The average health care worker spends more than five hours of their workday standing. The Clove sneaker ($129), created specifically for those who tend to patients, provides some much needed foot therapy for doctors, nurses and more. Thick EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam midsoles offer an extra layer of comfort and stability. The shoes are wrapped in Japanese Clarino artificial leather, making them easy to clean and fluid-resistant so they’re less susceptible to damage from exposure to hospital chemicals (or bodily fluids) that may deteriorate lesser sneakers. Thanks to high-rebound, supportive and machine-washable insoles, the sneakers fight odors and prevent bacteria buildup too. —Jenna Caldwell
