Yes. The AllDays feature a certified slip-resistant deep-lug tread that is tested and rated for traction on wet, oily, and slick surfaces matching the exact conditions you encounter on hospital floors, surgical suites, and busy care units. The deep-lug rubber outsole is the same Sloggers signature tread design the brand has refined across more than 75 years of waterproof footwear engineering, now optimized for clinical and food-service environments.

Most work shoes marketed to nurses carry soft rubber outsoles that compress and lose grip over time. Sloggers' tread geometry is engineered to channel liquid away from the contact surface, maintaining grip even mid-shift when floors are at their most hazardous. For nurses, CNAs, surgical techs, and ER staff who need to move fast without thinking about footing, that certification is not a marketing checkbox. It is the baseline the AllDays is built around.

The AllDays were built specifically for this problem. The "All-Day Comfort" premium insole delivers 3x the cushioning of standard work shoes, with active arch support engineered to reduce the strain that builds up in your feet, knees, and lower back across a full 12-plus-hour shift. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common complaints among nursing professionals precisely because standard footwear flattens and fails to support the arch under thousands of steps of repeated impact. The AllDays insole is designed to counter that.

Sloggers has been engineering its signature "All-Day Comfort" insole system since the early 2000s, iterating directly from customer feedback, a process baked into the brand since its founding in 1948. The AllDays takes that legacy insole platform and pushes it further with a premium cushion stack and active arch geometry that works from your first step at clock-in to your last step walking out.

If you are already managing plantar fasciitis or chronic heel pain, Sloggers also offers a Half-Sizer insole add-on that can be layered under the existing insole for additional volume and support, particularly helpful for nurses with narrow feet or high arches who need a more customized fit.

The AllDays are constructed from plastic resin with a rubber outsole, a fully non-porous shell that does not absorb fluids. After a shift, you can wipe the upper down with a disinfectant cloth, rinse it under a faucet, or hose it off completely. There is no fabric, mesh, or stitching to trap pathogens or retain moisture. This is a meaningful distinction from the athletic-style mesh sneakers many nurses wear, which can harbor contaminants in the fabric weave even after washing.

The cleaning process takes under a minute: wipe or rinse the upper, pull the insole out, and let both air dry. The insole is removable specifically to ensure the interior of the shoe can dry fully between shifts, a common problem with enclosed sneaker designs that stay damp for hours and create conditions for odor and bacterial growth. For nurses running back-to-back shifts, this makes the AllDays a genuinely low-maintenance option compared to fabric work shoes that require machine washing and extended drying time.

Sloggers has been refining waterproof and easy-clean footwear since the 1940s, starting with the Drizzle Boot and evolving through decades of outdoor and now clinical applications. That materials heritage is what makes the AllDays clean-up protocol so simple. The shoe was designed from the material up to be wiped off, not scrubbed out.

They are absolutely 100% waterproof! The AllDays have a solid plastic resin shell with no perforations, vents, or fabric panels. Spills, liquid splashes, and floor fluids do not penetrate the shoe. This is not a water-resistant coating that wears off after a few months. It is structural waterproofing inherent to the material itself, the same approach Sloggers has used across its entire footwear line since 1948.

For nurses and healthcare workers, this matters in two distinct ways. First, it protects your feet in real time when fluids hit the floor, a common scenario in trauma bays, operating rooms, and ICUs. Second, it makes the shoe simpler to decontaminate at the end of a shift, which is important for anyone serious about not tracking clinical environment pathogens home.

The waterproofing also extends the functional life of the shoe. Fabric and mesh sneakers that absorb moisture daily break down faster at the seams, padding, and structure. The AllDays shell does not degrade the way porous materials do, meaning the shoe holds its protective qualities shift after shift without the performance degradation you see in athletic footwear repurposed for clinical use.

he AllDays is a slip-on shoe that runs true to size in medium width. If you have wide feet or a high arch, Sloggers recommends sizing up half a size from your standard US size. The wide opening makes it easy to get in and out, a meaningful feature at the end of a long shift when your feet have swollen, and the slip-on design means no lace adjustments mid-shift.
