FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Torhill Lo?
The Torhill Lo features a premium, textured leather for its upper construction, providing durability and a refined aesthetic.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, the shoes are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and ensure they are properly dried afterwards.
What is the fit like?
The Torhill Lo offers a standard fit with a lace-up closure for adjustability. The padded collar provides a snug, comfortable feel around the ankle. A break-in period may be necessary for optimal comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Torhill Lo is primarily designed for smart-casual wear. While the black leather offers a degree of sophistication, the chunky sole may be too casual for very formal events.
How do I maintain the leather's appearance?
Regularly clean with a damp cloth, use a dedicated leather cleaner for tougher marks, and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. Leather will also naturally stretch slightly with wear.
Leather scuff marks
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consider a leather repair kit or professional restoration.
Slipping despite lugged sole
Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues on exceptionally slick surfaces, exercise caution.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear with appropriate socks. The padded collar should offer comfort, but allow a break-in period if new.
