Following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, US footwear majors Skechers and Crocs have temporarily halted shipments to the eastern European nation. Clog maker Crocs plans to halt direct-to-consumer business, including e-commerce and retail operations, in Russia. The US company has also paused imports into the country though it continues to pay corporate and retail staff within Russia. Crocs has also decided to make a donation to UNICEF to support those directly impacted by the war, says Andrew Rees, CEO.

Skechers too has temporarily suspended shipments to Russia. The sneaker manufacturer has also made $250,000 in donations to humanitarian aid to organizations on the ground in Ukraine and Poland, as well as matching employee donations up to an additional $250,000 to support the Ukrainian people.

The boycott of Russia by Skechers and Crocs follows a similar move by other big brands including L’Oreal, Louis Vuitton who have temporarily ceased business operations in the nation
