The first Clarks Original was the Desert Boot, which was modelled on a style made in the bazaars of Cairo and favoured by off-duty British army officers, the Desert Boot instantly stood out from the crowd.  The Wallabee soon followed.  Originally called Grasshopper, the moccasin-inspired Wallabee is styled around Clarks original nature form last - fitting the contours of the foot exactly. Simple and uncluttered, with its trademark crepe sole, this enduring icon counts hip hoppers, Britpoppers and Hollywood A-listers among its many admirers.
