Clarice Shepherd

Owner & Founder

Clarice Shepherd is the founder and owner of Herd Footwear, based in the heart of Shanklin. With a long-standing love of trainers and a knack for finding those hidden gems, Clarice set out to create a shop that brings top-brand styles to the Isle of Wight at prices that everyone can enjoy. Herd Footwear specialises in end-of-line stock, rare finds, and everyday classics, making it the go-to destination for trainer lovers who want quality without the high street mark-up.

Her journey began with a simple idea: to make genuine, high-quality trainers more accessible. Over the years, Clarice has built strong relationships with suppliers and developed a reputation for her careful eye in sourcing only the best. Every pair that arrives at Herd Footwear has been handpicked with her customers in mind, whether it’s a bold statement style, a timeless classic, or a bargain on a brand they already know and trust.

What makes Herd Footwear stand out is Clarice’s personal approach. She isn’t just running a shop — she’s built a welcoming space where people can browse at their leisure, ask questions, and get honest advice. Whether in-store in Shanklin or online, she takes pride in offering a friendly, straightforward service that makes the experience as enjoyable as finding the perfect pair of trainers.
