If you’re a healthcare professional in need of our easy-to-clean, comfortable Crocs shoes, we’ve got you taken care of.
Crocs”
CEO Andrew Rees said, “Over the past week, we have spoken to healthcare workers, their facilities and even their family and friends, and they have specifically asked for our shoes to provide ease on their feet, as well as ease of mind as they need the ability to clean up before they go home to their families easily.”
Crocs are made of a molded polymer resin that is a rubber-like. They are also waterproof and could easily be cleaned, which is why these are high shoes for those being cautious of the novel coronavirus.
Crocs announced that it is shipping directly to the hospitals and facilities, but they should sign up to be able to receive those free shoes at www.crocs.com/freeforhealthcare. The company said that they would be donating as long as supplies are there.
Rees, “The duration of our giveaway, will depend on our level of inventory and the number of requests we receive. These workers have our deepest respect, and we are humbled to be able to answer their call and provide whatever we can to help during this unprecedented time.”
The CEO also added, “We only have one ask: Share the word to all those in healthcare and please be mindful of allowing those who need these most to place their requests. This is the least we can do for those working incredibly hard to defeat this virus.”
