HEYDUDE and Crocs are often compared because both are light and easy to slip on, and both belong to Crocs, Inc. They’re still very different shoes.

Style
HEYDUDE pass as casual shoes with jeans and chinos in more settings. Crocs have become fashionable, but they still read as a clog. For styling Crocs with denim, see our real-photo jeans guide.
