Clarks Introduces Unstructured to Market - a Revolutionary New Footwear Line for the True Shoe Conoisseur.

First-of-Its-Kind Collection Available at Leading Footwear Retailers This Month

NEWTON, Mass. -- The Clarks Companies N.A. today announced the market launch of its latest line of comfort footwear, Unstructured. Introduced earlier this year to widespread industry acclaim, the first-of-its-kind collection hits stores on September 13, 2007 with exclusive distribution to leading footwear retailers, including Nordstrom, The Walking Company, better independent stores, and 200 Clarks and Bostonian stores across the country. The Unstructured collection represents a breakthrough in the comfort footwear industry, featuring stylish sport and casual fashions for men and women and a revolutionary cooling system that allows warm moist air to be replaced by ambient outside air via intake vents in the sole and mid-sole. The patent-pending system is based on the principle of convection cooling.

"Unstructured was designed with an increasingly mobile, fashion-oriented consumer in mind; a consumer who values comfort and flexibility without compromising style," said Bob Infantino, president, The Clarks Companies, North America. "Clarks continues to be on the cutting-edge of shoe design, raising the bar in the comfort shoe category with purposeful innovation that speaks to a modern lifestyle yet is underscored by a timeless commitment to quality and functionality."

The Unstructured collection also achieves a long sought-after objective in shoe design - to marry the four most important comfort attributes: softness, flexibility, lightness and climate control - into one unrivaled combination in the industry. The line boasts unbelievably soft, supple leathers and lambskin linings. Shoes are unimaginably light from sole to toe, with injection molded E.V.A. Flexibility is achieved through the shoes' ultra flex sole, uniquely designed and constructed to bend naturally and freely. And the patent-pending air circulation system ensures that feet will stay fresh and comfortable.

Priced between $100 and $125, Unstructured offers consumers extraordinary comfort and style at an affordable price point. For more information on the collection, visit www.clarksusa.com.
