technologies to cutting-edge cultural collaborations and taking strides in social change, we’re
always pushing the boundaries to move boldly with the world ahead.
ABOUT CLARKS
Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since
its foundation in 1825, when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin
cut-offs. At the time it was ground-breaking: a combination of invention and craftsmanship
that’s remained at the heart of what the brand does now. In the Clarks archive of more than
22,000 pairs are shoes that have sparked revolutions and defined generations. From the original
Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950, to the iconic
Wallabee, each design has an instantly recognisable signature that makes it unmistakably
Clarks.
Clarks is a global business operating retail, wholesale, franchise, and online channels in over
100 markets.
