BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a global leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men and children, today announced the return of its 'Free Pair for Healthcare' program, an initiative first launched in 2020 to recognize and provide comfort to healthcare heroes for their extraordinary efforts in the battle against COVID-19.

The website will open for requests at approximately 12:00 p.m. ET each day and will remain open until that day's free pair allotment has been fulfilled.

The initiative reinforces Crocs' commitment to providing comfort when and where it's needed most.
"We are thrilled to bring back our 'Free Pair for Healthcare' program and celebrate our frontline healthcare heroes who have worked harder than ever before to provide comfort in our communities over the past year," said Crocs CEO Andrew Rees. "Last year's program reinforced for our brand that doing the right thing is the right thing for Crocs, and we are honored to be able to take this moment to once again provide our shoes, this time as a thank you for the incredible work these individuals do each and every day."
