Hey, Dude Shoes is a footwear company that specializes in comfort, style, and fit. Each new style is the promise of a new adventure and an opportunity for exciting discoveries. Hey, Dude is all about going for it with its incredibly lightweight design and unique flex and fold technology.

Hey, Dude came to the U.S. in April 2010 and the rest of the world later that year. Now that we know comfort can go anywhere our feet haven’t been the same since.

Who owns Hey Dude Shoes?

Hey, Dude was founded in 2008 by CEO Alessandro Rosano who wanted to create comfortable and accessible footwear. However, today, 95% of revenue comes from the American market, and the brand also has almost one million followers across social media channels.

Today, Hey Dude Shoes has been acquired by Crocs for $2.5B, in 2021. This deal was done in Cash & Stock. Crocs said then that it expects the brand will bring in roughly $750 million in revenue in 2022. Crocs plan to build Hey Dude into a $1 billion brand by 2024 by expanding its US distribution, expanding its global customer base, and adding new products to its lineup, the company said in an investor presentation.
