C&J Clark International Ltd.
 PROFILE
Even the most fashionable feet need never ache again, thanks to sensible shoemaker C&J Clark International. The company, whose comfy Desert Boots adorn the peds of pop stars (including Oasis' Gallagher brothers), is the one of the largest casual shoe companies in the world, manufacturing and selling its notoriously homely Clarks, Bostonian, and K Shoes brands in department stores and company-owned outlets all over the world. Suffering from lagging sales, C&J Clark improved profits by moving several production facilities outside of the US and the UK and focusing on improving the brand's image. Founded in 1828, about 70% of C&J Clark is now owned by the 400 descendants of co-founder James Clark.
