FAQs

How do I clean the suede on my Clarks Torhill Bee Flats?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For dry stains or scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on the suede unless it's a specific suede cleaning product applied as directed.

Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?

Suede is not naturally waterproof and can be damaged by water. It is highly recommended to treat your flats with a suede protector spray before wearing them, especially if there's a chance of rain. For heavy rain, it's best to choose alternative footwear.

Do Clarks Torhill Bee Flats run true to size?

Clarks generally adheres to standard UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine comfort.

Can I wear these flats with socks?

Yes, the Torhill Bee Flats can be comfortably worn with various types of socks, including no-show socks for a seamless look, or thin ankle socks for added warmth or style, depending on your preference and outfit.

What is the material of the sole?

The Clarks Torhill Bee Flats feature a distinctive ribbed gum sole, which is made from durable rubber. This material provides good traction and flexibility.

How do I protect my suede flats from damage?

Beyond using a protector spray, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat. When not in use, store them in a shoe bag or box away from dust and humidity. Using shoe trees can also help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Gently brush the entire surface of the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in one direction to lift the nap and restore its original texture. For stubborn areas, apply light pressure.

Water spots or stains on the suede

Lightly dampen the entire affected area of the suede with clean water using a clean cloth or spray bottle (do not saturate). Then, blot dry with a clean, absorbent cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once completely dry, brush the suede to restore the nap.

Flats feel uncomfortable or lack support after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct UK size; ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort. If additional support is needed, consider adding slim, comfortable arch support inserts or cushioned insoles designed for flats.

Gum sole looks dirty or scuffed

Wipe the gum sole clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the rubber.

Care Instructions for Suede: Maintaining the quality of your suede flats is crucial for longevity.

  1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray's instructions.
  2. Brushing: Use a suede brush regularly to remove loose dirt and dust and to restore the nap (the raised fibers) of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or dry dirt, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) to gently rub away the mark. Afterwards, brush the area.
  4. Wet Stains: If the suede gets wet, do not rub. Blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading. Once dry, brush to restore the nap.
  5. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
  6. Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
