FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the anatomical footbed provides excellent support, though they are best suited for urban walking rather than hiking.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
While not strictly required, using a leather protectant spray can help repel water and prevent stains.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the shoe design; for maintenance, we recommend keeping the interior clean and dry.
What is the best way to clean the outer leather?
Wipe with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and buff with a soft dry cloth.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are made of leather and are not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I know if the size 10.5 will fit?
Birkenstock sizes are generally consistent with standard UK sizing, but we recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to our size chart.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness during first few wears
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Surface scuffing
Apply a matching black leather conditioner or cream to buff out minor scuffs and maintain the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood Loafers last, it is important to follow proper care protocols. As these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged soaking. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Use a soft cloth or a specialized leather brush to remove dust and dirt. For cleaning, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for surface stains. Always ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the arch support is positioned specifically for the intended foot shape; a UK 10.5 provides a standard fit for this model.
