Birkenstock Highwood Lace
The sandal brand ventures into full-fledged closed footwear - Birkenstock Highwood Lace
A brand known primarily for its cork-soled sandals is now betting on a completely different segment – a closed, moccasin-inspired shoe with laces. Birkenstock Highwood Lace is proof of how Birkenstock is expanding its expertise beyond summer footwear towards a year-round, more robust silhouette. The model builds on the craftsmanship of moccasins while staying true to the philosophy that the brand is famous for – anatomically shaped foot support. It’s a clear signal that Birkenstock wants to remain relevant even outside the warm months.
History: a new chapter in closed footwear
The Highwood Moc Lace Low, from which Highwood Lace is derived, was introduced on February 19, 2026 as an extension of the popular Highwood shoe. Birkenstock presented the model directly as an emphasis on its expertise in closed footwear – the silhouette draws from the craftsmanship of the classic moccasin, with visible stitching that gives the shoe an urban, casual character. It is made from high-quality suede or grain leather, which will develop a unique patina over time.
Technology: Deep Blue insole and rubber outsole
What makes the Highwood Lace comfortable as a full-fledged closed shoe are these elements:
- Deep Blue insole: A multi-layer system that helps evenly distribute foot weight, reduces concentrated pressure points, and maintains the natural roll of the foot while walking – plus, it features a moisture-wicking lining inside.
- Cork PU midsole: Combines the classic cork base of Birkenstock with polyurethane for better structural stability in a closed shoe.
- Reinforced outsole with distinct tread: Flexible and durable, designed for reliable traction on various surfaces.
Design
Visible stitching and a moccasin toe give the shoe a crafted, casual look – for the spring/summer 2026 season, the suede version comes in four colors (Carafe, Gray Taupe, New Navy, Pink Clay), while the grain leather is available in classic shades of chocolate and black.
Who the model is for
The Highwood Lace is a lifestyle silhouette for you if you're looking for a closed shoe with anatomical foot support for year-round wear – ideal for Birkenstock fans who want the same comfort philosophy beyond the summer sandal season.
Materials
Are you a fan of tried-and-tested silhouettes and perfect workmanship? Then keep an eye out, because few brands on Footshop date their roots back to the 18th century. For almost 200 years, Germany's Birkenstock was an orthopaedic shoe brand, but it wasn't until the 1960s that it became a global phenomenon, when American Margot Fraiser became so enamored with the comfort of these shoes that she decided to expand production to include San Francisco. The open toed shoe with a cork sole quickly became highly sought after and success was not long in coming.
