New York (CNN Business)Go into most US emergency rooms, and you'll find staff wear Crocs. Now their manufacturer has announced a program to donate 10,000 a day to healthcare workers fighting against the novel coronavirus.
"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 in an effort to provide ease on
their feet, as well as ease of mind as they need the ability to
easily clean up before they go home to their families," said
Crocs CEO Andrew Rees.
Crocs (CROX)
are made out of a rubber-like molded polymer resin. They are
waterproof and can be easily washed off, which is an advantage as
people take special precautions because of the spread of
the coronavirus.
Crocs said it is delivering some shipments straight to hospitals
and other facilities, but that it is allowing workers to sign up
for the free shoes by going to www.crocs.com/freeforhealthcare. It said it will
continue to donate the shoes as long as supplies last.
