FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Hopper Go's durable construction, comfortable fit (with a flexible sole and padded topline), and easy-to-clean machine washable feature make them an excellent choice for daily school activities and active playtime.
How do I properly machine wash the Hopper Go plimsolls?
Remove any large debris first. Place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them completely away from direct heat sources to prevent damage.
What does 'responsible leather' mean in this product?
'Responsible leather' indicates that the leather components in the Hopper Go are sourced from tanneries that adhere to environmental best practices and ethical standards in their production processes, promoting sustainability.
Can boys wear the Hopper Go shoes?
While some variants may be categorized as 'Female' due to the floral pattern, the classic plimsoll silhouette is versatile. The choice ultimately depends on individual preference. One variant is also listed as 'Unisex'.
What features contribute to the Hopper Go's comfort for children?
Key comfort features include a highly flexible sole that moves with active feet, a padded topline for soft cushioning around the ankle, and a lightweight design that reduces foot fatigue during extended wear.
Are these shoes waterproof or suitable for wet weather?
The Hopper Go plimsolls are made of fabric and smooth leather, which offer basic protection against light moisture. They are not designed to be waterproof or for heavy wet weather conditions.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's feet and comparing them to the Clarks sizing guide to ensure the best fit. Proper sizing is essential for comfort and healthy foot development.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or stained after wear.
The Hopper Go plimsolls are machine washable. Follow the care instructions for a gentle wash and air dry to restore their fresh look and maintain cleanliness.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing around the ankle.
First, ensure the shoe size is correct; an improper fit can cause discomfort. The Hopper Go features a padded topline designed for comfort, so if issues persist, check that appropriate socks are worn and consider having your child's foot measured again.
Sole feels stiff or less flexible initially.
While the sole is designed for flexibility, new shoes might require a short 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them regularly, and the sole will naturally become more pliable with movement and use.
Floral detailing appears faded or worn.
Fading can occur over time with extensive use and washing. To minimize this, always use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents. Air drying also helps preserve the fabric and print quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting started with your Hopper Go plimsolls is straightforward. Simply slip them onto your child's feet. No complex adjustments or break-in periods are typically needed, though new shoes always benefit from being worn for short periods initially.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These shoes are specifically designed for kids (children).
- Sizing: Available in UK children's foot sizes, such as UK 2, 3, 8, 9, 10. Always refer to a Clarks sizing guide or measure your child's feet to ensure the correct fit, as proper sizing is crucial for comfort and foot health.
- Gender: While some variants are listed as 'Female' due to the floral pattern, the classic plimsoll style is suitable for any child who appreciates the design. One variant is also listed as 'Unisex'.
Care
One of the most practical features of the Hopper Go is its easy maintenance:
- Preparation: Before washing, gently remove any large debris or loose dirt from the shoes with a soft brush or cloth.
- Machine Washing: The Hopper Go plimsolls are machine washable. We recommend placing them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during the wash cycle. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes completely. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials, especially the smooth leather and adhesive. Allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, potentially stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Regular Cleaning: For daily upkeep, wipe down any visible dirt with a damp cloth. For the smooth leather parts, a specific leather cleaner or conditioner can be used sparingly if needed, following product instructions.
