Brief summary
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.
