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

Searching the web, it looks like they just sell shoes in Russia. It's not like they run their business there.

they used to be the purveyor for the royal Danish family. the latter demanded them to stop operating in Russia after the full-blown invasion started if they want to renew the contract, and Ecco was like "nah we'll keep doing that, thanks".

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.

Meindl and haix for hiking and work wear.

For hiking there are also Salomon (french), Tecnica (Italian I think ?) and Nordica (Italian). Decathlon (french) also has decent entry level stuff for basically every sport

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