NHS workers in Leeds have been given hundreds of pairs of free trainers worth £45,000 in total.
Luxury shoe brand Moda in Pelle, which was founded in Leeds in 1975, loaded 600 pairs of Balina trainers into a van and took them to the city's two main hospitals, Leeds General Infirmary and St James's Hospital.
NHS staff were given the free trainers as a thank you for their incredible work to save lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Gianni Casagrande, marketing manager at Moda in Pelle, said: "Our local NHS heroes are doing an incredible job to keep us all safe and both of the hospitals we’ve chosen are close to our heart.
"While we can never truly repay them for the work they do, we hope this gesture goes a little way in showing the nurses just how much we appreciate them and all that they do."
The donation from Moda in Pelle is the latest in a long line of handouts to NHS staff as companies across the country repay their faith to doctors and nurses.
Deliveroo promised to give 500,000 free meals to NHS staff, while one company in Wales is offering free holidays to those working on the frontline in hospitals across the country.
