Hey Dude is a cool and comfortable casual footwear brand and they have opened a new store in the Gloucester Premium Outlets, which is located in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township.
Hey Dude makes comfort a top priority with some saying they are like wearing slippers! Factor in stylish looks that evoke a boating or beach bar lifestyle, they quickly caught the attention of global shoppers.

Lightweight, comfortable, well-made and stylish, the line of casual shoes were founded in Italy in 2008 and entered the US market in 2010.
Their original shoe is called “The Wally” which is a slip-on casual shoe which offers several features to create a lightweight (yet well crafted) shoe, and a proprietary foam inner-sole construction with a pillow-soft bottom that feel as soft and cushy as clouds.
The Hey Dude brand caught on quickly with global shoppers as evidenced by having sold their one millionth pair in just their first 30 months. Today they sell over 7 million pairs… each calendar quarter!
In 2021 Crocs purchased the brand for $2.5 billion and the company has been expanding the retail “brick and mortar” presence by accelerating the opening of additional locations throughout the US.

Over the years the brand has been expanding their lineup to include sneakers as well as women’s and kids shoes. They’ve even added some “Hey Dude” branded apparel including t-shirts and baseball caps.
With new owner Crocs at the helm, Hey Dude is also steering the ship towards expanding brand awareness. This year they signed-on actress Sydney Sweeney as their global spokesperson (with one of the early commercials filmed on a boat dock, totally “on brand”).
Earlier this month country music artist Jelly Roll signed on with the casual shoe brand, and they are offering his own shoe design.
For a sense of fun and whimsy, they even have a bright yellow Spongebob styled shoe!
