Hi Daniel,
We're glad to hear that you find the shoes overall comfortable, even though they're a little snug.
The material works similar to how socks fit, in the sense that it adapts to your foot shape. The more you wear them, the more it gives and stretches to mold to you. Therefore, it’s actually quite normal for your Vessis to be a little snug to start. Some customers use a shoehorn in the meantime, which should help. You can also speed up the stretching process by leaving a few pairs of thick socks balled up inside the shoes overnight.
Your upcoming trip to Ireland sounds like the perfect opportunity to put the waterproofing to the test. We hope your Vessis will keep you dry and comfortable during your adventures.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts on your Vessis with us.
“Putting these on feels like being able to wear slippers anywhere, whether at home, outside, or in the gym they’re incredibly comfortable! And the meshes repelling water is so mesmerizing, I could watch waves roll over my shoes for hours”
“I bought a pair originally for my husband, and he loved them, then I got another pair, more bulky and they caused sores around his ankles over a week of wear and were uncomfortable - we informed Vessi who replaced them with these and he loves these. Fantastic customer service and shoes! I’m saving for a pair for me and our child. Fingers & toes crossed to win! Thank you!”
“The pair of Vessis that I got was stylish and comfortable. I absolutely love supporting local businesses and a great big bonus that their customer care is an 11/10. The only thing is that I wished the soles had a little bit more support for high/ flat arches folks.”
“I bought these shoes for a European vacation (Rome, Sardinia and Barcelona) and they are by far the best travel shoes. They may run a bit hot (but what doesn't in 95 degree heat), but they are the most comfortable shoe for a lot of walking. I'm going to buy thr slip on on my return home.”
“My husband said the shoes made his feet go numb and the soles weren’t that comfortable, but he really liked the waterproof aspect of the shoes, and thought they looked stylish.”
