Clarks shoe shop has been accused of sexism after customers noticed a considerable difference in the naming of its shoe ranges for boys and girls.

Clarks has announced plans for unisex school shoes. The announcement comes after the shoe brand was criticised for “sexist” shoes for children earlier this summer.

Shoe brand Clarks has a rich history of being adopted by subcultures, from the Jamaican Rude Boys to the Beatniks in the US and the Mods in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
