   Danish shoe company #ECCO sells more shoes than ever before. Their secret? Staying in Russia, while every decent company has left.

   This week I am taking a closer look at the company who claims a high moral ground while selling shoes to the war crime nation.

   Watch “ECCO and the profit of war" on YouTube:

     @randahl I had no idea that they were not honoring sanctions. ECCO is a brand I have multiples of but now will look elsewhere.

     @irina @randahl So… now what?

     Yes it may seem trivial in the big scheme of things but the reality is my shoes make a huge difference to the toll of my work days

     @auscandoc @randahl Yes, that's what I do too. There used to be an Ecco store in town where I went whenever they had a "two for one" sale and get 2 pairs of the same.

     @irina @randahl I’m (now) in a similar predicament. I literally (used to) walk into the store, plonk the old ones on the counter and say “give me another pair”, pay and walk out.

     Scrolling through the replies in the hope of finding “I use these instead”.

     @randahl Argh that would make me boycott them but Eccos are the only shoes that actually fit me.
