Spanning a history of nearly 200 years, Clarks shoes have become synonymous with quality, comfort and class. Bringing the best of Britain and a very unique heritage in shoe design, Clarks has delighted consumers since inception, and very few the world over are unaware of the brand. Premium quality footwear that blends British traditional craft and innovative technology distinguishes and sets Clarks apart.
Started by the two Clark brothers – James and Cyrus – in 1825, the brand takes inspiration from their iconic archive, based in Street, Somerset, and the melting pot of British culture from throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Starting with the first ever shoe designed to fit the shape of the foot in the early 1800s, Clarks has consistently made great strides in the design of footwear.
Developments in both fashion and technology have helped the company grow into a true fashion brand, continuing to change customers’ perceptions on the stylish collections from Clarks and cementing the brand as an icon of British culture, beloved by celebrities and fashionistas around the world.
From the first flagship store in London’s Regent Street in 1957, to having over 13000 employees worldwide in a 1000 shops that sell 50 million pairs of shoes a year, Clarks has come a long way.
Clarks has its presence in Sri Lanka since 2011, and now it offers a wider range of designs. Celebrating the great market in Sri Lanka, Clarks whose prices maintain parity in all stores worldwide will be offering prices that are competitive compared to shoe prices in Dubai, China, India and UK.
One of the best features for the Sri Lankan market will be the availability of half sizes for both men and women. Given the difficulty of finding shoes that fit precisely, Clarks will be ideal for many, and will be a great choice not only stylistically but also in terms of comfort and fit. Thus, brand conscious consumers will be able to have designs that are usually only seen in Western countries.
Collections introduced in Sri Lanka will be the same as designs seen in the rest of the world. Flaunt your feet in amazingly comfortable footwear that is stylish both here and the world over.
