FAQs
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and applicator, following the product's instructions. It's best to avoid saturating the suede with water.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the moulded, removable leather Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out if you wish to use your own insoles or clean it separately.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of TR (Thermoplastic Rubber) with EVA filler, providing a durable, lightweight, and grippy ribbed surface.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some grip, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?
The Torhill Lo features a Contour Cushion footbed designed for support, making them suitable for extended wear. However, comfort can be subjective, and individual needs may vary.
What is the inspiration behind the Torhill Lo design?
The design is inspired by Clarks' archives, blending the iconic '90s Big Gripper outsole with the classic shape of the Wallabee, creating a heritage-inspired shoe with a contemporary edge.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The shoe features an adjustable lace fastening system. You can tighten or loosen the laces to achieve a personalized and secure fit around your foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently buff out scuffs. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they feel stiff, a small amount of silicone spray or conditioner designed for laces can help, but use sparingly.
Footbed feels uncomfortable
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed for support. If it's not comfortable, try removing it and wearing the shoe without it, or consider using your own preferred insole.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. If the noise persists, check for any loose parts or debris trapped in the sole.
