From the beginning, Clarks has always been a company that values doing the best thing for our customers. It’s a simple philosophy, yet it guides us in everything we do. Our story began in 1825 in a small village called Street in England. Brothers Cyrus and James Clark created their first pair of shoes out of sheepskin scraps, which met the needs of the day – offering people exceptionally comfortable, long-lasting footwear.

C&J Clark grew steadily and soon expanded into the United States where, in 1977, it acquired The Hanover Shoe Company. In 1980, the company acquired the Bostonian Shoe Company – a brand recognized as America’s classic shoemaker for over 100 years. In 1995 – under the name The Clarks Companies, North America – Bostonian, Clarks and the Retail Division came together as a single organization, offering an unprecedented range of products to meet our customers’ needs.

The Clarks Companies, North America owns and operates 250+ retail stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. In fact, wherever you live or however you prefer to shop, you can find Clarks – from department stores, to regional shoe stores to independent store retailers, online, in catalogs and even on QVC.

Today, we strive to continually create superior footwear with innovative new techniques and materials, while being true to our past as traditional shoemakers. Our customers are our inspiration, as each day we see them put on our products and get out into the world – feeling their best and standing tall.
