"We have been working in the ward every day. Our feet are very sore after ten hours work, so we really the need some professional nurse shoes." A nurse got her shoes and tried them on the spot. “Very well fitting, very light!" she said.

The head of Basto, Zhao Jingfeng, said he have never expected the shoe production company could contribute to the epidemic prevention until their sales staff reported that a Huanggang guest bought dozens of pairs of  shoes for Shandong medical team nurses.

"Then we urgently contacted the Zhejiang medical team, spent five days collecting shoes with various sizes from more than ten stores in Hunan, and sent the shoes to the medical staff,” Zhao said. He hoped their classic products would help ease the pain for nurses  and win the war of epidemic prevention as soon as possible.
