Almost two hundred years ago, Cyrus and James Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts at the family tannery. Today, Clarks sells nearly 48 million pairs of shoes in 90 countries, with the business growing to become the world's largest casual and smart shoe company, and the fourth largest footwear company on the planet.
Established in 1825 in Street, Somerset, the Clarks archive now contains more than 22,000 styles of shoes.
