FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?

Yes, with their classic bar silhouette and black color, the Clarks Hopper Go plimsolls are often suitable for school uniform requirements, particularly for indoor activities or as a casual school shoe.

Can I put these shoes in the dryer?

No, it is highly recommended to air dry these shoes away from direct heat. Tumble drying can damage the materials, alter the shape, or affect the sole's flexibility.

What is the best way to clean the floral detailing?

Since the shoes are machine washable, the floral detailing on the fabric will be cleaned along with the rest of the shoe during the wash cycle. For spot cleaning specific marks, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Are these shoes slip-resistant?

The shoes feature a `grippy, flexible TR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole` designed to provide good traction on most surfaces. However, like all footwear, caution should be exercised on very wet or slippery surfaces.

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These shoes are part of the 'kids' age group collection, specifically sized for children's feet. This particular guide refers to a UK 7 child size.

Will the floral pattern fade after washing?

The floral pattern is integrated into the fabric. While proper care (machine washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air drying) helps preserve colors, excessive washing or harsh detergents could potentially lead to minor fading over a very long period.

Troubleshooting

My child complains the shoes are too loose or too tight.

Check the `riptape` fastening. Ensure it's adjusted to provide a snug fit without being restrictive. Also, double-check the sizing; a UK 7 should provide a thumb's width space at the toe.

The shoes look dirty quickly after play.

Good news! These shoes are machine washable. Place them in a mesh bag and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly.

The `riptape` fastening isn't holding as well as it used to.

Over time, fluff or debris can get caught in the `riptape`. Clean any lint or dirt from both sides of the fastening to restore its grip.

The sole seems stiff initially.

The TR outsole is designed to be flexible. It may take a short period of wear for the sole to fully break in and adapt to your child's foot movements. If it remains unusually stiff, ensure it hasn't been washed or dried improperly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to Clean: Machine washable feature saves time and effort.
  • Comfort-Focused Design: Padded topline and breathable lining enhance wearability.
  • Durable for Active Kids: Robust canvas upper and flexible outsole are built for play.
  • Secure & Adjustable Fit: Riptape fastening ensures the shoes stay on securely.
  • Stylish Appearance: Floral detailing adds a fashionable element to a practical shoe.

Cons

  • Specific Sizing: This guide focuses on a UK 7 child size, which might not be suitable for all children.
  • Limited Weather Protection: Canvas material may not offer extensive protection in very wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting the Hopper Go ready is simple:

  1. Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Adjust Riptape: Open the `riptape` fastening fully.
  3. Position Foot: Have your child place their foot inside, ensuring the heel is snugly against the back of the shoe.
  4. Secure Fit: Close the `riptape` fastening, adjusting it until it feels secure but not too tight. Check that there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Compatibility

These plimsolls are designed for kids, specifically in a UK 7 child size. They are suitable for various foot widths due to the adjustable riptape, but always ensure a proper fit by checking toe space and heel grip. The design is versatile for both school and casual wear.

Care

Keeping your Hopper Go plimsolls looking good is straightforward:

  • Machine Washable: For best results, wash at a low temperature on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. It's often recommended to place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them.
  • Air Dry: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent shrinking or damage to the materials. Do not tumble dry.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Regular Cleaning: Washing regularly helps maintain the fabric's integrity and appearance.
