When looking for footwear, comfort and style are two factors that should not be compromised. Clarks, the British shoe company, manufactures elegant footwear that is notoriously comfortable.
In 1825, in a village in Somerset, England, Cyrus Clark started work tanning sheepskin rugs. He was later accompanied by his brother James who began manufacturing sheepskin slippers in 1830. Thus C&J Clarks, a shoe company, was born. With the invention of the Singer sewing machine in 1856, Clarks launched a “Hygienic Line” of footwear. This range of footwear became very famous because their designs followed the natural shape and line of the foot and Clarks established a reputation for manufacturing foot-friendly and comfortable shoes. With the passage of time, Clarks’ reputation grew and they introduced new technologies and better materials, taking full advantage of the economies of mass production. Clarks responded to the changing trends and introduced stylish female footwear. Clarks also launched a line of children’s footwear in 1960, and then there was no looking back for the company.
Clarks has enjoyed significant growth since then. They were the first to introduce polyurethane as a soling material which resulted in incredibly light and virtually indestructible shoes. Today, with over 500 stores, Clarks is the number one shoe retailer in the UK. Clarks footwear is innovative and high in quality and durability. Their shoes are recognised for contemporary styles that offer a great fit.
Clarks footwear for men includes casual, formal and sports shoes as well as comfortable sandals for daily wear. Their women’s collection is huge – shoes, sandals, sneakers, sports shoes, flip flops, wedges and heels are available in many colours from bright to subdued. Clarks also sells women’s K shoes that are specifically designed to offer comfort for women who are on their feet all day. Clarks has a range of shoes for children up to seven years of age in colourful and fun designs.
Clarks’ commitment to comfort, authenticity and performance is truly commendable. Their designs retain individuality and style, offering the best in comfort with a touch of elegance. From footwear meant for outdoor use to sophisticated high heels, Clarks has everything a shoe lover could ask for.
