FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Birkenstock shoes generally offer a generous fit, though those with very wide feet may need to ensure the length provides enough volume.

Can I wear these without socks?

Yes, but wearing them with thin, breathable liners can help manage moisture and protect the leather footbed.

Are they waterproof?

No, these are made of leather and are not intended for use in heavy rain or deep puddles.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Your toes should have enough room to wiggle, and your heel should feel secure in the back without slipping out while walking.

What is the best way to store these loafers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight initially

Leather will soften and stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with light socks indoors for short intervals.

Visible scuffs on the leather

Use a leather-matching cream polish or a specialized leather cleaner to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on loafers, no special setup is required; however, you should ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot shape, as sizing can vary slightly by brand. To keep your Highwood Loafers in top condition, wipe them down regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust. If the leather begins to look dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, and if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from hardening.
