Yeah, that's why I always choose closed heels.  In any case, the Health
department prefer them, and so do the safe employment folks too, whatever
their names is :-)

I suspect a searchon the net for "nurses shoes" would give you something
quickly.  It is of note that more and more nurses wear clogs :-)

Some folks do all kind of stuff :-)

You want BELOW the ankle.  Otherwise it's not quite as safe.

For a three months period I have been attacked *everyday* by tomato
sauce.  One day, I was sooo proud.  I managed to make it through a whole 12
hour without a splash at all...  Then after nearly everything was cleaned
up, as I was about to put the stuff away after it had cooled down, I
dropped a ladle in the sauce, and it splashed back up, and my vest was
RED.  Blerch.
