Does this make me old? HeyDude (1 Viewer)

[massraider]

Just ordered a pair. 25% off with code SUMMER. 10% back from Ratuken. 10% back on my Chase CC. Around $40 delivered. Worth a shot.

At that price, shoulda bought 3 pair. Why not?

 

[mr. furley]

I'm drawn to these HeyDude shoes. Saw tons of them in Nashville last weekend. Everyone says they are very comfortable. I'm afraid to ask @offdee :style:

these things are everywhere around here. not a fan, personally, but it feels like everyone 30+ has a pair and wears them at every possible opportunity.

Are you talking about this particular brand or just the style?

I've been considering something similar.

both

they're everywhere here. i've not tried a pair on so can't comment on the comfort level... only that they seem very popular.

 

[Mookie Gizzy]

Wife keeps nagging me to get a pair. They look like paper to me. Pass

2021's version of Crocs. Don't do it.

speaking of footwear that's everywhere

if i had to put a ballpark figure on the number of HS kids i see wearing them every day when dropping my kid off it would be north of 60%

Are Allbirds the waterproof shoes? They are made from wool or something? I think I heard ads for them on the Smartless podcast.

I don't know about waterproof, but they are made from wool and recycled material. I think they can get wet, but dry really rapidly because they're wool. They don't stink if you wear them without socks, really. And they were comfortable. I still have them and like them.

Wool typically dries slowly, but retains warmth when wet. And doesn’t stink. Looks like some of their shoes are made from wood, some wool, and others a mix of the two, “Trino“.

Same here. They spend a small fortune putting Jibbitz charms on them too.

They wear them everywhere even the gym which doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe if they're just lifting weights I could give it a pass but when I saw them on the treadmill, I was like nope.

 

[Zow]

Sadly I thought it was going to be about this

Lol. That was my first thought too. I watched way too much of that crap. Christine Taylor =

I once sat next to her in church* when I was a teenager and then had to go to confession for like an hour.

*I was my sister's sponsor for Confirmation and she sponsored the girl that was alphabetically next to my sister so I got to sit next to Christine Taylor by such transitive property.

Wow. Learning a lot about teen habits today. Way too much knowledge for me to comprehend. Decision-making at its finest.

 

[Zow]

Also, hate to admit it, but I own a pair of these and wear them around the house/in my yard.

A softball buddy of mine basically demanded I try a pair on. They are almost unbelievably comfortable so I gave in.

I feel like I just betrayed @offdee

27 year old me is disappointed in me as well, amongst other things.

Yeah that's dumb. There's no support in the shoe whatsoever.

They're pure comfort and ease and that's it.

 

[The Z Machine]

Do you rock them with khakis with cuffs and a crease?

 

[massraider]

Is there a matching set for the wife (Hey Gal!)

Do you strap them on for the vigorous mall walk (why don't they open till 10 am? I've been up for 6 hours??)

 

[coyote5]

My son got me a pair for Father's day. I'd never heard of em, but they definitely are comfortable. Stylish? who knows.

 

[WDIK2]

Bought a pair a few years ago after hearing everyone rave about the comfort. I usually wear a 10.5 so tried 10 at the store. Way too small. Tried 11, still small. Tried 12 and they were falling off. Went with the 11s. My big toes about poke out the end and the back tears my heel up. Maybe I got a defective pair. Haven't tried another pair and probably won't.

My wife has a pair and she likes them. I might get a pair eventually for the beach or whatever.

They look much better than flip flops.

Saw a guy sitting next to me yesterday at a pub, looking at his hairy fungus encrusted toes in flip flops was gross!

 

[Zow]

I know. You know. We all know. And the the answer is clearly no.

But, again, they're very comfortable and they slip on and off so easily that sometimes those benefits outweigh style. They're like the sweatpants of shoes.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I know. You know. We all know. And the the answer is clearly no.

They look better with shorts and a T-shirt than most footwear really. They’re meant to be casual.

I'd go with "some."

there is also a wide variety in looks and styles of these.

I have a pair that basically look like sneakers -

something like this in navy

[eoMMan]

They are definitely better looking than crocs, that's for sure.

I clicked on this thread and have now seen numerous advertisements in my feeds.


My 14 yr old has 2 pairs but like the OP, I feel 2 old for them.

Anyway... they arrive today. Will report back.

I wore mine yesterday for first time. Very comfortable. I get the appeal.

How low, exactly, is the bar for good-looking footwear?

Cause better than Crocs is not anything I want to say describing what is on my feet.

Review:

Shoes are ultra light and comfortable. Don't provide much if any arch support. I usually wear an 11.5-12 and ordered a 12. Should have gone with a 13 as they seem a little snug length wise. I also chose a color that is too light. They'll be good as a slip-on for errands, etc. Not as thrilled as I would like to be.

 

[Payne]

Anyone eho believes these are old man shoes are out of touch themselves. Plenty of kids / teens wearing these.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I wear Reefs around here in Florida. Reef also makes shoes similar to these and so many other shoe companies do as well.
I don't wear these but they seem to be popular in the warmer weather areas I frequent
They would appear to be light and I would hope allow for air to move thru them more easily than a shoe made out of leather.

 

[Psychopav]

No, asking who still has cable without including satellite providers makes you old. Hella old.

How much are they running? Are you supposed to go sockless with them or no show socks?

I tried both no-shows and sockless. Preferred no-shows since they were small and felt like my toes were poking out the front.

I got mine for around $40 after 25% discount code, 10% Ratuken and 10% Chase Reward.

FWIW... I actually just initiated an exchange for this

Seems like you are either team hey dudes or team crocs

Team flip flops here.

Hey Dudes!

(couldn't resist)

I wouldn't trust a shoe that has a name with which you can address your friends.

 

[belljr]

Team flip flops here.

Also rock slides.

 

[UOFI_316]

Sadly I thought it was going to be about this

I started listening to a Podcast hosted by Christine Taylor and the dude from Hey Dude. They talk to other stars of the 90s. So seeing "Hey Dude" in the title I sang the entire theme song to myself. I can remember sitting on the floor of the living room and watching that show.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Hey Dudes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>sandals/flip flops.....

This is highly dependent on where you live. In the coastal south, sandals are highly preferable to the Hey Dude floppy shoes.

 

[massraider]

Hey Dudes!

Really don't know how one can leave the house this 4th of July in regular old slides now that you know that Crocs has made Official Taco Bell slides.

Slides, from Crocs. Taco Bell.

Glorious.

Hey Dudes for 40 dollars more. Palm Tree logo might give them a little more summer cred though.
