FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the premium black leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to apply a leather-specific water and stain protector for enhanced protection against rain and damp conditions.

How do I clean the sheepskin insole?

The sheepskin insole can be gently wiped with a damp cloth and aired out to dry. Avoid soaking the insole or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the material and affect its softness.

Can I replace the Contour Cushion insole?

Yes, the Contour Cushion insole is removable. This allows for easy cleaning, airing, or replacement with custom orthotics if you prefer, although the included insole is designed to provide ample support and comfort.

What occasions are these shoes best for?

The Clarks Torhill Hi is ideal for smart-casual settings, making it perfect for work, social gatherings, weekend outings, or everyday wear, especially in cooler weather where its substantial build provides comfort and style.

Will the leather stretch over time?

Yes, like most genuine leather footwear, the premium black leather on the Torhill Hi will naturally soften and conform to your foot shape with wear, providing a more personalized and comfortable fit over time.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Clarks footwear generally runs true to size. For the best fit, it's always recommended to consult the official Clarks sizing guide. The adjustable laces also help in achieving a custom and secure fit.

What do the embossed logo holders signify?

The two embossed logo holders included with your shoes pay tribute to the heritage of Clarks. They feature the classic Clarks logo and the Glastonbury Tor, an iconic landmark near the brand's origins, celebrating its rich history.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider re-lacing the shoes for a tighter initial fit and better knot retention.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the laces for a customized fit. Remember that the premium black leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly with wear, adapting to your foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This is often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the Contour Cushion insole, or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder underneath it to reduce friction.

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a quality leather conditioner. This will restore its luster, moisture, and protect it from further drying.

Difficulty putting on / taking off shoes.

Loosen the laces adequately before attempting to put on or take off the shoes. A shoehorn can be helpful to protect the heel counter.

Care Instructions for Black Leather:

  1. Cleaning: To remove surface dirt, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent it from drying out, and maintain its natural luster.
  3. Protection: Utilize a water and stain protector specifically formulated for leather to guard against moisture and spills.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Insole Care: The removable Contour Cushion insole can be taken out for airing if needed. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary, and ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. The sheepskin insole also benefits from occasional airing.
