FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Hopper Go Plimsolls are designed with durability and comfort suitable for school, blending classic plimsoll style with school shoe features. However, please check your specific school's uniform policy regarding floral patterns.

Can I put these shoes in the dryer?

No, it is strongly recommended to air dry these shoes. Tumble drying can cause damage to the materials and structure of the shoe.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of durable canvas fabric, featuring black material with floral detailing.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

It's best to have your child's feet measured professionally at a Clarks store or refer to Clarks' online sizing guide. Always ensure there's enough wiggle room for toes and a comfortable fit around the heel and topline.

Are these shoes designed for boys or girls?

While some variants may be categorized, the design is generally suitable for any child. The floral pattern and specific 'female' categorization in some product data points towards girls, but comfort and flexibility are universal benefits.

How often should I wash them?

Wash them as needed based on how dirty they get. For optimal longevity, avoid washing them unnecessarily. Spot clean for minor marks between washes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty quickly.

Utilize the machine washable feature. Pre-treat stubborn stains with a mild stain remover before washing. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before next wear.

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure the size is correct; too small or too large can cause issues. The padded topline is designed for comfort, so check if socks are bunched or if there's any foreign object inside. Allow for a short break-in period if new.

Sole seems less flexible over time.

While designed for flexibility, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals can affect materials. Ensure proper care, especially air drying, to maintain sole integrity.

Floral pattern fading.

While designed to be durable, excessive washing or harsh detergents might contribute to fading over a very long period. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent as recommended. Avoid strong scrubbing on the pattern.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hopper Go plimsolls:

  • Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild detergent.
  • Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  1. Drying:
  • Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the sole and upper material.
