FAQs

Are the footbeds machine washable?

No, it is recommended to hand-clean the removable footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry.

Can I replace the original footbed with custom orthotics?

Yes, because the footbed is removable, you can replace it with your own custom orthotics if they fit within the dimensions of the shoe.

Is the leather water-resistant?

While high-quality aniline leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray if you frequently walk in damp conditions.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Birkenstock sizes are generally consistent, but it is advised to use your standard UK size. Since these are leather, they may stretch slightly over time.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The anatomically shaped footbed provides a generous fit, but individual comfort may vary. Try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear most often.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels stiff during the first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather footwear. Gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

Difficulty inserting the removable footbed

Ensure the footbed is aligned correctly with the heel cup and that no debris is inside the shoe before sliding it back into place.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Use a high-quality leather cream or matching shoe polish to buff out light scuffs and restore the natural sheen of the aniline finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Highwood shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Break-in: Wear your shoes for short periods at home to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Leather Maintenance: Clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Footbed Care: The Deep Blue Footbed is removable. If it becomes damp, remove it and let it air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the loafer when not in use.
