To wash Hey Dude shoes, follow these recommended steps:
- Remove the insoles and laces from the shoes. The insoles should be hand washed separately with mild soap and water and air dried before reinserting.
- Brush off loose dirt and debris gently from the shoes using a soft brush.
- Machine wash the shoes on a gentle cycle using cold water and a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Placing shoes in a mesh laundry bag is advised to protect them.
- Do not use powder detergents or hot water as they can damage the shoe material.
- Avoid the dryer: air dry the shoes naturally, out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- For leather, suede, or wool styles, avoid machine washing and use appropriate hand cleaning methods instead.
These methods help keep your Hey Dude shoes clean without shrinking, warping, or damaging their unique materials. Hand washing insoles and spot cleaning stains before washing is also recommended.
