FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Hey Dude Wendy Stretch Mesh features a relaxed fit and a stretch mesh upper, which can accommodate a wider range of foot shapes. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash the removable insole and wipe the upper with a damp cloth.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the foam insoles are removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the stretch mesh upper?
Gently wipe the stretch mesh with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Are these shoes good for walking long distances?
Due to their lightweight nature and flexible sole, they are comfortable for extended casual wear and walking. However, they may lack the robust support needed for very long-distance hiking or athletic activities.
How do the elastic laces work?
The elastic laces are designed for a slip-on experience. They provide a snug fit without needing to be tied, allowing you to easily slide the shoes on and off.
What makes them 'travel ready'?
Their lightweight construction, easy slip-on design, and packable nature make them ideal for travel, minimizing weight in luggage and allowing for quick changes or comfortable wear during transit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
The relaxed fit is a design feature. For a snugger feel, ensure the elastic laces are appropriately tensioned or consider adding a cushioned insole for extra volume.
Mesh upper getting dirty
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For deeper cleaning, hand wash the removable insole separately and air dry both parts.
Odors developing
Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.
Insole losing cushioning
The original foam insole is designed for comfort. If it loses its cushioning significantly, it can be replaced with a new compatible insole.
