This isn't the first time Clarks has been accused of sexism. Earlier this month, a mum complained that Clarks' girls shoes weren't comfortable or "not suited to outdoor activities in British weather." Meanwhile, she claimed that the boys' shoes were sturdier and meant for outdoor activities.
Clarks tweeted that the company has a "gender neutral ethos" and that they were phasing out the range of shoes.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Clarks said the "Dolly Babe" shoe is "an old and discontinued line" with "remaining stock" being sold in stores.
"Following customer feedback regarding the name, we have removed the shoe from sale online and are in the process of removing the name from the remaining stock in store, though this process will take time to complete," the spokesperson said.
"We are working hard to ensure our ranges reflect our gender neutral ethos and we apologise for any unintended offence caused," the spokesperson continued.
