Footwear Among Medical Doctors
The footwear fashion among medical doctors has been static for decades with a high preference for clogs. However, other types of shoes have been introduced, including sneakers, sandals etc. In some subspecialties with a "need-for-speed", high-agility footwear may be prioritized, while other subspecialist may benefit from "easy-to-clean" shoes. Even comfortability may influence the choice of footwear.
We intend to investigate measures of footwear fashion among medical doctors working at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Participants will be blinded.
