12 Nurse-Loved Sneaker Deals During Amazon Prime Day

Shoppers, start your engines—because Amazon Prime Day is finally upon us. It may surprise no one to learn that my favorite category on sale during this two-day sale event is fashion—although that may change when I tell you an even more niche category I’m eyeing, which is nurse-loved sneakers.

I’m not a nurse, but I do have multiple reasons for my curiosity about the sneakers they love most. I once worked as a copywriter for a scrubs brand, so I learned a lot about which shoes are the most comfortable for tiring shifts, and I have a lot of nurse friends. Plus, my long journey to find the best supportive shoes after an unfortunate ankle break means I’m always curious about the styles that nurses say stand the test of time and thousands of steps. I sifted through the thousands of sale items and rounded up a handful of shopper-favorite styles, from brands like Brooks, New Balance, Crocs and Reebok. Below, discover the 12 best Prime Day deals on nurse-loved sneakers to shop now, starting at just $35.
