FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Torhill Bee design?
The Torhill Bee is inspired by Clarks' archival designs, particularly the bold ribbed outsole from the '90s 'Big Gripper' profile and the iconic Wallabee™ silhouette.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Torhill Bee features a streamlined lace-up design that allows for some adjustability. However, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible.
How do I clean the cow print pattern?
For the cow print areas, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern or the leather.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of a durable rubber material, featuring a distinctive bold ribbed design.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are not specifically waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper of the Torhill Bee is leather.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather on arrival
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally soften and mold to your feet. Consider using a leather conditioner after the initial break-in period.
Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces
While the ribbed outsole offers grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Water spots on leather
Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a leather cleaner to address the spots and follow with a leather conditioner. Consider using a water-repellent spray for future protection.
