Are the Hey Dude Wendy Milky Way shoes true to size?

The Wendy line generally runs true to size for most wearers. People between sizes often size up, and the elastic laces give some room either way.

Can I machine wash them?

Yes. Hey Dude says to machine wash cold and air dry. Skip the dryer, since heat can warp the sole and insole.

Yes. The leather-lined memory foam insole lifts out, so you can swap it for your own orthotic or wash it separately.

They are fine for light walking and travel, but the thin flexible sole and canvas upper are not built for rough trails or long hikes.

Poorly. The cotton canvas absorbs water and the sole is thin, so they are best kept for dry days.

The main difference is the cow-print cotton canvas. The Flex & Fold build, elastic laces and memory foam insole carry over from the standard Wendy.
