“These are comfortable shoes, that are indeed waterproof after testing them out! They are definitely meant more for light use, as the website says. I wore them a few days in a row at work and my feet did not feel as supported as I would have liked (I work in healthcare and am on my feet most of the day). I also do not love that they make my feet look wider than they are/look in other shoes. Perhaps because the body of the shoe is so flexible and not super supportive in structure. However, for shorter walks in wet weather, they are great.”
Hi Alexis,
Thanks for sharing this with us! No worries, the insoles are totally removable so you can easily replace them with your own orthotics that may give you the proper support and the fit that you require especially with your job function.
“I bought the CityScape's back in 2017 and immediately fell in love. They are definitely the best pair of shoes I've ever bought. I don't like rainboots - I find them uncomfortable and bulky so I didn't wear them. So when I slipped into the Vessi's and wore them for the first time I knew my days of having wet feet were over. I really can't say enough good things about them. I wear them rain or shine, they're that comfortable.
After 2 years I noticed the fabric on one of the heels had started to pull up from the sole. Shoes wear out, not a big deal. This was right around Black Friday so I took advantage of the sales and got the exact same pair. I actually still wear the old one (no sense wearing out the new ones!). My feet are still dry and it's possible I will still get a lot of wear out of them. But when I do finally have to retire them I've got another pair ready to go!”
Hi Megan,
We really appreciate your kind words and continuous support! We're sorry to hear that the upper knit has begun to separate. If you haven't yet, please shoot us an email at support@vessi.com. We would love to take a look into this for you!
“Got my Vessi shoes for work. I’m a 58 year old registered nurse on my feet all day. I find the shoes extremely comfortable but there isn’t enough arch support in them for my old feet.”
Hi Debby,
Thank you for sharing this with us! No worries, our insoles are totally removable so you can put your own orthotics to give you that extra support.
“I bought these so my toes would stay dry for jogging but there is basically no grip on the bottom so I’m afraid to slip. The upper part is incredibly comfy and waterproof but I feel unsafe running on Vancouver’s wet and leafy sidewalks. Please make some with great tread!”
“These sneakers are so easy to put on and are super comfortable . I often wear a 9 1/2 in other major brands- like Adidas, Nikes etc but the 9 was a perfect fit! I wore them in the rain many times since I got them and my feet were perfectly dry ! My only minor comment is they don’t look as slimming on my feet as they do in the photo . But again comfort rules!”
“I live in Seattle and I walk to and from work in the rain, snow, or shine. Right now it's monsoon season in Washington and these perform so nicely, keeping my feet and socks completely dry during my 15 minute walk in the rain and puddles. Definitely size down if you're a half size, possibly even a whole size. I usually wear women's tens and a 9 in this style fits me perfectly.”
