Care for your Clarks Hopper Run Black Leather Plimsolls primarily involves maintaining their leather material.
Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner suitable for smooth leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If wet, allow the plimsolls to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Important Note on Washing: While the general description for the 'Hopper Run' series mentions 'machine washable', this specific model is made from leather. Leather footwear typically requires hand-cleaning and should generally not be machine washed as it can damage the material and affect its shape and durability. Always prioritize care methods appropriate for leather.
