The Clarks Shop
Shoe Store in Birmingham, West Midlands
It started with a flash of inspiration. It was 1825 in the Somerset village of Street and James Clark was busy working at the tannery owned by his brother, Cyrus. Among the sheepskin rugs, the off-cuts and cast-offs were piling up when James had a brainwave: Slippers! And the rest, as they say, is history. A few stitches and a several years later, the sheepskin slipper was born. It was the very 1st Clarks shoe and the opening chapter in a remarkable story that continues to unfold to this day. In the decades that have passed since the young Mr. Clark's eureka moment our shoes have seen social, political and economic revolution.

About Us
read moreOur 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. And whilst now, as always, every pair of our shoes begins with a last carved by hand from a single block of hornbeam, advanced construction techniques, technologies and contemporary materials help us deliver perfection tailor-made for the modern world. From the very beginning we've always thought differently.
