FAQs

What material are these boots made from?

These Clarks Torhill Hi boots are crafted from premium black leather.

How should I clean my leather boots?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then use a suitable leather cleaner. Finish with a leather conditioner and polish for protection and shine.

Are these boots waterproof?

While leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to avoid heavy rain and consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Do these boots run true to size?

Clarks footwear generally fits true to size. This specific pair is a UK size 11.

What inspired the unique sole design?

The bold ribbed outsole is inspired by Clarks' 'Big Gripper' profile from the 1990s archives, blending heritage with a contemporary feel.

Can I wear these in warmer weather?

While suitable for most seasons, leather boots like these are generally more comfortable in cooler to moderate temperatures. For warm weather, consider lighter footwear.

How do I maintain the boot's shape?

Store your boots using shoe trees when not in use. This helps absorb moisture and maintain their original shape, preventing creasing.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner. For added shine, follow with black shoe polish.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal for new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Use thick socks for added comfort during this period.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Ensure the laces are not too tight, and check if the insole is seated correctly. Sometimes, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole can help reduce friction. If the issue persists, consult a cobbler.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.

Clean the affected area, then apply a small amount of black shoe polish matching the boot's color. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
