Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 47 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the company's customer service, describing it as unhelpful, unresponsive, and difficult to reach, often leading to unresolved issues with orders and refunds. Reviewers frequently encountered problems with their orders, including incorrect items, wrong sizes, and orders that never shipped or arrived, with some even reporting that they did not receive products after payment. The website was also a source of frustration due to unclear advertisements, non-functional coupon codes, and a lack of clarity regarding discounted items, making the purchasing process difficult for many. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the products themselves, praising the shoes for their comfort, lightweight design, and variety of styles, making them suitable for travel and everyday wear. However, some customers also noted issues with product quality, such as defective items, shoes that caused pain after a few hours, or those that stained easily and were difficult to clean.

Hey dude customer service doesn’t even deserve a star!! If I could deduct stars there would not be enough to take from them!!
I ordered a pair of shoes online requested a return and chose another style of shoe with a different size.
They charged me again for shipping and did not give me credit for the total tax included I paid for the first pair!!
They received my return package on the 9 th and of course I never got notification of that at all I had to live chat them to evens get that info only to be told I still had o wait 10 to 14 days for them to process my return it’s now been 11 days since they have had my return but they say 7 because they don’t count weekends

I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN!!!

Customer Service is horrendous (not even worthy of 1 star). Stay away from purchasing online, there is a reason there is 1.9M settlement being issued to customers.
I ordered a pair of shoes for my son, and returned to exchange for a bigger size. When doing the exchange, they required payment for shipping AGAIN for the new pair, so I paid $15.81 for shipping the new pair. I should have stopped right there and ceased my business. How is a company acquired by CROCS charging over $15.00 for shipping one pair of shoes?!?!
I never received the exchange and I had to inquire with customer service as to where my order was, only to find out they are now out of stock.
After 3 calls to customer service, not only did I have to fight for a refund of the $15.81 for refund of the shipping I paid for shoes that were never shipped, but the correct refund for the tax I paid on the original purchase.
I will never again purchase directly from HeyDude!

I would give zero stars if I could

I would give zero stars if I could. The shoes themselves I love but the customer service is TERRIBLE. I could write a book about how many times I went back and forth all for a simple exchange. For them to end up not even having the shoe in stock anymore. Then not wanting to give me my full refund. DO NOT BUY ONLINE! Just pay the extra in a store.

The worst customer service!

First off I love the shoes. It is customer service that I have a problem with! They never waver from the script they are handed. So I purchased the shoes and in the process of them being shipped they went on sale plus a coupon code. So the difference was $18.75. A considerable amount. Customer service would not waver! They did I not even answer my question. Should I return the shoes at the higher price and reorder the same pair at the current price at $19 difference? They just referred me to FAQ! And this is not the first time I had to deal with customer service. Come on Hey Dude, you have a great product but that means nothing when your customer service sucks!! Scott

Love these shoes need better soles

I have bought 11 pairs of Hey Dude Shoes over the years I bought that many knowing the issues I've been having because they help my back and my feet due to neuropathy sadly the soles of the shoes do not last more than six months (AT THE MOST AND THATS BEING GENEROUS) I would love to buy more but if something isn't done about the soles of the shoe I can't see spending 60 to 100 dollars on another pair I feel like I spent enough money with you guys to warrant a response I do love the shoes just not the fact that they dont last any longer than they do when Ive had Walmart flip flops last longer I'll gladly send you pictures of the pair I have currently that were bought in December

WORST customer service

Hey Dudes has the WORST customer service! If you have an issue, you call in, you get someone from overseas who barely understands you and repeats things over and over. I have called 3 times for different issues, and I ALWAYS get an apology an excuse as to why they can't assist! NEVER AGAIN (wrong size sent, credit or refund for return, gift card given as return doesn't work!) take your business to someone who operates in the US and cares about their customers.

Their customer service appears to be non existent. I emailed them and was told someone would get back to me but their mailbox is full so it`s impossible to communicate with them. I emailed them from the site and just received links which is a lazy way of dealing with a problem. Not impressed!

Poor craftsmanship and defective materials. Have not had shoes 3 months and there is a hole out the side, but company will not stand behind their manufacturing. They were nice shoes. Were. Waste of money. Very poor customer service.

Awful product

Awful product, no support, sloppy construction, ridiculous laces & most importantly cut the soles of my feet to a bloody mess with blisters after one 3 hour wear around the local town.

It actually all started right from placing my order. I ordered a pair of shoes with a new customer discount of 10% however within five minutes of placing the order that you get free shipping which was a better discount. I immediately contacted them (So now it’s been seven minutes) and was told that the order was already processed and now in shipping so no changes accepted.

When the shoes did arrive, one was very tight and the other, fell off my foot pretty much with every step.

They are very very poorly made, totally flat sole and no arch support at all.

Lesson learned. They really are a piece of…

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. Their website is. It kept up to date with whether item is in stock. Contacted customer service three times for refund and they refused to provide, directing us to refund link. Won’t ever purchase hey dude or crocs in future.

So they look cool kind of like Tom slip-ons but they have these laces that you're supposed to be able to tighten so that they don't hurt your feet or fall off as you're walking and they don't work they just come undone over and over again they make my ankles hurt because there's no support

Poor customer service and no delivery

When I exchanged one pair of shoes for another, they failed to let me know that it had run out of stock. I waited several weeks and had to email customer support. I couldn't even make an account to check my order details. Besides that, the user interface is needlessly complicated every time refreshing and reloading pages when filters are selected. Overall disappointing. Take your money to where they care about their customers and actually doing what they say they're going to do.

Terrible

These shoes are the most uncomfortable shoes I have EVER worn. That have absolutely zero cushion or support. The insole is just flat. I was very disappointed and wondering why so many buy these. This must be a follow the leader situation “Look at me, I am cool now thing” These shoes are not worth the money they charge.
