Crocs as a brand has already Crocs.com.

In addition to allowing medical workers to request pairs on its site, Crocs has committed to donating up to 100,000 pairs of shoes to be distributed to select health care facilities and organizations.

In addition to Crocs, dozens of footwear brands are donating free pairs of shoes to medical professionals that are on their feet at work all day. Bearpaw, Keds and Allbirds are just a few of the brands that have stepped up to use their products for good during the pandemic. Donated pairs can range from casuals for support staff to duty shoes that feature slip-resistant outsoles for workers on the front lines.

Major fashion companies like PVH Corp. and Deckers Brands are also contributing to the fight against the coronavirus through million-dollar monetary donations to various COVID-19 relief efforts.
