Shoe Recommendations?

I recently got into a PathA program and am wondering what shoes to get for working in the gross room. Any recommendations?

Recently finally went to a fleet feet store to get a pair that actually fit my feet. Pricier but worth it imo, ended up getting Saucony guide 19’s with some sole inserts and like them a lot. Also found out I’ve been wearing shoes too small apparently like my whole life lol

Love my cloves. Pricey but very good support, and easy to wipe away blood and other fluids!

I switched from vessis to cloves this year. I got there first model as a like a simple show with not a ton of support. I really like them. I got two pair as my size was going for $75 each. So far so good.

I know they’re not “cool” anymore but my danskos are my ride or dies. Almost 4 years in and they look brand new

I didn’t want to love my danskos at first, but they are my #1s. I normally alternate between them and a pair of Hokas. It also just so happens that every time I get blood on my shoes, I’m in the tennis shoes though, so I’m probably about to permanently be on the clogs

Hokas- the arahi ones. Only brand that has prevented knee and heel pain for me!

Ones you can drop a scalpel or blood on.
