FAQs

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the Deep Blue Footbed is removable, making it compatible with many third-party custom orthotic inserts.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The anatomically shaped footbed provides a generous fit, but as they are crafted from leather, they will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot shape over time.

How do I clean the aniline leather?

Use a soft, dry cloth for regular maintenance. For cleaning, use a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner suitable for high-quality aniline leather.

Is this shoe waterproof?

The leather is high quality but not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to walk in wet conditions.

What is the sizing like compared to other Birkenstocks?

The Highwood follows standard adult UK sizing; however, since it is a closed-toe shoe, ensure you have enough room in the toe box for comfort.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff initially.

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for short durations around the house to help the material conform to your foot.

Footbed is damp after a long day.

Remove the Deep Blue Footbed and air it out separately from the shoe to ensure it dries thoroughly.

Outer sole traction feels reduced.

Clean the tread pattern with a soft brush to remove pebbles or debris that may be obstructing the grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Anatomically shaped footbed provides excellent orthopedic support.
  • Removable footbed allows for custom orthotics if needed.
  • High-quality aniline leather is durable and aesthetically versatile.
  • Rubber outsole offers strong traction and grip.
  • Lightweight construction prevents leg and foot fatigue.

Cons

  • Leather requires regular care and conditioning to prevent cracking.

  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor hiking or rugged terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Highwood shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
  2. Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to maintain the aniline finish and prevent the leather from drying out.
  3. Footbed Maintenance: If the footbed becomes damp from wear, remove it and allow it to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help maintain the loafer's shape over time.
  5. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; for stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally.
