    The man who got these shoes to Russia is Wijnand Herinckx, a 40-year-old Dutch citizen who lives in Moscow.

      From the article:

      Herinckx said his focus is on consumer goods not covered by sanctions. Reuters found no evidence that his firm was violating sanctions.

      His business might be of dubious morality but it might not be illegal, so I’m not sure the government can do much.
