FAQs
What type of leather is used for the upper?
The upper is made from smooth leather, providing a classic and durable finish.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
The Torhill LO features a fixed insole. While it provides comfort and support, it is not designed to be removable for custom orthotics.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the leather and maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp conditions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and have a rubber sole, offering some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What does 'G' width mean?
'G' width typically refers to a standard or medium width fitting for men's shoes, designed to accommodate most common foot shapes.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have tried them on with the socks you intend to wear. If still tight, consider if the 'G' width is suitable for your foot. Leather may stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness indicates an improper fit.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. For scuffs, a matching shoe polish can help to conceal marks after cleaning.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. If wear has smoothed the sole pattern significantly, traction may be reduced. Consider the surface conditions; rubber soles perform best on dry, non-oily surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable leather construction for longevity.
- Reliable traction from the rubber sole.

- Classic black color and smooth finish offer versatile styling options.
- Reputable Clarks brand ensures quality craftsmanship.
Cons
- The 'G' width may be too wide for narrow feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you try them on to confirm fit before regular use.
Compatibility: Designed as men's casual footwear, they pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire. The 'G' width fitting is standard for many comfortable casual shoes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Soles: Keep the rubber soles clean to maintain traction.
