These 13 Comfy-Yet-Stylish Shoes Are Perfect For Healthcare Workers On Their Feet All Day
@ugg

Now more than ever, we are all incredibly thankful for our healthcare workers, and really everyone who is on the front lines of taking care of our neighbors and loved ones during this time. I don't happen to be an "essential worker," but when I talk to my friends who are nurses and doctors, the number-one complaint I get from them has been surprising to me: they can't stop complaining about how badly their feet hurt from running around all day and night. Honestly, I don't blame them.

They all asked me for recommendations on the best footwear, followed by the complaint that anything comfortable tends to look extremely plain and, to be frank, ugly. And because none of our heroes have a minute of time to be scouring the internet for the comfiest, most stylish ways to cover their feet, this list is for them.

Send them a pair (or two) and they're bound to be grateful — we won't judge if you're tempted to get yourself a matching set, too.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
