FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Torhill Bee shoes are made with premium suede, which is not inherently waterproof. It is highly recommended to treat them with a protective suede spray to help repel water and stains.

Can I remove the footbed?

Yes, the Contour Cushion leather footbed is removable. This allows for airing, cleaning, or the insertion of custom orthotics if preferred, though the integrated footbed offers excellent support.

How do I clean the suede upper?

For general cleaning, use a suede brush. For spots or scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water for cleaning unless specifically designed for suede.

What is the heel height of the Torhill Bee?

The heel height of the Torhill Bee shoe is 40mm (approximately 1.5 inches), providing a comfortable lift.

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks shoes are generally known for being true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The adjustable laces also allow for some customization.

What materials are used in the Torhill Bee shoes?

The upper is 100% suede, the lining is 100% textile, the cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber (TR outsole).

Do these shoes come with any accessories?

Yes, the Torhill Bee shoes come with two embossed keychains, one with the Clarks logo and one with the Torhill logo, celebrating the brand's heritage.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush with short, brisk strokes to lift the nap and restore its original texture. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace-up fastening. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the foot for a secure yet comfortable fit. The removable footbed can also be taken out temporarily to provide more room if needed.

Outsole seems slippery on certain surfaces.

While the TR outsole provides good grip, some very smooth or wet surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Exercise caution on highly polished or icy surfaces.

Care

Given the premium suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity:

  1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off debris. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
  3. Stains: Address stains immediately. Dab, do not rub. For liquid stains, blot with a clean cloth. For oil-based stains, consider professional suede cleaning.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and light. Avoid crushing the suede.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
