FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Highwood is made of suede, which is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide a basic layer of protection.
How do I determine my size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally consistent. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit for lace-up shoes and whether you plan to wear thick socks.
Can I use the Highwood for hiking?
These shoes are designed for everyday wear and casual walking. While the sole has good traction, they are not intended for rugged mountain hiking or heavy trails.
How should I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a stiff brush to gently flick the dried dirt off. Do not attempt to wipe wet mud, as it may push stains into the suede fibers.
Is the insole removable?
The Highwood features a standard integrated design. Please check the specific product footbed details if you require a custom orthotic fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove accumulated debris.
Minor scuff marks on the surface
Gently rub the area with a suede eraser; avoid using water or soap as this may damage the texture.
Shoes feel slightly stiff at first
This is normal for new suede footwear. Continue wearing them for short intervals to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Highwood shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede and footbed to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner.
- Water Protection: Apply a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against minor moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey tone and low-profile design make these shoes highly compatible with casual trousers, jeans, and seasonal layered outfits.
