FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock shoes generally offer a generous fit, but the Highwood Loafer is structured. It may take longer to break in if you have wider feet.
Can I replace the insole?
The footbed is integrated into the design. We recommend using the provided footbed for the intended support experience.
Is this shoe waterproof?
While the leather provides some protection against light rain, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture.
What is the best way to store these loafers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using wooden shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Are these appropriate for formal events?
Their sleek design makes them appropriate for smart-casual and business-casual events, though they may not replace a traditional patent leather dress shoe for black-tie affairs.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for 1-2 hours at a time around the house with medium-thickness socks to gradually break in the material.
The fit feels slightly tight.
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the leather feels too snug, consult a professional cobbler about controlled stretching.
Scuff marks on the black surface.
Use a black shoe cream or wax polish to restore the pigment and buff with a soft horsehair brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, they may feel slightly firm right out of the box. Wear them indoors for short durations for the first few days to allow the leather to conform to your unique foot shape. Compatibility-wise, the UK 9.5 size is standard for men's footwear; ensure you are wearing socks of appropriate thickness for your intended environment. To maintain the black leather, use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the surface supple and hydrated, and wipe away dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent buildup.
