UK footwear giant Clarks continues making big steps internationally, now launching three dedicated Cloudsteppers brand standalone concept stores in Southeast Asia and the United States adding a further 10 locations to those regions next year.

And for the first time the brand will introduce women’s and men’s apparel/accessories to its footwear line-up with athleisure lines and a new men’s footwear line also launching in 2026.

The first stores are in Central i-City, Malaysia (which opened on 5 November), the Pavilion, Malaysia, at Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (opening on 7 November) while the Corpus Christ store in Texas opens on 12 December.

Claiming that Cloudsteppers “has earned its reputation as America’s No1 brand in women’s flip-flops, with over 25 million pairs of the iconic Breeze Sea sold globally”, Clarks said it’s building on this success with the concept stores that offer an “immersive retail experience”.

The stores are designed as “calm, welcoming spaces” that allow consumers to explore collections of breathable, ultra-light sneakers, sandals and boots “designed to elevate every off-duty moment”.

Those new stores will introduce casual lifestyle essentials including T-shirts, hoodies, socks, caps and bags and as Cloudsteppers “evolves into a head-to-toe lifestyle offering”, the collection will further expand in 2026 to include athleisure including leggings and windbreaker jackets “all at incredibly accessible prices”.

Peter Quirke, Clarks VP Americas Retail, said: “Launching Cloudsteppers as a standalone experience is a milestone we’re incredibly excited about, and there’s so much more to come in 2026.”

Raymond Chew, general manager SEA, added: “With Southeast Asia’s warmer climate and love for comfort-led footwear and apparel, it’s a perfect match. This store brings an entirely new look to the market.”
