FAQs
Are these Clarks Hopper Go shoes machine washable?
Yes, a key feature of the Hopper Go plimsolls is that they are machine washable. We recommend washing them on a cold, gentle cycle and then air drying them.
What is `Riptape` fastening?
`Riptape` fastening refers to a hook-and-loop closure system (similar to Velcro). It allows for easy and quick on/off, as well as providing a secure and customizable fit for your child's foot.
Are these shoes suitable for school wear?
Yes, with their durable black canvas upper and comfortable design, the Hopper Go plimsolls are often suitable for school uniform requirements, particularly for indoor or active school days.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
These shoes are in UK Child sizes. For the most accurate fit, it's recommended to measure your child's feet and consult a Clarks size guide. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and foot health.
What material is the sole made from?
The outsole of the Hopper Go plimsolls is made from grippy, flexible TR (thermoplastic rubber), designed to move with your child's foot.
Is the floral pattern only on the outside of the shoe?
No, the floral detailing is present on the black fabric upper and is also carried through to the sock liner, adding a cohesive and charming design element.
Are these shoes durable enough for active children?
Yes, they are designed with active children in mind. They feature a durable canvas upper and a flexible TR outsole built to withstand the movements and play of energetic kids.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty after a day of play.
These shoes are machine washable. Place them in a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry them away from direct heat to restore their clean appearance.
My child's foot feels loose or the shoe slips off.
Adjust the `riptape` fastening. Ensure it is secured firmly across the foot for a custom and secure fit. Check if the shoe size is appropriate; a shoe that is too large will feel loose.
My child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
First, ensure the `riptape` is not too tight or too loose. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe. The padded topline and breathable lining are designed for comfort, but an incorrect size or fit can cause issues. Ensure the socks worn are suitable.
The sole seems stiff, not as flexible as expected.
The TR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole is designed to be flexible. It will adapt and become more pliable with wear. Ensure the shoe is the correct size, as an overly large shoe might feel less responsive.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting started with your Hopper Go plimsolls is straightforward:
- Open Riptape: Fully open the `riptape` fastening on each shoe.
- Insert Foot: Help your child slide their foot into the shoe.
- Adjust & Secure: Gently press the `riptape` down to secure the shoe. Ensure it's snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement and comfort.
Compatibility

- Activity: Ideal for everyday wear, school, light sports activities, and casual outings.
- Sizing: Available in UK Child sizes. Always measure your child's feet and consult a Clarks size guide for the most accurate fit.

Care
One of the key benefits of the Hopper Go plimsolls is their ease of care:
- Machine Washable: For best results, wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Air Dry: Do not tumble dry. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Stubborn Stains: For any tough spots before washing, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed before machine washing.
- Regular Cleaning: Regular washing will help maintain the shoe's appearance and hygiene, especially for active children.
