FAQs
What material is the Torhill Lo shoe made from?
The Torhill Lo shoe features a premium leather upper.
How does the outsole design benefit the wearer?
The bold, ribbed outsole is inspired by Clarks' 'Big Gripper' profile and provides good grip and durability.
Is this shoe suitable for hiking or rugged terrain?
No, the Torhill Lo is designed as a casual shoe for everyday wear and is not intended for heavy-duty outdoor activities.
How should I clean my leather Torhill Lo shoes?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner for stains. Condition periodically to maintain the leather's quality.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Based on typical sizing for Clarks, it is generally recommended to purchase your usual shoe size. However, individual fit can vary.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with a protector spray, these are primarily casual shoes and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the inspiration behind the Torhill Lo design?
The design is inspired by Clarks' archives, specifically the 90s 'Big Gripper' profile, and models its contours on the iconic Wallabee shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot.
Leather scuffs or scratches appear
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color leather polish or cream to conceal the damage.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the ribbed outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be hindering traction.
Slightly uncomfortable around the ankle
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thicker socks might help resolve initial discomfort.

Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for brown leather can be used sparingly.

- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear or in wet conditions.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole: Brush any dirt or debris from the ribbed outsole using a stiff brush to maintain its grip.
