Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Highwood Moc Low Shoe is designed for the modern adult who requires a refined, professional aesthetic without sacrificing the anatomical support Birkenstock is known for. This shoe blends a formal moc-toe silhouette with the brand's iconic cork footbed, making it an ideal choice for office settings or smart-casual outings. While it offers superior comfort for all-day wear, users should be aware that the suede upper requires dedicated care to maintain its texture and appearance compared to more rugged leather alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Derby lacing system provides excellent adjustability, which makes these shoes more accommodating for various widths compared to slip-on styles.
Can I replace the insoles?
The cork footbed is integrated into the design of the shoe and is not intended to be replaced with custom orthotics.
Is the suede waterproof?
No, the suede is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light splashes, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the interior microfiber lining is designed for comfort, though wearing light, breathable socks can help with moisture management.
Do these run true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally consistent, but because they are designed to support the foot's natural shape, ensure there is slight room in front of your toes.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
The cork footbed is designed to break in over time; wear them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in one consistent direction.
Shoe feels loose during the day
The suede material may stretch slightly with wear. Re-tie the Derby laces at the mid-foot to maintain a secure lock on the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Highwood Mocs, adjust the laces to ensure your heel is seated comfortably in the heel cup. Because the footbed is made of natural cork, it will take a few days for the material to mold to the unique contours of your foot. To care for your suede shoes, invest in a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can cause the cork or leather to lose its shape. Periodically applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray will significantly extend the lifespan of the material.
