Clarks has a colorful history of innovation. Our track record for creating comfort constructions, technologies and patterns has revolutionized the footwear industry.
1825 - Cyrus and James Clark set up a small sheepskin slipper business in the tiny English village of Street, Somerset.
1883 - William Clark creates shoes that follow the natural shape of the foot, a revolutionary concept.
1950 - Nathan Clark, inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in World War II, introduces the Desert Boot, the first of Clarks Originals.
Late 50s - Clarks innovates the process of directly vulcanizing rubber soles onto leather uppers
1960s - Lance Clark designs the world's first true comfort shoe, a moccasin built on Clarks nature-formed last. The Wallabee® goes on to join the Desert Boot as a timeless classic.
1970s - Clarks introduces the use of polyurethane (PU) as a soling material. Incredibly lightweight, yet virtually indestructible, PU formed the basis for the decade's many technological breakthroughs.
1980s - Clarks pioneers the use of air in comfort footwear with its Air Comfort concept for casual shoes.
1990s - We’re named "Company of the Year" by Footwear News, an industry-leading trade publication.
