Donations of footwear for US emergency workers were last week pouring in from many of the country's best known brands.

Among the first to announce a contribution was the safety footwear manufacturer Footwear Specialties International of Portland, Oregon, which provided over 500 pairs comprising its Nautilus and Third Watch brands. Another company to respond quickly to the relief effort was the industrial footwear and protective equipment manufacturer, La Crosse Footwear, also of Portland. Its donation comprised 500 pairs of knee boots as well as a ‘significant supply’ of rain pants and coats.
