Does the Hey Dude Paul Classic fit true to size?

It runs wide. If your feet are average width, consider a half size down or expect a roomier fit; wide-footed wearers usually take their normal size.

Is it actually waterproof?

It is marketed as waterproof, but owners report mixed results in wet conditions. Treat it as water-resistant for light rain, not for puddles or long wet walks.

Can I wear it without socks?

Yes. The textile and suede lining is comfortable barefoot, though the cork insole can get warm in hot weather.

How does it compare with other Hey Dude slip-ons?

The Paul Classic has a leather-look upper that reads dressier than the brand's mesh styles, with the same easy slip-on design and cushioned insole.

Is it good for standing or walking all day?

It is fine for casual errands and short walks. The flat, flexible sole offers little arch support, so it is not the best pick for long shifts on hard floors.
