| Discounted Medical Scrubs |
I just got a job at an ophthalmology center as a perimetry technician assistant and the uniform is scrubs, as is expected. This is my first job in a medical setting and I was wondering if it was inappropriate to wear my Vans slip-ons. I really hate regular tennis shoes and was looking for a way around them.

Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt unless there is something specific in your dress code (which I doubt there is). I have had dealings in the medical field for years (both as a patient and as an employee). I have yet to see a job that expects scrubs not find Vans type sneakers acceptable.
As for Vans being a good choice, I have to leave that to you. Some at work might question it as there isn’t a lot of support in your typical slip-on Vans. But for me this is personal choice as long as it doesn’t interfere with your performance (e.g. you get tired too quickly).
NOTE: I encourage people to aways wear several shoes each week. Each pair needs a chance to air out and the insole a chance to return to their original form.
You might consider having two Vans slip-on and one sneaker with more support.
On a personal note: I’m glad to meet another slip-on fan. I love Vans, Men’s Keds, Sperry Top Sider, etc Have fun!

Def. I used to wear etnies with my scrubs all the time. As long as they are white, I think most places in the medical field make you wear white shoes.
