Surgery is a physically demanding profession that requires precision, focus, and endurance. Surgeons spend hours standing in the operating room, performing intricate procedures that demand unwavering attention. While hands and eyes are the stars of the show, feet play a critical role in supporting long hours of work. That’s why choosing the right footwear isn’t just about comfort—it’s about performance, safety, and overall well-being.
The Demands of the Operating Room

Surgeons and OR staff often work shifts that extend well beyond eight hours, with little opportunity to sit down. The combination of prolonged standing, high-stakes decision-making, and the necessity for quick, stable movement means that supportive footwear is a must. The wrong shoes can lead to fatigue, joint pain, and even long-term musculoskeletal issues.
Why Calzuro Clogs Are the Ideal OR Shoes
For those spending long hours in the operating room, Calzuro clogs provide the perfect combination of comfort and performance. Designed with superior arch sup
port and pressure relief, they help surgeons and medical professionals stay on their feet with ease. Many OR professionals swear by them, calling them the best OR shoes they’ve ever worn.
"I'm a surgeon who stands for long periods of time in the operating room. These shoes have been wonderful for my feet and my back! I've had the same pair since 2020 and they're doing great—only replaced the insoles one time so far. Really tempting to buy another pair in one of the other colors!" shared Tiffanie L.
Comfort is essential, but stability is just as critical. With slip-resistant soles, Calzuro clogs provide the traction needed to navigate fast-paced OR settings safely. Cari E., a dedicated OR professional, explained, "I never had any issues with sliding and losing traction." The secure fit ensures no loose laces or unnecessary distractions, keeping surgeons focused on what truly matters—patient care.
Hygiene is another key factor in the OR, and Calzuro clogs make it easy. Made from sterilizable materials, they can withstand autoclave temperatures up to 257°F or be quickly washed in a machine. "They clean super easily with wipes or in the washing machine," Cari E. noted, highlighting their convenience for maintaining sterile conditions. Their lightweight and durable design ensures they hold up for years, making them a long-term investment in comfort.
"Best shoes for standing all day, hands down! I’ve been wearing these in the OR for

years and the only thing I change when I wear a pair out is the color," said another satisfied reviewer. With a variety of colors available, Calzuro clogs add a touch of personality to a professional setting while delivering unmatched support.
Stay Focused, Stay Supported
The right footwear can make a significant difference in how you feel during and after your shifts. Surgeons dedicate their lives to precision and patient care—shouldn’t their shoes be just as supportive? Calzuro clogs ensure that discomfort doesn’t get in the way of performance, so you can focus on saving lives, one step at a time.
