Hospital and Nursing Clogs

Hospital clogs are professional footwear specially designed for use in medical and healthcare environments. They are characterized by being lightweight, non-slip, ergonomic and, in many cases, autoclavable (can be sterilized). Key features include durable materials such as EVA, non-slip surfaces to prevent falls on wet floors, anatomical design to reduce muscle fatigue during long shifts, waterproofing to protect against fluids, and ease of cleaning. At RAG Tailors, our hospital clogs also offer strapless or strapless options for added stability and several models with adequate ventilation.

Anatomical hospital clogs provide multiple benefits during long shifts for healthcare professionals. The activating insole distributes body weight evenly, significantly reducing pressure on the feet, knees and spine. This results in less muscle fatigue and improved posture. The ergonomic design of RAG Tailors clogs adapts to the natural shape of the foot, offering arch support and preventing problems such as plantar fasciitis and lower back pain. In addition, the lightweight material reduces fatigue, while the non-slip property increases safety on often wet or slippery hospital floors, preventing workplace accidents.

Yes, autoclavable medical clogs are specifically designed to withstand sterilization processes. At RAG Tailors, we offer medical footwear models made from high-quality technical materials such as EVA, which can withstand autoclave temperatures of up to 134°C without deformation or loss of properties. This process effectively eliminates microorganisms, viruses and bacteria, which is crucial for sterile environments such as operating rooms and intensive care units. Our professional autoclavable clogs maintain their structural integrity even after multiple sterilization cycles, ensuring durability and consistent hygiene for professionals in demanding medical environments.

Open and closed hospital clogs differ mainly in foot coverage and their specific applications. Open clogs (with an open back) offer greater ventilation, making them ideal for warmer environments or for professionals who prefer greater freedom of movement. Closed clogs provide additional protection against liquid spills and greater stability during quick movements. At RAG Tailors, we offer both models in lightweight and comfortable hospital footwear, allowing professionals to choose according to their specific needs. Both versions maintain the essential features of anti-slip, ergonomics and ease of cleaning, which are essential for the hospital environment.

Choosing the right size for professional clogs is essential to ensure comfort during long working hours. We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day, when it is slightly wider, and using this measurement as a reference. For anatomical hospital clogs, there should be enough space for your toes to move, but without excessive gaps that compromise stability. At RAG Tailors, we provide a detailed size chart and we recommend that, if you are in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one to avoid compressing your feet during long periods of standing. Remember that the ideal hospital footwear should feel comfortable immediately, without the need for an adaptation period.

At RAG Tailors, we offer a variety of customization options for our hospital clogs, adapting them to the specific needs of each institution or professional. We offer embroidery, printing and screen printing services to add institutional logos, names or specific department identifications. To request these customizations, simply send an email with the references and desired image to obtain a personalized quote. The delivery time for customized professional footwear varies between 10 and 15 business days, while orders without customization are processed within 5 business days. Customization does not compromise the technical properties of the hospital footwear, maintaining all the non-slip and ergonomic characteristics.

To maximize the durability of hospital clogs, we recommend regular cleaning with warm water and mild soap, avoiding aggressive chemicals that could degrade the material. Autoclavable clogs can be sterilized according to hospital protocols, but the maximum temperatures indicated by the manufacturer must be respected. After washing, let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sources of heat that could deform the material. Periodically check the soles for excessive wear on the anti-slip pattern. Hospital footwear should be replaced when it shows signs of structural deterioration, as this can compromise safety and comfort. By following these recommendations, RAG Tailors professional clogs will maintain their technical and anatomical properties for longer.
