Clarks
1825 in Street, Somerset, England. Two brothers, one idea: slippers.
Our story began almost 200 years ago, when Cyrus and James Clark crafted a slipper from sheepskin offcuts – minimizing waste, and maximizing ingenuity. This ground-breaking idea combined innovation, conscientiousness and craftsmanship – core values that set us apart then, and now.
ALWAYS INNOVATING
Informed by the last two hundred years, and inspired by the next – at Clarks, we do things differently. From creating the world’s first foot-shaped shoe and breakthroughs in comfort 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.
CRAFTSMANSHIP LIKE NO OTHER
Leonardo da Vinci described the human foot as "a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art". So, to look after your feet better than anyone else, we study them – scrutinizing their biomechanics and movement at work, rest, and play to make sure they stay healthy and happy. Now, as always, our shoes are crafted using a hand-carved last – and we utilize both time-honored and pioneering construction techniques, technologies and materials to make sure Clarks are the shoes you can count on.
