Crocs are praised in some quarters for the fact that they have non-marking soles, reducing the need for floor cleaning. In the Workplace Law Network forum, John Robertson argues in favour of the hygienic qualities of the shoes: “A lot of staff wear his style of shoe because they can go in the washing machine.”
I would've thought a reduced floor cleaning regime is exactly what our hospitals don't need.

Many 'clean work' environments such as operating theatres & research animal houses, where staff are required to change out of their outdoor shoes, have used white clogs for many years. Has anyone got figures for accidents resulting from the wearing of these? I suspect we may have been made aware of such an issue long before now.
At least Croc-type shoes have a strap, unlike clogs, to offer a further point of connection to the foot.
I am not aware whether these clogs are regularly washed - I hope so as has always been a common sight to see theatre staff walking around a hospital in these clogs.
