Clarks 200 years of craftmanship and innovation

As we celebrate Clarks 200 years of craftmanship and innovation - we continue to push the boundaries once again with the launch of our first-ever performance walking shoe: Clarks PACE.

Recent studies show that over half of Brits walk for fitness each week, averaging 230 miles a year - a distance that has increased by 13% since the start of the pandemic, highlighting a growing trend in fitness walking. Equally, one in three Americans (+116 million people) walk for fitness, yet 74% are wearing running shoes rather than footwear designed for walking. Research confirms that walking and running involve different gait cycles (including your stance and swing patterns) which places unique pressures on feet and joints.

Pace is specialist-designed and scientifically backed, crafted specifically for the performance activity of walking. While the technology is advanced, the design doesn’t compromise on style. Pace features a modern, sleek silhouette made from breathable knit materials and comes in a range of colours for men and women.

Because walking is different to running. Your shoes should be too! Available now via Clarks channels, online and in-store, and at select global retailers.
