Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Highwood Slip On is an ideal choice for adults seeking a blend of professional aesthetics and the signature support of the Birkenstock brand. Designed as a mid-high Chelsea boot, these shoes offer effortless entry and all-day comfort thanks to their elastic panels and anatomically shaped footbed. While they provide excellent cushioning and stability for daily wear, users should be aware that the soft suede upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance compared to more rugged, weather-resistant leather alternatives.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the Highwood Slip On is made of suede and is not waterproof. We recommend using a quality suede protector spray to provide a barrier against light splashes.
How do I determine my size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally standard. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness and whether you like a snug or roomier fit.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the design. It is designed for longevity, but should not be removed or replaced by the user.
Are these suitable for formal events?
The Chelsea boot silhouette is versatile and works well for smart-casual events, though they are primarily designed for comfort and everyday wear.
What is the benefit of the cork in the sole?
Cork is naturally shock-absorbent and flexible, providing the comfort and support that defines the Birkenstock brand.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
Birkenstock footbeds require a break-in period. Wear them for 1-2 hours a day until the materials soften and adapt to your feet.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft nylon brush to restore the nap of the material by brushing in one consistent direction.
Elastic side panels are tight
This is normal for new boots; they will naturally stretch and relax with repeated use. Avoid pulling on the elastic too aggressively when putting the boots on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood Slip Ons last, start by wearing them for short periods to allow the footbed to mold to your unique arch and strike pattern. As these boots are made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray before their first use to guard against light moisture and dirt. For cleaning, use a suede brush to gently lift any dust or debris. Do not machine wash or submerge these boots in water. If they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to harden or the leather to crack.
