Clarks
Clarks has been making shoes since 1825 and is still headquartered in Street, Somerset, where it began. The online shop covers the whole family, from children's school shoes to boots, sandals, loafers, heels, trainers and work shoes for adults. Its most famous designs are the Desert Boot, which dates from 1950, and the Wallabee.
About Clarks
School shoes and fitting
Children's school shoes are a big part of the Clarks name. The company has more than 320 shops across the UK and Ireland, and staff there offer professional fitting, particularly for school shoes. That helps with growing feet. Online, the kids' range sits alongside adult styles, so a family can shop in one place.
Adult styles
Women's styles include boots, sandals, loafers and heels, while men's run from trainers and casual shoes to formal and work footwear. Comfort is the brand's main selling point, with designs that combine traditional shoemaking and modern comfort technology.
