FAQs
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
While the suede is high quality, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent permanent water staining.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface debris. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede leather.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Derby lace-up system provides excellent adjustability, which can accommodate various foot widths effectively.
Do I need to break them in?
As with most high-quality footwear, the suede will soften and mold to your specific foot shape after a few wears.
Are these shoes appropriate for formal events?
They are ideal for business-casual settings, though they may be considered too casual for strictly formal black-tie events.
What is the best way to store the Highwood shoes?
Use wooden shoe trees to help the leather dry out properly and maintain the structured shape of the moc-toe.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing water spots.
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once completely dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture.
The laces feel loose during the day.
Ensure the Derby lacing is adjusted evenly. If the laces continue to loosen, consider a double knot or replacing them with higher-friction cotton laces.
Surface dirt is stuck in the suede fibers.
Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe brush. Gently scrub in one direction to lift the dirt without crushing the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood shoes last, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing your suede shoes for the first time, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. This creates a barrier against unexpected moisture.
- Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush after each wear to remove surface dust and revive the nap of the suede.
- Stain Management: For localized spots, use a specialized suede eraser. Avoid using water or standard cleaning soaps, as these can permanently alter the texture of the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue suede over time. Use shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity and shape of the moc-toe box.
