Winter is almost here and that means a few lifestyle changes.

In order to enjoy a sunset drink, you’ll have to start drinking earlier. I think I can handle this.

You’ll also need to haul the heater out of the spare room. Gas is probably preferable because Eskom can’t keep the power on.

Oh, and for those of you who love wearing flip flops and open shoes, it is time to consider the fact that your winter footwear requires a change of tack.

I refuse to compromise on comfort and I also like to win things for free, but more on that in a second.

Enter HEYDUDE, a footwear company founded in 2008 that recently arrived on our shores. The company uses high-performance materials to craft the most comfortable shoes you’ve ever worn, built on wide-fit Italian shoe lasts to give toes room for healthy positioning.

The classic styling also means HEYDUDE shoes go from boardwalk to boardroom without any fuss.

So, about winning yourself a pair of these gems. We’ve teamed up with HEYDUDE and are giving away four pairs, with the winners announced on May 31, 2022.

That’s in eight days’ time so get cracking. You can enter via Instagram and Facebook and the same rules apply for both.

Nice and simple.

I’d go ahead and enter on both platforms to maximise your chances.

According to HEYDUDE Creative Director Dario Kaute, the brand’s success is due in large part to the traditions of Italian shoemaking:

“We take from our predecessors the deep knowledge that to make a good shoe you need to start from a good shoe last, which is the soul of the shoe itself. HEYDUDE shoe-lasts are handmade in Italy, but with a difference: we start with what is known as a classic silhouette, then by using our HEYDUDE design philosophy, we create a contemporary classic that’s inspired by today’s modern living.”

Having wrapped my feet up inside a pair, I can attest to the comfort and versatility of the shoes.
