ECCo is indeed Danish but have gotten a lot of heat for not pulling out of Russia when they invated Ukraine

Sange goes for a few other Danish companies who contributed inue to do business with Russia, including Rockwool, and Novo Nordisk among others

Not Ecco: they continue to do business in Russia. For my money and conscience, I’d buy American shoes before buying from them.

Freet Barefoot - barefoot style shoes made in the UK, often out of recycled material, and known to be quite durable for the money.

Very intresting, never heard of freet or barefoot shoes. Kinda reminds me of what I love so much about my knitted sneakers in the summer.
