FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Highwood Moc Lace Low features a round toe which generally offers more room than a pointed toe. However, Birkenstock shoes are known for their anatomical footbed. It is recommended to try them on or consult Birkenstock's specific sizing guide for width information.
How long does the leather typically take to break in?
The break-in period can vary per individual, but most users find the leather becomes more comfortable within a few wears. Wearing them for short periods initially can help ease the process.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
What type of socks are recommended?
You can wear these shoes with a variety of socks, including thin dress socks or casual socks. The choice depends on your comfort preference and the occasion.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Is this shoe suitable for standing all day?
Yes, Birkenstock shoes are designed with comfort and support in mind, making them generally suitable for extended wear and standing throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate socks for your intended use. Leather will mold to your foot over time; consider professional stretching if discomfort persists after break-in.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate and protect the leather. Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth for scuff marks, following product instructions.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction on most common surfaces. For wet or highly polished surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.
