Product Information

Full details

The Clarks Torhill Bee, specifically the Animal - Brown - UK 5 variant, is designed for adult females seeking a stylish, heritage-inspired casual shoe with a contemporary edge. Its key benefit lies in the unique blend of archival design elements with modern comfort and traction, offered by its bold ribbed outsole and supportive Contour Cushion insole. A potential caveat for some users might be the distinct cow print pattern, which, while a defining feature, may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Torhill Bee features an adjustable lace-up design, which allows for some customization of fit. However, they are designed with a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on before purchasing or consult sizing charts.

How do I clean the cow print pattern?

The cow print is part of the leather finish. Clean the leather using a soft, damp cloth for general maintenance. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for finished leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the TPR outsole offers some slip resistance, the nubuck upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.

What is the heel height?

The heel height for the Torhill Bee is approximately 40 mm.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the Contour Cushion insole is moulded and removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom insoles if desired.

What does 'heritage-inspired' mean for this shoe?

It means the design takes cues from Clarks' historical shoe styles, like the Wallabee and '90s Big Gripper, reinterpreting them with modern materials and construction for today's fashion.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is made from light Tan nubuck, which is a type of leather known for its soft, velvety texture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more relaxed fit. If the shoe is fundamentally too small, consider if a different size would be more appropriate.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Nubuck material looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the texture. For persistent marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions carefully.

Insole not providing enough support

Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If additional support is needed, consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic insole that fits your needs.

Cons

  • Nubuck material requires specific care to maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Torhill Bee shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply untie the laces and adjust them to your preferred fit. The moulded insoles are designed for immediate comfort.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult females and are ideal for casual wear. They pair well with jeans, skirts, dresses, and other casual attire. Sizing is provided in UK standard (UK 5 in this case).

Care:

  • Nubuck Upper: Clean with a suede or nubuck brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid using water directly on the nubuck.
  • Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Insole: The Contour Cushion insole is removable and can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the material.
