FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the rubber sole provides good support, but they are primarily designed for casual wear and urban environments.
Does the shoe size run true to standard?
Birkenstock sizes generally run true, but they are designed to accommodate a natural foot shape, providing extra room in the toe box.
Can the insoles be removed?
The construction is designed as a cohesive unit; it is generally recommended to keep the original footbed for optimal support.
Are these waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray if worn in wet weather.
Are there other colors available in this model?
Yes, the Highwood Moc series is available in various colors and material finishes like suede, depending on the specific seasonal availability.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel upon initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Consider using a double knot or replacing with waxed cotton laces for better friction retention.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Apply a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood Moc Lace Low shoes maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot width without creating pressure points on the top of the foot.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid heavy saturation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For the rubber soles, use a brush with mild soapy water to remove debris trapped in the tread.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather over time.
