Clarks History

Founded in 1825 by brothers Cyrus and James, Clarks are still based in their birthplace of Street, Somerset, but today they are a global business selling shoes in over 35 countries around the world.  It all began nearly 200 years ago whilst James was working at a Tannery owned by brother Cyrus.  Sheepskin off cuts were piling up when James suddenly had a brainwave - a few years passed, the sheepskin slipper was created and by 1842 they were averaging sales of 1000 pairs per month.

In 1863, James youngest son William took over the reins, he introduced the first factory system and purchased a Singer sewing machine.  Until then all was made by hand at home by the local villagers which was then in turn, swapped for wages.  20 years later seen the launch of the Hygienic range which was the first ever shoe designed specifically to fit the shape of the foot.  This was a major breakthrough for the Clarks business.  From then on in they proceeded to open their own chain of shops, introduce a range of width fittings to their children’s collection and created the first ever Clarks foot gauge used to measure the correct size and fitting.  Nothing stood in their way, even during WW2 when leather was hard to come by, they came up with an innovative design of a wooden, hinged sole to enable them to continue supplying shoes to their loyal customers. 

The mid 90s brought a vast period of growth to the company which in turn seen them opening numerous new factories and shops.  Expansion continued, demands increased and Clarks continued to deliver.  They are currently now one of the largest and famous footwear companies with business and production booming worldwide.  To this day, both the highest quality of craftsmanship and inventions remain at the root of what they do with a hand crafted last being used to create every pair of shoes.
