I am over weight and 58 years old. I have Diabetic Neuropathy and can not stand to have shoes tight across my toes. I was reduced to crocks... But lately I am having trouble with them staying on my feet. The Gales are shoes and the toe box is loose enough to limit pain. And with heel spurs... The spring in each step is so comfortable. I just ordered a second pair. THANK YOU GALES.
I have ''On- cloud'', ''Cloves'' and ''Asics'', and my gales are by far my most favorite so far. They have vents, so my feet do not feel sweaty, yet they are splash/fluid proof (C-Diff proof!!). These shoes are the most lightweight feeling, that put a spring in my step when walking. I highly recommend these for any healthcare professional, or service personal that will need a great new pair of non-skid shoes.
As a surgical resident, I get so much use out of these shoes. I was a little skeptical as they did squeak when I first put them on, but the squeaking has stopped and they are very comfortable for long shifts on my feet. I get so many compliments on these shoes and nurses/doctors asking where I got them. They also protect my feet and wipe clean really easily so I’m not afraid when I get blood/fluids on them. Have become my favorite shoes. Highly recommend!
2nd night in a row of wearing my Gales. Best purchase ever!! #1 reason is that my plantar fasciitis and knees didn't act up at all! (Wasn't walking like an old woman at work and actually able to get out of bed with no aches and pain) No break in period needed (brought other shoes just in case), shoes were very cushiony and true to fit.
I got my Gales for nursing school, and let me tell you, my feet feel like they are on cloud nine! These shoes are light, plush, easily wipeable, and a necessity for nursing students and nurses alike! Go grab your pair now!
I tried the original Gales and while they were a great cushiony shoe, they were quite narrow on my feet. This new Pro Line is great. The fit is much wider and roomier in general. No rubbing or squeezing. The all white color is perfect for my nursing school uniform requirement! Maybe they’re not the most stylish shoe you can buy, but I think they’re subtle enough and all we care about is comfort when at work. Very lightweight yet substantial - they aren’t cheaply made. The holes on the side allow for air flow to avoid sweaty feet. And there are no laces or books and crannies for fluids (or worse) to hide in. Easily wipeable. Very happy with the Pro Line and I’ve been recommending to all my fiends. Thanks Gales!
I've been wearing Gales shoes for two years and love them! No more tired achy legs or sore feet! I've tried so many other name brands only to be disappointed. Im excited to try the nurse Blake line! Can't wait to order a pair!
I love my new Pro Line Shoes! Wore them to my 8 hour shift and my feet (+ lower back) still felt great at the end. Love that the bottoms are rubber too for slip resistance because the floors at my work are often wet and slippery! These provided great traction. I ordered the white on white and have my eyes on the fun orange color next!
As a professional chef with over 20 years of experience working in the kitchen, I have tried numerous pairs of work shoes. The ANTIGRAV2 by Stand+ has truly impressed me. Working 10-12 hour shifts I used to experience significant left ankle pain by the end of the day. However, since switching to the ANTIGRAV2, that pain has completely disappeared.
These shoes provide excellent support and their nonslip works exceptionally well. The fit and feel of the shoes are top-notch, making long hours on my feet much more bearable. I highly recommend the ANTIGRAV2 for anyone in need of reliable and effective work shoes.
I've been a Stand+/Gales supporter since they first launched. I've tried all their styles at this point, and am a repeat buyer of the Frontline style (4 pairs). I work 12-13hr shifts in a Veterinary ER, and the antigrav1 is just what I needed. The rubber on top is thick and easy to clean, so great for fluids, falling syringes, and unhappy animals. The vent holes on the side keep my feet cooler which is comfy, but the bottom sole is nice and thick so stepping in a puddle doesn't result in liquid coming in through the vent holes so my feet stay dry. I put these on straight out of the box and worked 12hrs for their inaugural shift. After 7 straight hours of standing, squatting, and walking, I realized I felt good. I wasn't near as tired, sore, achey or fatigued like usual.
I will say the way the back of the shoe is designed does rub my ankle a little bit and left a small sore, but it only happened on one foot one time so could have also been partially due to my sock bunching up or something. This style fits wider than the Frontline, but is pretty true to size so if you don't like your shoe being snug on top of your foot, I'd go up half a size. For reference I bought a womens 8.5 and my shoe fits my foot almost exactly. Previous styles I bought in a women's 9 because in an ideal world I'd like a little more room for thick/compression socks.
Still my favorite element is how super easy to clean they are especially for the white version! Love the air vents, I get sweaty feet but not with the new air vent design!
Perfect nursing shoe- simple, reliable, comfy
My shoes arrived and I’m Loving the new Proline. Sooo comfortable and fit great with a nice wide toe box!
I received my Gales+ few days ago and they are super comfortable! I use them on a day to day basis and are very resistant.
I love the aesthetic of the shoe and it’s weight (you don’t feel you are wearing shoes!). Also super easy to clean.
Love my Gales 😍
I’ve been in healthcare for almost 20 years and could not find a shoe that I wasn’t moderately sore after spending all day on my feet. I’ve been wearing my AntiGrav 1s for a week, and they truly are the most amazing shoes. Not only are they lightweight, but they are SO easy to clean!! The best thing about them? After pushing my imaging equipment around all day, being on my feet, when my shift ends I have no pain in my feet or my back! When I get home, and kick off my shoes, I have no swelling like I would with other shoes. If you work in healthcare, these are a MUST! (Plus, this awesome Citron color gets them noticed and people asking about them!) Thank you Stand+!
My knee has a slight fracture from a fall a year ago. My knee would hurt me and have swelling as well. I have noticed that ever since I have been wearing these shoes that I don't get swelling anymore. They really have helped me at work and my feet no longer get swollen after work.
comfortable non-slip. Bought two pairs. Feet don't feel like they're killing me anymore, will reccommend highly to others.
I ordered the same size as I would in Nike and they fit perfectly! My feet are a bit wide and did not feel cramped at all. Super comfortable and have great arch support too.
They are perfect as is. I love how the ankle fits really good and they aren't too loose which is also a +. It feels like I'm walking on clouds!! They have a Yeezy/croc kind of look but with a fresh new style so I love that. I like how low cut they are as well!! I wear them all day at work!
I received my 3 pairs of Gales (white, blue & grey). I am not in the medical field and use them for gardening, on the pool deck, and just for general wear. The comfort is incredible & they are so easy to just wipe clean.
So I’ve totally jacked my feet up after 30 years in the restaurant game. I’ve spent more on inserts and trying the latest and greatest of anything out there claiming to help with plantar fasciitis. Some have been decent but most have been a bust after a week in the trenches of restaurant warfare.
My feet have been in constant pain for the past 6 months and I finally pulled the trigger on the AntiGrav2’s. I usually wear a 10.5 and ordered that size. Knowing that one foot is a little bigger than the other, 10.5 (I’m actually a 10) for the most part works perfectly no matter the brand.
When they arrived the right foot fit perfectly but the left was way too loose. I sent an email to customer service asking their opinion about what to do regarding the fit. They immediately sent out a pair of 10’s for me.
I’m one week in to wearing them and here’s what I experienced:
Day 1 Some residual pain in the balls and heels of my feet and expected tightness from the shoe material itself. Feeling hopeful as they are very lightweight.
Day 2-3 Foot pain gone. Seriously! GONE! Just a little rub across the top of only one foot as the shoes formed to my feet.
Day 4-6 AMAZING!! The non slip allows me to move around the kitchen and restaurant with ease and confidence, while the lightness does not tire out my feet after a 12 hour shift.
End of the day I put on my recover slides just to help pamper my feet. I’m blown away by these shoes and even more mind-blown by the help Molly and the rest of the team were with switching out the sizes.
I can’t thank you enough Stand+ as you have given me a part of my life back that I was ready to except was just the way it was. Now I can have longer safety meetings too! ;)
The shoes are intriguing, but with the incredibly limited color design choices for the Antigravity 1 or 2, I just wasn't moved enough to buy. Cooler colors and color designs would have me pulling the trigger.
Hi, what color choices would you like to see! This is one of our newest lines / we have new colorways on the way!
Wow! I was not prepared for these bad boys! They are super light, like the weight of 3 tennis balls, easy to put on and take off and, man oh man, its like walking on clouds. I wore them for 3 days straight and forgot I had shoes on. I suffer from a lot of ankle and knee pain and wearing these really help alleviate unnecessary pressure on my joints. I got the white pair and wore them out to meet some friends to “break them in” (trust me when I say, “no breaking in needed”) and living in NYC I accidentally got some gross smudges and what I thought were scuffs. Got home and used a lysol wipe to clean them, and just like that, brand new!
They are breathable and an absolute joy to wear. Whether your keeping it together on the front lines or letting loose on the dance floor, these Gales are there to support you!

I bought the White, Grey, Orange, Yellow and Tan pairs ... it's all I wear now ... to Work, Golf or Casually ... most comfortable shoes there is.
I definitely love these shoes! They are comfortable, easy to clean, lite and easy to wear.
However I had to modify the shoe to make it more comfortable for my feet. I had to trim, (yes you read that right) the top of the shoe on the front
It was digging into the top of my ankle area. After I did that! They've been perfect.
I would definitely recommend them. But modifications might be need. I got the Pros because I have fat, wide feet.
I’m a chef of over 20 years and I’m a big dude ,I’ve worn all the “comfy” shoes on the market . For the last 3 years Snibbs have been the best ,but lo and behold I find STAND+ . The ANTIGRAV2 is BY! far the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn ,EVER and I mean that . I stand on my feet 15+ hours a day , seriously no pain with these shoes . These will be and are my new MUST HAVES!!!
