The Best Shoes for Educators (Recommended by Educators)

We know that happy feet mean healthy educators— and the right pair of shoes can save your ankles, knees, hips, and backs! That's why NEA Today put together its first-ever, 10-member NEA Today Shoe Council. Over the past months, these educators have laced up, slipped on, and walked hundreds of miles on concrete classroom floors, wooden P.E. courts, across parade grounds and playgrounds. Now, we are toe-tally excited to reveal the brands that worked best for them!

Meet the members of the NEA Today Shoe Council and get their thoughts on more than a dozen pairs of shoes by flipping through this digital book. And, when you're done, use our cellphone-compatible, virtual technology to see what those shoes look like on your feet!
