The Clarks Hopper Run PE Pumps are designed for active children requiring comfortable, durable, and easy-to-care-for footwear for school sports and physical education. Their key win is the combination of practical features like machine washability and a non-marking sole with the comfort of a padded collar and soft textile upper, allowing children to focus on their activities. However, it's important to note their standard 'F' width fitting, which might not be ideal for all foot types. These pumps provide a secure and grippy option for indoor activities, simplifying parents' lives with their easy maintenance.

While durable, the Clarks Hopper Run PE Pumps are primarily designed for indoor school sports and PE classes. Their textile upper and non-marking sole are best suited for gym floors and indoor activities. For extensive outdoor use, a different type of footwear might be more appropriate.
These pumps are conveniently machine washable. We recommend washing them on a gentle cycle with cold water. To maintain their shape and integrity, always air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
The 'F (Standard)' width fitting indicates that these shoes are designed to fit children with a standard or average foot width. It's important to ensure this width is appropriate for your child's foot to guarantee comfort and proper fit.
Yes, absolutely! The secure `Velcro` fastening is specifically designed for ease of use, allowing children to quickly and independently put on and take off their pumps, fostering self-sufficiency before and after activities.
The upper of the Clarks Hopper Run PE Pumps is crafted from a soft textile material. This choice provides flexibility, breathability, and comfort, which are essential for active wear.
No, you don't need to worry about scuffing. A key feature of these pumps is their non-marking sole, specifically engineered to provide excellent grip without leaving any marks or scuffs on indoor surfaces, making them ideal for school sports facilities.
First, ensure the `Velcro` fastening is adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. If the issue persists, double-check that the size `UK 13 Child` is indeed the correct size for your child's current foot measurement, considering the `F (Standard)` width. Footwear should provide a comfortable fit without excessive movement or pinching.
These pumps are machine washable, which is their primary cleaning method. For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, follow the machine washing instructions: gentle cycle, cold water, air dry. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and appearance, especially after active use.
Ensure the `Velcro` fastening is secured firmly. If the strap is too loose, the foot can move excessively. Also, consider the thickness of the socks being worn; very thin or very thick socks can alter the fit. If the issue persists after these checks, the shoe size or width might not be optimal for your child.
This is highly unusual as the sole is specifically designed to be non-marking. Inspect the sole for any embedded debris (like small stones or grit) that might be causing marks. Also, check for any signs of damage or wear to the sole's surface. If clean and undamaged, and still marking, contact the retailer for further assistance.
