Nominate a nurse for free shoes that help protect from COVID-19
A company says its new Gales shoes will help protect our frontline workers from the Covid virus and other bad germs Author: Jeannie Blaylock Updated: 8:05 PM EDT July 14, 2021
They re called Gales, named after the famous nurse Florence Nightingale.
Company CEO Rob Gregg says he talked with nurses around the country and saw a need for personal protective equipment that included shoes.
“We re getting masks and gloves, but we have this big problem with our feet,” says Gregg. “It s kind of like walking barefoot in a hazmat suit.”
That analogy isn t literal, of course, but nurse Debbie Kantor in Jacksonville says she tried to bleach her tennis shoes, and it didn t work at all.
