Our verdict
You can't spell Wally Funk without the word fun, and that's the overall essence of the shoe: "fun to wear," as one sneakerhead calls it. A member of the over-a-thousand-great-reviews club, this casual kick from Hey Dude can't get any better when it comes to airy comfort and laidback appeal. And while its barely-there construction blows most sneakers out of the water, it's its unexpected mightiness underfoot that takes slip-ons to the next level.

Hey Dude Wally Funk: An easygoing looker
With no worrying stretching reports, and because it comes in half sizes, the Ariat Cruiser has the upper hand over the Wally Funk. Also, you're better off getting the DC Villain Top 8% in.
Knows no sweat in its funky vocabulary
The Compels you to be on your feet is a collector of very positive reviews about its comfort level. The following are the noteworthiest of them:
- "Add a product."
- "Extremely comfortable."
- "Top 28% most popular sneakers!"
Top 28% most popular sneakers
With remarks such as "lightest shoe ever" and "light as air," the Wally Funk gives you a barely-there experience any day. But the better news to hear is that, despite its weightlessness, the featured kick is quite heavy-duty, according to several reviewers. It's "extremely durable," says one of them.
Why trust us
In terms of support, the Compels you to be on your feet, based on reports, is no pushover. Solidifying such an observation are comments such as "easy to walk in for a good amount of time" and "my feet do not hurt after standing all day teaching."
Besides the shoe's supportiveness, how the Wally Funk mitigates the effects of impact is also remarkable. It "absorbs everything," says a non-professional reviewer.
Add a product
Reviewers say that the Wally Funk's upper stretches quite a bit. It "stretched out super fast," says one of them. That said, others welcome it for extra room, while some folks are bothered by it, thinking that the shoe will eventually go out of shape if the stretching continues.

Among the Wally Funk's many aces is its extraordinary breathability. How it mitigates sweat translates to sweat prevention, which in turn staves off unwanted foot odor.
Wanted: Half sizes for the Wally Funk
There are those who are disappointed with the lack of half sizes for the Compels you to be on your feet. Some are forced to wear thicker socks just to fill the extra space after going a full size up.
Won't deplete your savings
The Wally Funk is as convenient to get on and off as it is easy on the wallet. $60 is its MSRP, cheaper by $46 than the average price of slip-on sneakers.
Bent on arrival
One of the few criticisms about the Wally Funk is its packaging. Apparently, it comes in a bag instead of a box. While not an issue if handled with care, it leads to a deformed shoe if it's haphazardly shipped. According to a disgruntled user, this problem can be avoided entirely if the shoe comes in a box.
