Hey Dude is a brand that sells shoes but is way comfier. They make some of the cushiest, airiest, and featheriest go-to shoes for on-the-go people.
Skechers is similar, although they make shoes with a mad amount of cushioning, some of which make you substantially taller.
So what if you can combine the best of both brands? Are there Skechers shoes with supremely plush cushioning that actually look like Hey Dudes? You bet there are.
You’ll find similar shoes that look like Hey Dudes from Skechers’ “Relaxed Fit” collection. Below, I’ll provide you with some of the most comfortable options for both men and women.
These are basically comfortable Skechers shoes that are easy to wear thanks to the roomier toe box design and Skechers Air-cooled Memory Foam™ insoles.
Skechers that look like Hey Dude shoes
Inside Skechers’ “Relaxed Fit” collection, you’ll find the BOBS Skipper line, which is for women, and the Melson line, which is for men. Both models are Skechers that look like Hey Dudes.
1. Skechers Melson – Raymon (Men’s)
My favorite Skechers that look like Hey Dudes is the Melson – Raymon. This particular style is designed for men, and I can say with confidence that this is my go-to pair of shoes right now.
The shoe is a stretch-laced casual moc toe beach slip-on style, just like Hey Dudes. It’s made of a soft woven canvas fabric upper, paired with Air-Cooled Memory Foam™ insoles.
Is the shoe the most durable? Definitely not. If you are looking for something to withstand the elements, I do not recommend purchasing these shoes.
The outer soles of these shoes are not the most durable, and there is already visible wear in the outer soles of my pair of shoes that I have been wearing after three weeks of purchase.
However, for the price of the shoes, I cannot complain. Love the shoes. Not only is it one of the most comfortable footwear I’ve worn, but it’s also very stylish (similar to Hey Dudes).
Nothing beats the price and comfort of Skechers. It’s light, easy to put on, can be used as a slip-on or slipper, and is not too warm inside, which is good for summer or warm weather.
2. Skechers BOBS Skipper – Sandbar Social (Women’s)
The best Skechers that look like Hey Dudes is the BOBS Skipper – Sandbar Social. This slip-on features a microfiber fabric upper and a cushioned Skechers Memory Foam™ insole.
I got a pair for my girlfriend and she got a second pair four weeks after. She said that she loves the style and that it’s the most comfortable pair of footwear shoes she’s ever owned.
The design is so versatile because women can wear it with jeans, or as a casual dress shoe. Surprisingly, the shoe holds up very well. All of these things make it a great value.
However, the thing I appreciate the most about this shoe is the charity aspect. For every BOBS purchase, a donation is made to animals in need. You can learn more about the charity here.
Oh and did I mention that this shoe is 100% vegan? The Skechers BOBS Skipper – Sandbar Social is comfortable, affordable, vegan, and gives back to charity. What’s not to like?
3. Skechers Melson – Volgo (Men’s)
Another great Hey Dude look-alike option from Skechers for men is the Melson – Volgo. Honestly, this pair of shoes was perfectly comfortable the first time I put them on.
I remember going to a local store, and the salesperson would ask me if I wanted to wear my new shoes home after I’d bought them. He told me to wear them home, and maybe go for a walk.
These shoes are absolutely fantastic. I have a few pairs of Skechers now including these and they are all great shoes, but the Melson – Volgo is up there with the best of them.
Not only are they easy to slip on and off, but each pair also provides the right amount of tightness so they don’t slip off when you’re walking while still remaining comfortable.
I also notice that the upper material doesn’t tear up easily. I highly recommend these shoes if you’re looking for a comfortable everyday casual work shoe, which is what I use them for.
Are they as fully supportive as performance running shoes? No, but that’s not what they’re designed for. They are well made, great fitting, very comfortable lightweight shoes.
The Skechers Melson – Volgo looks identical to a pair of Hey Dudes, complete with the soft woven canvas fabric upper in a slip-on stretch-laced moc toe beach casual style.
4. Skechers BOBS Skipper – Summer Life (Women’s)
As the name suggests, the Skechers BOBS Skipper – Summer Life is a shoe that lets you breeze through warm sunny days in feet-loving comfort.
Just like a pair of Hey Dude beach moc toe shoes, this slip-on from Skechers features a soft washed-finish canvas upper and cushioned Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles.
I’ve mentioned this already, but each BOBS Skipper shoe is 100% vegan and donates to charity. In fact, with every BOBS purchase, a donation is made to animals in need.
As far as comfort goes, my girlfriend said these are some of the most pleasant-to-wear shoes of all time. The style goes with just about anything, but the shoes are perfect for summer.
If you’re considering between these Skechers or a pair from Hey Dude, I would go for this one because the insoles are far more cushioned and plush. In other words, more comfortable.
