FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the Highwood features an anatomically designed footbed for comfort, though they are categorized as casual shoes rather than dedicated performance hiking footwear.
How do I determine my size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally standard. It is recommended to choose your usual UK adult shoe size; if you are between sizes, consider your preference for sock thickness.
Can I use these in the rain?
While durable, they are not waterproof. If you have suede versions, apply a water-repellent spray, but avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the standard Derby lace-up system allows you to replace the laces with any standard shoe lace of the appropriate length and style.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, the high-quality materials and supportive footbed often require a few wears to fully conform to your unique foot shape for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and gradually tighten them to find a comfortable level of tension that doesn't restrict circulation.
Footbed feels stiff
Birkenstock footbeds are designed to mold to your feet over time. Wear them with socks for the first few days to aid the process.
Suede material looks dusty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove loose dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When you first receive the shoes, ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific instep height to avoid pressure points.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the footbed and upper material to adapt to the shape of your feet.
- Care for Leather/Suede: Depending on the specific material of your pair, use a specialized leather conditioner or a suede brush to maintain the finish. Avoid deep saturation with water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair exceptionally well with chinos, dark denim, or tailored casual trousers.
