I love these shoes!Well I had a different super detailed review written when the Amazon app crashed. I want to describe the shoe aspects I would be interested in since I rarely buy shoes online so probably crave a bit more detail.Buy these shoes! They are amazing and every bit as comfy as they claim. I wear size 11 and these fit comfortably, albeit a bit snug at the big toe. My right foot is a tad bit longer than my left so its that foot who feels that squeeze. It is not bad enough for me to want the next size up though. I have had them for 2 months and done quite a bit of walking around Europe. In case you were not aware, Europe is not large foot friendly, so here I may as well be a Sasquatch. No retailer I have been to has had cute woman’s shoes in my size hence my need to order these online. No, I had not tried them in a store first before I got here. Just went by my regular size.The fabric of the shoe spot cleans easily, is made of a breathable canvas like material that is soft to the touch and holds it shape well enough that I can put my foot in it without touching or adjusting it. I wear them without socks as that is what I got them for, a spring/ summery kind of shoe. I have spent at least 10 straight hours in them without issue. I cannot say that about any other comparable shoe I own. I have walked on dirt roads, rocky unfinished roads, concrete roads, cobblestone and asphalt without my feet hurting afterward. They are very lightweight and breathable so even without socks my feet don’t sweat. The fit around the foot is loose, but no so much that your foot pops out. It is a comfortable fit for me. I wear the 2018 Nike Free shoes aften and they are a snug, but comfortable fit for comparison. Heydudes easily beat out my nike, sperry, vans and chucks for walking about. The soles are great. The cushion doesn’t give noticeably on the inside like memory foam. I feel like its more absorbing on the outer-sole so your foot doesn’t move around but gets the benefit of lasting stable cushioning. I guess a better way to describe it is that the shoe itself is adapting to the environment for you instead of to your foot while still encapsulating your foot with a smooth soft fit. Hope this helps you pull the trigger and treat your feet!
