Orbit: The Best Shoe for Nurses on the Move
Mary Taylor
As healthcare professionals, nurses are the backbone of our medical system, tirelessly working long shifts to provide care and comfort to those in need. At Snibbs, we understand the demands of workers, and we've designed the Orbit with nurses in mind. Let's explore why the Orbit is the perfect companion for those dedicated individuals who spend their days on their feet, making a difference in patients' lives.
7 Reasons Snibbs Outperform the Competition
The Orbit isn't just a shoe; it's a testament to our commitment to supporting healthcare heroes. Here's why nurses are choosing Orbit for their on-the-go lifestyle:
- Ultra-Breathable Premium Knit Upper: Long shifts can lead to hot, uncomfortable feet. The Orbit's breathable upper ensures your feet stay cool and dry throughout your workday.
- Stratus-EVA Midsole: Our innovative midsole is designed for movement, providing high energy return with every step. This means less fatigue, even after hours on your feet.
- Lightweight Design: When you're constantly on the move, every ounce of added weight matters. The Orbit's lightweight construction reduces strain on your feet and legs.
- Certified Non-Slip Rubber Soles: Hospital floors can be unpredictable. Snibbs utilizes a tried and tested slip-resistant outsole, certified by the industry standard ASTM F2913 and the Brungraber Mark II Test to showcase superior slip resistance and grip on wet floors.
- Flexibility: The Orbit flexes with your foot, allowing for natural movement as you bend, stretch, and pivot throughout your shift.
- Slip-On Design with Adjustable Bungee Laces: Easy on, easy off. The slip-on design with bungee laces allows for quick adjustments, perfect for those moments when every second counts.
- Long-lasting Stability: A rigid heel counter provides crucial support and stabilization, reducing foot fatigue during those long hours.
Style Meets Substance
We believe that functional footwear doesn't have to sacrifice style. The Orbit comes in classic colors like black, white, and nebula blue, perfect for matching any scrubs. But we didn't stop there. For nurses who want to express their personalities, we offer eye-catching colorways, including our special edition collaboration with Anna The Nurse.
Anna, a labor and delivery nurse, chose the Orbit as her go-to shoe both on and off the clock. Our collaboration resulted in a vibrant design featuring peonies, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. As Anna puts it,
“The Orbit is my favorite Snibbs shoe because they are incredibly lightweight, which is essential for me since I’m on my feet and constantly moving all day at work. They provide excellent energy return, making them perfect for walking long distances, moving quickly, and offering support throughout the day. The design features some of my favorite colors and bloomed peony flowers, symbolizing growth in all aspects of life. I also wanted to stay true to my style, which is fun, cute, and elegant. This allows the shoe to be versatile enough to wear both at work and out on the town.”
This special edition Orbit embodies the spirit of nursing - resilient, beautiful, and always growing. It's a shoe that stands up to the demands of the job while looking stylish enough to wear everywhere.
Comfort for You, Kindness for the Planet
At Snibbs, we're not just committed to your comfort; we're also dedicated to environmental sustainability. Traditional footwear foams can take 300 to 1,000 years to biodegrade. That's why we've partnered with Midori-Bio to use an organic additive in our materials. This means our footwear biodegrades in years rather than centuries.
We're proud to say that our shoes are made from nearly 100% recycled materials. By choosing Orbit, you're not just taking care of your feet; you're also taking a step towards a more sustainable future.
More Than Just a Pretty Shoe
The Orbit is more than just a comfortable, stylish shoe. It's a reflection of our values at Snibbs - our respect for the hardworking individuals in healthcare, our commitment to quality and comfort, and our dedication to sustainability.
We understand that as a nurse, you give so much of yourself to create positive experiences for others. That's why we've created the Orbit - to support you as you support others. With Orbit, you can focus on what truly matters - providing exceptional care to your patients.
At Snibbs, we believe that those who stand up for others deserve to stand comfortably themselves. Step into comfort, step into Orbit.
