The Clarks story began in England in 1825 when the Clarks brothers, Cyrus and James, created their first pair of shoes. In 1977, their business expanded into the United States and soon acquired The Hanover Shoe Company and Bostonian Shoe Company. Today, Clarks continues to strive for superior footwear with innovative new techniques and materials, all while remaining true to their past as traditional shoemakers.
