FAQs
What material is the Torhill Lo made from?
The Torhill Lo features a premium suede upper, a textile lining, and a leather sock. The sole is made from TR (thermoplastic rubber) with an EVA filler.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the Torhill Lo has a moulded, removable leather Contour Cushion footbed that provides support and can be cleaned or replaced if needed.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustment. However, the fit is generally considered standard. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult size guides for specific width information.
What is the main inspiration behind the Torhill Lo design?
The design is inspired by Clarks' archives, specifically the '90s Big Gripper outsole, and draws shape inspiration from the iconic Wallabee™ shoe, blending heritage with contemporary style.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some traction, suede is not naturally water-resistant. It is recommended to protect the shoes with a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain the suede's condition.
What kind of socks are best with these shoes?
Given the leather sock lining, breathable socks such as cotton or wool blends are recommended for optimal comfort and to help manage moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally and then brush to restore the nap.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to soften and conform to your foot. Walking indoors on carpeted surfaces can help break them in gently. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug, but not tight, fit.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure the laces are of good quality and not excessively worn. You can try a different lacing knot, such as a double knot, for added security.
Outsole traction seems reduced
Clean the grooves of the ribbed outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Avoid wearing on excessively wet or slippery surfaces where maximum traction is required.
