My husband, who is pretty traditional in his choice of footwear, was encouraged to buy a pair of Dudes (as he calls them) to take on holiday, rather than resorting to wearing trainers. That was a good many years ago now and I have to say he has lived in them ever since and always has a jazzy pair for holidays and another pair he uses as house shoes - I refuse to say slippers as that would be insulting! We ran into a dilemma earlier in the year with not being able to find replacements in his size, but the wonderful people at Hey Dude sent me an email to let me know when they were back in stock; now that’s service for you! My husband said they are so comfortable, light on your feet and a much more casual alternative to the trainer, flip flop or men’s sandal. Even better, they are very reasonably priced and don’t be fooled by their lightweight appearance, as they are very hardwearing. Thoroughly recommend!
