Men’s Shoes

2014 Winner: Clarks

Founded in 1825, this British brand (with an American headquarters in Newton) has won many fans over the years, from mods to rappers to Walter White. Known for its original 1949 Desert Boot, a cult classic inspired by crepe soles worn by British officers in World War II, Clarks also delivers summer style with leather boat shoes and canvas slip-ons. And Elvis fans, heads up: There’s even a blue suede wing-tip for you. Be sure to check out the brand’s new outlet in Somerville’s Assembly Row.
