What Stands Between You and a Long Surgery? The Right Pair of Shoes.

Calzuro clogs for long surgery and 12 hour shifts

Why Calzuro Classics Are a Staple in Every Operating Room

From seasoned surgeons to first-year residents, Calzuro’s Classic clogs have earned their status as a go-to shoe in healthcare—and it’s not just about the style.

Here’s what makes them unbeatable in the OR:

  • Ergonomic Support: Designed to reduce fatigue even after hours of standing on hard floors.
  • Autoclavable & Washable: Infection control is non-negotiable—these shoes clean up easily and meet surgical standards.
  • Breathability Options: Prefer airflow? Go for the Classic with holes. Need more coverage in sterile settings? The Classic without holes has you (and your socks) protected.
  • Slip-Resistant Soles: Because your footing should be the last thing you worry about during a procedure.

They’re practical, yes—but also come in a wide range of colors, allowing you to bring some personality to your scrubs without sacrificing professionalism.

Rebel with a Cause: Style Meets Stamina

Want to bring a little edge to your day-to-day rotation without compromising on performance? Enter the Calzuro Rebel.

These aren't just statement shoes—they’re engineered for professionals who spend hours on their feet. The Rebel brings the same trusted Calzuro support, with a sleek, modern design for those who like their footwear with a bit of flair.

Why the Rebel holds up in surgery:

  • All-Day Cushioning: Along with the free pair of high-performance insoles that come with your pair of rebels, the shock-absorbing soles also help reduce foot fatigue, even during marathon procedures.
  • Secure Fit: The contoured design and snug-yet-flexible upper keep your foot supported, minimizing shifting or sliding. With our patented T-CLOSE® rear strap adjustment system, this clog-style shoe can fit a variety of foot types and sizes.
  • Breathable Design: Keeps your feet cool under pressure without compromising the structure you need in sterile environments.
  • Easy to Clean: Built for healthcare, the materials are easy to wipe down or disinfect between shifts.

The Lights: Featherweight Champions for Heavy-Duty Shifts

If you're moving nonstop—from the OR to post-op, from consults to catch-ups—the Calzuro Lights are your best ally for long-haul comfort. Designed for performance without the bulk, they bring together athletic-inspired styling and professional-grade function.

Why the Lights shine in the OR:

  • Ultralight Construction: The Lights are the lightest clog in the Calzuro lineup so every step feels easier, even hours into a surgery.
  • Ergonomic Footbed: Delivers arch support and promotes proper alignment to reduce strain on your knees, hips, and back.
  • Slip-Resistant Soles: Keep you steady on slick OR floors, giving you one less thing to worry about.
  • Flexible Yet Supportive Design: Moves with your foot while still maintaining the structure needed for serious work.

And let’s talk about that strap.

The adjustable back strap on the Calzuro Lights provides a secure, stay-put fit—essential when you're in motion or shifting weight during long procedures. It keeps your heel comfortably locked in, so there's no slipping, no rubbing, and no distractions.

Shoes That Go the Distance (Just Like You)

Surgeons, nurses, techs, and beyond—your work demands precision, endurance, and presence. The right pair of shoes can be the silent partner that helps you show up at your best, day after day, case after case.

Whether you’re loyal to the tried-and-true Classic, bold enough for the Rebel, or constantly in motion with the Lights—Calzuro has your back (and your feet).

Because what stands between you and a long surgery? The right pair of shoes.
