Italian brand Calzuro’s clogs were designed for medical professionals, but anyone who spends a lot of their time on their feet will appreciate them. They come in bright colors, have slip-resistant soles, and are made entirely of rubber, which means they’re a breeze to rinse off. One Amazon reviewer wrote: “I have been wearing Calzuro since they began making them—I work in the operating room and need something supportive, comfortable and washable. These things are pretty indestructible, and can be run through a washer sterilizer if you really get them soiled. They are quiet—no clomping or squeaking when you walk. And they come in great colors!”
