With a focus
on sustainability

We crafted our first pair of slippers from leftover sheepskin, so reducing our environmental impact is in our roots. We’re a brand known for acting with integrity, and it’s our collective responsibility to maintain that reputation.

To us, sustainability is about digging into the details and analysing everything we do, to be better for the world ahead. From sourcing materials more responsibly and making shoes that last, to using recycled content and investing in the communities where we live and work.

Our Quality team also stringently monitors all our global suppliers to make sure they meet our high standards. Because we also want to inspire our friends and neighbours to follow our lead in taking strides that make a huge difference. So together, we can move the world ahead.

Whose future is exciting

Today, Clarks is a global business, selling millions of pairs of shoes a year around the world. And we keep pushing the boundaries of expert shoemaking – from cutting-edge collections with design innovators like Martine Rose to collaborating with leading brands and licences like Eastpak and Pokémon. Taking strides in social change, reimagining legendary silhouettes, and making shoes that move us all forward – Clarks never stands still.

And it all starts with our extraordinary people. The true originals. Faithful to our roots, and always looking to the future. They’re the ones who help us stay out in front. Working collaboratively, creatively and responsibly to keep moving the world ahead.

And past provides integrity

Established in Somerset, England, Clarks has been a shoemaking pioneer since 1825, when founding brothers James and Cyrus created their first sheepskin slipper. A complete game-changer, this profile’s radical combination of innovation and craftsmanship still remains at the heart of everything we do. Now, as always, every silhouette stays true to our craft, heritage and inspirations.
