FAQs
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the Contour Cushion leather footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height is approximately 40 mm (1.5 inches), providing a comfortable and stable lift.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
> Info needed: [While the adjustable laces offer some flexibility, specific width availability for this model would need to be confirmed. Clarks often offers different width fittings for certain styles.]
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in rainy or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance. Consider a water-resistant spray for light protection, but avoid heavy rain.
What is a TR outsole?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a durable material known for being lightweight, flexible, and providing good grip, making it ideal for comfortable everyday wear.
What are the keychains for?
The two embossed keychains (one with the Clarks logo, one with 'Torhill') are decorative additions that pay tribute to Clarks' heritage and the Torhill series' design inspiration.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as directed.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot for optimal comfort and security. The laces are designed for a personalized fit.
Experiencing discomfort or lack of arch support.
While the Contour Cushion footbed offers excellent support, ensure it's properly seated. As it's removable, you can also replace it with custom orthotics if needed for tailored comfort.
Concerned about wear in wet conditions.
Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in rain or wet environments. Apply a waterproof suede protector spray regularly to add a layer of resistance, though this does not make them fully waterproof.

Care
Given the premium suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Torhill Bee shoes.
- Water Protection: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically.
- Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
