Footwear companies
(Apolitical companies include Red Wing Shoes, Florsheim, On Running, and Newton Running. Least offensive alternatives are New Balance, Dr. Scholls, and Skechers.)
Nike (also Jordan
Brand, Foamposite, Converse)
- (see our detailed
review of Nike) - The original racist hate company that picked Colin Kaepernick as their endorsement hero. Despicable anti-American company. Against Trump's travel ban. Consider NewBalance and Dr. Scholls instead.
Converse (owned
by Nike) - Honors 11-year old drag queen in advertisements.
Adidas - (also
owns Salomon shoes, Taylormade golf, Maxfli) Unapologetically supports the
violent Marxist group Black Lives Matter right at the top of their
website in bold letters. Also donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund (bails out man who wants to rape children). They are so rabidly obsessed, that
their shoes play second fiddle to BLM! Adidas ran a disgusting ad celebrating men playing in women's sports. Dem donors. German company pushing wokeism on America.
Puma (owned by the French holding company Groupe Artémis S.A.) - Pushing the usual systemic racism nonsense. Donated in excess of 3 million
dollars to "work on criminal justice reform" (AKA dismatle the
justice system) and for "issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community".
Puma sponsored Gwen Berry,
the Olympian who turned away from the US flag.
Vans - (See under CLOTHING > VF Corp) - (see our detailed
review of Vans) - Pushing "diversity", "equity", "systemic
racism", "justice", blah blah blah. Plans to hire less white people
by 2025.
Tom's Shoes -
Donated $100,000 to the violent Marxist group Black Lives Matter and
other organizations "fighting for racial justice", thus reinforcing
the lie of systemic racism in America.
Reebok - Tribalism.

Keen Shoes - Pushing leftist nonsense: Global warming hysteria, systemic
racism, diversity (AKA discrimination),
supports the violent Marxist group Black Lives Matter.

race-mongering groups in order to "fix" systemic racism, Pride and transgender tribailism.

Foot Locker -

Zappos shoes - Owned by Amazon, which is our #1 boycott target!
Denali shoes -
A product of Pacific Trail, which is owned by Columbia
Sportswear (see under CLOTHING). Employees and PAC's at
Columbia Sportswear are rabid
Dem donors. Pacific Trail is based in the Marxist city of
Portland. Columbia Closed all of their North American stores for 2 hours in honor of armed
robber/fentanyl user George Floyd.
Merrell (parent
company Wolverine Worldwide) - "Making justice, D.I.E. (diversity,
inclusion, and equity) a key strategic pillar within our business",
LBGTQ and gender tribalism.
Dr. Scholls -
Pride tribalism tweets.
Owned by Yellow Wood Partners, from which we cannot find any
political donations.
New Balance - Pushing climate change
nonsense, has a pride collection. Overall, New Balance is still one
of the least offensive footwear companies in this highly woke
industry. NB is not pushing systemic racism nonsense and
has a stellar donation
record. NB was one of the very few footwear companies that did
not urge president Trump to remove his proposed 25% China trafiff on
footwear.
Brooks Running - Very woke! Pushing D.I.E. (diversity, inclusion, equity), pushing climate change nonsense [1, 2]. Wants to have 50% women and 30% black, indigenous and people of color employee representation in the US at every level. Based in the Marxist city of Seattle.

Matching employee donations to Black Lives Matter Boston, Global Empowerment Mission, Black Community, Minnesota Freedom Fund, ACTBlue Charities, NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, ACLU, Loveland Foundation, Black Health Alliance.
Johnston and Murphy (owned by Genesco) - Woke! Wants 'equality' (which we know as a code word for racial socialism), race-mongering about an end to 'racial injustice', supports NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, pride and women's tribalism, etc.
Shoes.com - Dropped Ivanka
Trump's line. UPDATE: Great news... Now bankrupt!
