FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

No, the Clarks Torhill Hi Suede Ankle Boots are not inherently waterproof. Suede is a delicate material that can be damaged by water. We highly recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them to help repel light moisture and stains.

How should I clean the suede material?

For daily care, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

Do these boots fit true to size?

Clarks generally fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for sock thickness.

Can I wear these boots in winter?

These boots are suitable for dry, mild winter conditions. However, due to the suede material, they are not recommended for heavy snow, slush, or extremely wet environments without significant protective treatment.

What is the best way to store these boots?

Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees made of cedar wood can help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's shape over time.

What does 'ribbed outsole' mean?

The 'ribbed outsole' refers to the sole's distinct pattern of raised lines or ridges. In the Torhill Hi, this design is inspired by 90s styles, providing both a unique aesthetic and improved grip.

Are there other colors or materials available for the Torhill Hi?

Yes, the Torhill series often comes in various colors and materials like leather or different suede shades. Please check the product listings for other available variants.

Troubleshooting

My suede boots look dusty or dirty.

Use a dry suede brush to gently brush off dirt and dust. Brush in the direction of the nap for best results. For persistent marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

The boots feel a bit stiff or uncomfortable at first.

Suede footwear often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for increasing durations over a few days to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

My suede boots got wet and now they look stained or stiff.

Blot any excess water immediately with a clean cloth. Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

How do I remove oil or grease stains from the suede?

Apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to the stain immediately. Let it sit for several hours or overnight to absorb the oil, then brush it off gently with a suede brush.

The laces keep coming undone.

Ensure you are tying the laces securely. Consider using a 'surgeon's knot' for added security, or double-knotting them if necessary. Check the laces for wear and replace if frayed.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium suede of your Torhill Hi boots.

  • Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and scuff marks. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
