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 off-cuts.
At the time, it was ground-breaking: a combination of invention and craftsmanship that has remained at the heart of what the brand does now.
In the Clarks archive, more than 22,000 pairs of shoes 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.
