Experience

Cool looking and comfy shoes. Shipped fast, and are very waterproof. Has pretty cushy insoles, but sadly for me I need a bit more arch support - thankfully the runners and boots have enough room to insert my own.

Feedback

Even with laces these are still slip on shoes. Make sure that's the fit you want For sizing, make sure you check the size guide - for the chelsea I got a women's 10, and cityscape everydays I got a 9. And they both fit well!

Love my Vessis! I live in a rainy city and these are my go everywhere shoes. Super comfy, look great and look brand new even after wearing so often!

I bought a pair of Vessis, for the first time, back in December and they truly are waterproof sneakers. They are perfect for rainy days and have the perfect design so that I can wear them everyday.

Love the idea of waterproof shoes. Great customer service: had an order that was extremely delayed during the holidays and they offered to send a pair of free socks in the order.

Feedback

The white shoes get extremely dirty after just a few wears. I find that I'm washing them every other week because wearing dirty white shoes is a pet peeve of mine. I'm then worried that I'm degrading the quality of the waterproof shoes as a result of so much of this washing. Wish they were mud-proof or dirt proof to some extent as well, so this could've been a non-issue in the first place.

Well, they are certainly waterproof. The opening is very snug to prevent more water from coming in, though that makes them less comfortable to wear, especially with socks. It feels tight on my usual size. Good purchase for heavy monsoon areas though they don't actually get as much use as I thought they would.

Experience

For what it is, a solid 4/5. I bought a pair of Vessi last year, together with my husband. The shoes helped us through many rainy days as Vancouver rains half of the year. But they only lasted for about a year. And at the beginning, they were quite tight around the top of the foot, cutting off circulation. It was worth the try though.

Feedback

Shoes started to leak a bit in Month 10. Perhaps there should be a care kit for the shoes?

I have the Vessi Everyday Move shoes and they do not disappoint! I bought them for a trip to the Florida theme parks and they kept my feet mostly dry during multiple spontaneous downpours. A little water did get in my shoe from the top since there was so much rain (hard to prevent), but no water came in through the laces/sides/sole and my feet stayed completely dry through deep puddles and water rides! The shoes are very comfortable, provided lots of support during multiple 10+ mile walking days. They're wider than other brands which I personally loved. Also, the shoes are pretty stylish and look very similar to my Allbirds!

Feedback

Like I said, water still got in my shoe because of rain. I think this was mostly unavoidable given the volume of rain and the low profile of the shoe, but figured I'd note it. The only other improvement I could see is something to soften the heal of the shoe. I had to cover my heal to avoid blisters from the rubbing.
