Replacing HeyDude™ Shoe Insoles with FLAT SOCKS®

Need a new insole for your favorite slip-ons? The original insoles in your HEYDUDE™ shoes might need replaced if they are worn, dirty, or have a smell that won’t go away. Luckily, “Hey Dudes” have removable insoles so you can swap them out with no-socks shoe inserts like FLAT SOCKS for a brand-new feel.

Freshen up your style and your shoes with the following guide on how to use FLAT SOCKS as replacement insoles for Hey Dudes.

Can you take the insoles out of Hey Dudes?

You can take the insoles out of most Hey Dudes by gently loosening them from the inside of the shoe. For slip-ons like the Wally and Wendy styles, removeable insoles make it easier to wash your shoes and keep them clean. You can also replace them with other types of insoles that help control odors, reduce sweat, or add arch support.

Why Replace Your Shoe’s Insoles

Since wearing Hey Dudes without socks is the norm, the inside of the shoes can wear out sooner than expected. Going barefoot in your shoes can increase friction, encourage blisters, and cause lingering shoe odors from built-up sweat and bacteria. Eventually, the original insole materials break down, losing their support and comfort.

When To Get New Hey Dude Insoles

The average pair of shoe insoles can last between six months and a year depending on their design, thickness, and the activities you do while wearing them. Slimmer insoles, like Hey Dude shoe inserts, might not last as long when you’re wearing your shoes daily and without socks.

By creating a cushioned barrier between your foot and shoe, FLAT SOCKS can help your shoes and insoles last longer. Unlike original Hey Dude insoles, FLAT SOCKS are machine washable so you can keep them clean and fresh more frequently, protecting the comfort and quality of your shoes.
