    Medical people are wearing them to avoid ruining shoes with body fluids, not for sweat or breathability.

    Hospitals are gross.

        I personally can’t be sure, longest I’ve ever worn them on clinicals was 12 hours. I didn’t really feel they were that comfy that long. I did more EMT work and that required a different shoe. I had 24 hour shifts there. So I just used cute leather boots and they stayed outside my house cus they got gross. I felt more comfy and support in proper footwear personally. Kind of the same when in the military and deployed.

        But everyone is different.
