Product Information
Full details
The Hey Dude Austin Slide Classic is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile, stylish platform sandal for everyday summer wear. These sandals offer superior underfoot comfort thanks to their signature squishy, yoga-mat-like footbed and memory foam-lined straps; however, users should be mindful that the 65mm platform height provides significant elevation, which may require a brief adjustment period for those accustomed to flat footwear.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the EVA material is moisture-resistant, they are not intended for submersion in water. If they get wet, air dry them completely.
Can I wear these for long walks?
They are designed for everyday casual wear and provide great comfort for walking around town, though they are not athletic performance sandals.
Does the platform height make them heavy?
No, Hey Dude utilizes specialized lightweight outsole materials to ensure the shoe remains airy and easy to walk in.
How do I clean the memory foam straps?
Use a damp, soft cloth to spot clean any surface marks. Avoid fully soaking the memory foam.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the contouring is meant to hug the foot, so ensure your heel is properly seated within the cup.
Troubleshooting
Straps feeling too tight initially
The memory foam padding will compress slightly with the warmth of your feet after the first few uses, providing a more custom fit.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
Ensure the footbed is thoroughly dried before wear; if they get wet, dab them with a microfiber towel rather than leaving them to sit in standing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These slides are designed to be worn immediately out of the box with no break-in period required due to the soft memory foam construction. To maintain their appearance, wipe the straps with a damp cloth if they accumulate dust or dirt. If the EVA footbed becomes soiled, use mild soap and water with a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the surface, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. Ensure you are ordering your standard size, as the footbed contouring is designed to cradle the foot accurately.
