- Clarks Sandals - Clarks England
 Started
in 1825, by Quaker brothers Cyrus and James Clark, as a business making sheepskin
rugs and slippers, using out-workers in the village, it has expanded to become
a global shoe brand, with operations in the United States, Europe, the Far
East and Japan.
For much of the life of the business, the company manufactured its own shoes
in Somerset, building several factories in the area. The company's Quaker ethos
made provision for workers' housing, education and leisure activities, while
its keen social conscience kept Street 'dry' for many years. Rising costs and
low productivity forced production abroad, and while shoe design is still predominantly
done in the United Kingdom, all manufacturing has now moved to India, China and
Vietnam. In 1993, redundant buildings at its Street site were opened as Clarks
Village, the UK's first outlet shopping centre.
Clarks have produced a number of iconic styles during its history. One such
style is the Playdeck sandal which was made for men, women and children from
the 1970s to the early 1990s. Playdeck was a popular style of sandals, especially
for children, during the 1970s and 1980s. It consisted of a flat crepe sole unit,
a leather insole, a plain ankle strap and two buckling straps, one at the instep
and the other at the toes. It came in a variety of colours, but most popular
was bamboo (tan), navy blue and white. Playdeck sandals were more commonly worn
by girls, but a significant minority of them were worn by boys and many girls'
schools had them as a uniform item in the 1970s and early 1980s, typically with
white knee socks.
