FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The stretch jersey material offers a degree of flexibility that can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's best to try them on or consider other HEY DUDE models known for a wider fit.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these shoes. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, and air dry. Machine washing or drying can damage the materials and construction.
How do I clean the insoles?
The insoles are removable and can be hand washed with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the shoes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the HEY DUDE Wally Stretch Jersey trainers are not waterproof. They are made from breathable jersey material and are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the stretch jersey material?
The primary benefit is extreme comfort and flexibility, providing a soft, adaptive fit that feels like wearing a t-shirt for your feet.
Can I replace the elastic laces with regular laces?
While technically possible, the shoes are designed around the elastic lacing system for ease of use. Replacing them might alter the intended fit and style.
Are these good for walking long distances?
They are very comfortable for casual walking and everyday use due to their lightweight and cushioned design. For very long distances or hiking, specialized walking or hiking shoes with more robust support might be preferable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The elastic laces can be adjusted to achieve a more personalized fit. If the shoe feels generally too tight, ensure you have ordered the correct size. The stretch jersey material will adapt slightly, but fundamental fit is determined by size.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the heel collar is fully relaxed before inserting your foot. While designed for easy slip-on, some initial stiffness in the stretch material may occur. Gently pull the heel tab if available.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The insoles are removable. You can try wearing the shoes without the insole for a different feel, or replace them with your preferred aftermarket insoles for customized support and cushioning.
Material appears stretched out
The stretch jersey is designed for flexibility. If they feel excessively loose, ensure the laces are adequately tightened. For significant stretching over time, consider replacing the shoes or using thicker socks.
