light colors such as white, beige, or light gray. With these colors, dirt is immediately visible, making it easier to maintain hygiene.

Standards and Certifications

It is important to choose professional clogs/crocs that comply with the ISO 20347 standards. These standards specify the fundamental and additional requirements for work shoes used in a professional setting.

What Models of Medical Clogs Are Offered?

To meet the specific needs of each healthcare professional, Placemed offers several models:

With Perforations

Perforated medical clogs are both stylish and practical. Their perforations provide enhanced foot ventilation, reducing sweating and discomfort. They are generally equipped with adjustable straps and anatomical soles, allowing for a customized fit and excellent arch support.

Without Perforations

Generally made of EVA, non-perforated medical clogs are molded in one piece. They are robust and easy to clean, making them perfect for healthcare personnel working in environments where hygiene is essential. Their non-slip sole ensures excellent grip on wet or slippery floors.

Autoclavable

To guarantee impeccable hygiene, a surgical block clog is designed to be sterilized. This medical clog withstands high temperatures without deforming or losing its properties. A professional medical clog must be suitable for environments requiring strict hygiene, such as operating rooms.

Antistatic

In some hospitals, where electronic equipment is sensitive to electrostatic charges, wearing an antistatic clog is essential. The antistatic medical clog dissipates accumulated electrical charges, ensuring the safety of both healthcare personnel and patients.

Open or Closed Clog

Closed clogs offer better foot protection, making them useful in areas exposed to risks (operating rooms, laboratories). Open clogs, on the other hand, provide better ventilation for the feet, making them suitable for drier environments.
