Clarks Torhill women's: boat shoes, loafers and mules with chunky soles

A family of shoes, not just one model

Torhill is a collection of Clarks Originals built around the same base. Depending on the version, it takes the form of a lace-up boat shoe, a slip-on loafer, an open-back mule, or a trainer.

The names Bee, Moss, or Mule refer to these variants, which share the same sole and the same spirit.

What makes it recognizable

The Torhill stands out with its thick, cleated sole, made from rubber, inspired by the Big Gripper profile from years past from Clarks. It adds volume to the lower part of the silhouette and provides good grip on wet cobblestones.

The upper part follows the classic codes of the brand, Wallabee, Desert Boot, and Desert Trek, with a rounded toe and visible stitching.

The versions available

• Torhill boat shoe: lace-up all around, the most classic look.
• Torhill loafer: slip-on, for busy days.
• Torhill Mule: open back, for mid-season and home.
• Torhill trainer: a sportier version, for the city.

Suede or nubuck?

Suede, with its velvety touch, gives the Torhill a soft and warm look. It marks with water and requires protection before the first outing.

Nubuck, sanded more finely, is slightly more durable and ages well. Both should be brush-cleaned in the direction of the grain to maintain their appearance.

How to wear the Torhill?

Its thick sole balances out wide trousers, straight jeans, or cargo pants, which fall over the shoe without hiding it. Rolled-up jeans show off a colourful sock for a more personal touch.

With a midi skirt or a knitted dress, the Torhill adds a relaxed, slightly masculine touch, very current.

What size to choose?

Start with your usual size in Clarks. For the loafer or mule version, which lacks laces for adjustment, a narrow foot might want to check the fit at the heel.

The size guide on the product page gives the exact match in European or UK sizes.

A shoe for every day

Its rubber sole cushions footsteps on the pavement and grips on damp floors. The Torhill is suitable for city days, walking trips, and weekends.

For heavy rain, opt for a treated leather ankle boot: suede remains sensitive to water.

Maintaining your Torhill

Apply a water-repellent spray on the suede or nubuck before wearing it. Brush it dry after each outing, and clean the sole with warm soapy water using a firmer brush.

A light stain on the suede can be removed with a special eraser, gently rubbed.

The Torhill in everyday life

The Torhill adapts to busy days: walking trips, errands, weekend outings. Its thick sole keeps your feet away from the cold and damp ground, and the suede upper stays comfortable even after several hours.

The loafer version, without laces, is easy to slip on in one motion, handy when you're in a hurry in the morning.

The colours of the Torhill for women

Sand, taupe, and brown are the easiest to wear, whether with denim or natural colours. Black goes better with an urban, dark outfit.

More unique shades, like moss green or burgundy, become the highlight of a neutral outfit.
