For eco friendly school shoes, Clarks is the place to go.
Being friendly to our planet is more imperative than ever; the textiles industry in particular has been working hard to find ways to clothe us all in a way that lightens the impact on the environment. Clarks have seriously upped their game with their emphasis on creating eco friendly footwear, and with the kids going back to school soon, their eco friendly school shoes are well worth a look. They've also collaborated with the kids' online marketplace Dotte in an exciting new development; read on to learn more.
Comfort, style, quality AND more environmentally friendly?! What's not to love?

Is your little one a huge lover of all things Pokemon? They're going to LOVE the Clarks x Pokemon collaboration! What's more, not only does it celebrate this ever-popular fandom, it's all made to be as eco friendly as possible.
Clarks x Dotte Collaboration
Did you know that an estimated 183 million tonnes of childrenswear and 162 million pairs of shoes head to landfill in the UK every year? Clarks have teamed up with Dotte to tackle this huge waste of textiles. Also, with the cost of living crisis, this collaboration is a great way to save money as well as being planet-friendly... We're so excited by this!
Dotte is the first pre-loved marketplace for childrenswear, they're a 'one-stop shop where parents can buy, sell, donate, and recycle outgrown kids’ clothing - offering an accessible, fully circular solution to a fast area of fashion and lessening its impact on the earth' - now doesn't that sound fantastic?
You can now sell your pre-loved Clarks kids' shoes on Dotte, which reduces your carbon footprint and earns you some extra cash for your next pair. It gives your old pair extra life, and saves another family money on shoes.
What's more, you'll get a 15% Clarks discount code as a reward if you sell your pre-loved Clarks kid's shoes on Dotte!
And finally...
Don't forget that Clarks also offer the Measure at Home fitting service so if you're having a last minute panic buy yourself a Clarks fitting gauge (junior* or toddler*), and follow the instructions. You'll then add the measurements into the Clarks website* for the perfect shoe size calculation - it's so easy.
This is seriously helpful for any of you juggling multiple children solo during the school holidays - no need to traipse miles into town or worry about your children in the shop!
