Verdict

The Nurse Mates Dove Slip Resistant is a solid performer — a nursing shoe scoring 83/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 320g, it is moderately heavy for a nursing shoe. The 26mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 30 HC, returning 46% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Dove Slip Resistant runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 16mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 102mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in B/D/2E widths. Wide toe box. Three width options for nurses' feet. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for nurses, healthcare workers, long shifts, wet environments, value, and performs less well for technical terrain or running.
