FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Highwood boots?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow boots to air dry away from heat.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
These boots are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Suede is not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow can damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
How long does the cork footbed typically take to break in?
The break-in period can vary. Most users find the cork footbed starts to mold to their foot shape within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Highwood boots have a standard width. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, designed to provide durable traction.
Can I replace the cork footbed if it wears out?
Yes, Birkenstock cork footbeds are often replaceable. You can typically purchase replacement footbeds and have them professionally fitted or install them yourself.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is also recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth and follow the cleaner's instructions. Allow to air dry and brush again.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.
Ensure laces are not frayed. If they continue to slip, try a double knot or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the suede and cork footbed to conform to your feet. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also improve comfort during the break-in period.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
While the lug sole provides traction, very smooth or wet surfaces can still be slick. Be cautious in such conditions and ensure the sole is free of mud or debris.

Care Advice:
- Suede Care: To maintain the suede's appearance, use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Always allow the suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
