Clarks Collection Footwear

Clarks is a historic British footwear brand founded in 1825 by brothers Cyrus and James Clark in Street, Somerset, England. Initially known for sheepskin rugs and slippers, the company grew into one of the world's most renowned shoe manufacturers, famous for classics like the Desert Boot and Wallabee.

While Clarks was family-owned for nearly two centuries, majority ownership was acquired in 2021 by LionRock Capital, a private equity firm based in Hong Kong, with Chinese sportswear giant Li-Ning later taking a controlling stake in the consortium.

Clarks manufactures its shoes across a global supply network, primarily located in Asian countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, China, and India, and distributes them worldwide, including shoe retailers and online platforms in Norway.
