FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The HEY DUDE Wally Stretch shoes are designed primarily for casual comfort and light walking. They do not offer the structured support and cushioning required for intense athletic activities like running or sports.
How do I clean the stretch jersey material?
You can clean the stretch jersey upper and lining by wiping it with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash these shoes. Machine washing can potentially damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, and always air dry.
What is the benefit of the removable insole?
The removable insole allows for easy cleaning and drying. It also provides the option to replace it with your own custom orthotics if you require specialized support.
How do the bungee laces work?
The bungee laces are elastic and designed to provide a secure fit without the need for traditional tying. They allow the shoe to function as a slip-on while maintaining a snug feel.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The stretch jersey material offers a flexible and adaptable fit, which can be accommodating for some individuals with wider feet. However, the overall shape is a standard low shoe profile.
What is the primary advantage of the Wally Stretch series?
The primary advantage is the exceptional softness and lightweight, travel-friendly design, offering a relaxed feel akin to wearing a comfortable t-shirt.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
The bungee laces can be adjusted. Gently pull or loosen the laces through the eyelets to achieve your desired fit. Ensure the insole is correctly positioned.
Discomfort after extended wear.
While designed for comfort, prolonged standing or walking might reveal a need for more structured support. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended casual use. Consider using custom orthotics if you require additional arch support, ensuring they fit within the shoe alongside the removable insole.
Outer sole appears worn quickly.
The soft outsole is designed for flexibility and lightness. If significant wear is noticed on abrasive surfaces, consider reserving these shoes for lighter-duty casual use and opt for more robust footwear for tougher conditions.
Difficulty removing the insole.
Gently pull the insole upwards from the heel. If it feels stuck, try wiggling it slightly. Ensure no debris is lodged underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the condition of your Wally Stretch shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the stretch jersey upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Insole Care: The cushioned insoles are removable. Hand wash them with cool water and mild detergent, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
