Full details
The Birkenstock Highwood Low is a modern, lace-up everyday shoe designed for men who prioritize comfort during city walks, travel, and long days on their feet. Its standout feature is the anatomical, removable Deep Blue footbed that provides superior support and cushioning, though users should note that the premium leather upper requires a brief break-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Deep Blue footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Highwood Low is made from natural leather, which is water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you frequently walk in rain.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up construction allows for a wider range of adjustability compared to slip-on styles, accommodating various foot widths comfortably.
Is the footbed washable?
The footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but it should not be submerged in water or put in a washing machine as this may damage the materials.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
This is normal for Birkenstock cork-based or structured footbeds. Continue wearing them for short periods to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Leather upper is scuffed
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood Low shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals during the first week to allow the leather and the footbed to adapt to your unique gait.
- Leather Maintenance: Clean the leather surface with a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Footbed Care: Remove the Deep Blue footbed regularly to air it out. If it becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or dry out over time.
