Shoemakers since 1825. Our story began almost 200 years ago when Cyrus and James Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. At the time it was ground-breaking; a combination of invention and craftsmanship that's remained at the heart of what we do. Every pair of our shoes begins with a last carved by hand, advanced construction techniques, technologies and materials that help us deliver perfection, tailor-made for the world ahead.
