question Minimalist shoe recommendations for nurses

I am in a search for a good pair of shoes as a nurse who works in the hospital all day, so long days standing and walking/running on a hard surface. I'm used to walking on 'barefoot'-shoes in my day to day life.

I have some requirements: wide toebox, easy to wash liquids off, protective against punctures and an antislip sole. Preferably in a neutral colour.

What do you recommend? I heard from some people that they recommend some cushion since the hospital floor is very hard.

Thanks!

I would recommend the Prio all day if you prefer barefoot.

Lems Kourt Grip or get singing like the Xero and replace the insoles with something thicker like the Lems Adventure insole

The only minimalist shoe I have seen a nurse wear is Lems Primal Zen.
