FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the Clarks Hopper Go is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for both boys and girls. The black fabric with floral detailing offers a versatile style.
What size are these particular shoes?
This specific product is a UK 3 Child size. Please check other available variants if you need a different size.
How often can I machine wash these shoes?
You can machine wash these shoes as needed to keep them clean. For best results and longevity, always follow the gentle washing and air-drying instructions.
Is the leather used in these shoes genuine?
Yes, the shoes are made with smooth, responsible leather, ensuring a quality and durable material.
Are these shoes good for active play?
Absolutely. The flexible sole and lightweight design are specifically engineered to support the movements of active children, providing comfort during running, jumping, and playing.
Do I need to treat the leather before washing?
No special treatment is required before washing. However, ensure any loose dirt is brushed off. After drying, a leather conditioner can be applied to maintain the leather's quality, if desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or stained quickly.
Utilize the machine washable feature. Brush off loose dirt, then wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry completely.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size (UK 3 Child for this variant). The padded topline is designed for comfort, but an ill-fitting shoe can still cause issues. Check socks for seams or bunching. Allow a brief breaking-in period if new.
Floral detailing appears faded after washing.
Always wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can accelerate fading. Air drying also helps preserve the fabric and print.
Shoes are stiff after drying.
Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried. For leather components, you can gently flex the shoe once dry to restore suppleness. A light application of a suitable leather conditioner can also help if the leather feels dry.

Care Instructions
Machine Washable: The key benefit of these shoes is their machine washability. To ensure longevity and maintain appearance:
- Remove any loose dirt: Brush off excess mud or debris before washing.
- Use a gentle cycle: Wash on a cool or delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
- Air Dry: Do not tumble dry. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent damage to the leather and fabric. Stuffing them with paper towels can help them retain shape.
- Leather Care: Although machine washable, for extended life of the smooth leather components, occasional gentle wiping with a damp cloth and a suitable leather conditioner (post-wash and dry) can help maintain its suppleness.
