“My brother whom I gifted it to commented, "This must be what Balenciaga's feel like." Considering that is a well accredited brand worldwide, I took it he was impressed. Fortunately, it was raining cats and dogs outside. Hearing Vessi's were a waterproof-focused shoe brand, he stepped right into muddy grass to see if he'd get wet. Sure enough, he did not. Not so luckily, I didn't have a pair of Vessi's so my socks did get soaked and I had to hurry back inside to dry. Overall, I splendid buy and experience for him and I.”
“I thought it would look too bulky, but looks good with long pants on. The foot is wide, so no bunching at the toes, which makes it very comfy. Easy to slip on and off, while still feeling snug/secure. I haven’t used in the rain or snow yet, but I’m excited to try!”
“Honestly the shoe broke in quickly but as a truck driver the shoe digs in a the angle if you hold you foot on the acceleration pedal for to long not a shoe I would choose for long trips in a car/truck”
Hi Thomas,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re sorry to hear you’re finding your Vessis too tight. For some reference, however, it’s actually quite normal for the ankle opening to be a little snug to start. Over the first few wears of your new shoes, you’ll notice that the upper knit and ankle opening will stretch to accommodate your foot shape. By starting tighter, this allows the shoe to mold to your ankle shape - making sure no water seeps in through the ankle opening.
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.
That said, I'll be sure to pass your feedback along to our Product team, as we are always looking to improve. We'll use your insight towards our research and development for our future design improvements.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts on your Vessis with us.
“I should have acquired a Vessi a long time ago. Value and quality at its best. My problem is not finding my size 15 which I hope Vessi will consider making it one day. So I purchased size 14 luckily the design allows it, so I wear it happily with minimal effect being one size smaller.”
