FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
The Wally Braided shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they are flexible and lightweight, they do not offer the specific support and cushioning required for strenuous athletic activities like running.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing the uppers and insoles separately is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the difference between the Wally Braided and other Wally models?
The Wally Braided features a distinct woven textile upper with cotton laces, offering a more casual, 'island-inspired' aesthetic compared to other Wally models that may have different upper materials or closure systems.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide for Hey Dude shoes. These shoes tend to run true to size for most customers, but due to their flexible nature, some with narrower feet might find them slightly roomy. Consider your typical shoe size and any specific fit notes for this model.
Are the insoles supportive enough for all-day wear?
The removable foam insoles provide cushioning for comfort. For individuals requiring significant arch support, adding a third-party orthotic insole may be beneficial, as the original insoles are removable.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The textile upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions and may become saturated.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
Tighten the woven laces. If still loose, consider using thicker socks or adding an insert for a snugger fit.
Slight odor developing
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Ensure shoes are completely dry after cleaning. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Stains on the textile upper
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing which could damage the fabric. Always air dry.
Difficulty removing insoles
Ensure the shoe is completely dry and the insole is not damp or stuck. Gently pull from the heel or front edge.
