“I now have 2pairs of shoes because I did not receive a confirmation of the first order. However I will gift a pair at Christmas and I really like the product. Also Vessi has been helpful straightening this out.”
“The tennis shoes are extremely comfortable and look great! We even tried pouring water on them and they stayed dry! I would definitely recommend them to others! They are a perfect shoe for teachers who are on their feet all day working with young students!
Thank you!”
“I love that these shoes are waterproof; I've walked through puddles and damp grass with these, and my socks have stayed dry. The shoes are comfortable to walk in, but the ankle opening is tight (and I have fairly small ankles). I've walked in these for about 6 - 8 miles, and I'm still hoping they'll loosen up a bit. Overall, I like these shoes. I would just be cautious if you have larger ankles.”
Hi Nina,
It’s normal for the ankle opening to be a little firm 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 and create the perfect shape around your feet. The reason you want this is to make sure no water comes in through the ankle. The only way to ensure this is if you allow the shoe to mold to your ankle shape. In order to do that, you do need them to be tight at first and then only stretch when they’ve learned your specific foot shape. This creates that snug, sock like fit that we are loved for!
Not to worry, after a few more wears the ankle opening will have loosened up to become the perfect fit for your feet. We recommend a shoehorn in the meantime! Glad you love them!
“I still am flabbergasted about this shoe, in my mind I still don’t 100% understand how this shoe keeps out water but it certainly does! It’s a great alternative to rain boots, super sleek forms to your foot perfectly, I am super thrilled!
The only reason why I took a star was because it did take a full week to get “comfortable” with it, the shoe opening around the ankle really hurt for the first week as I was breaking the shoe in, now it’s perfect, but I did have a bruise there for a little bit”
Hi Yasmine,
That makes two of us! I was super amazed at first too! :)
Your feedback was super and we truly appreciate your support! Your input was super helpful, and we can definitely see where you're coming from and we'll use your insight towards our research and development for our future design improvements.
“I bought a pair for my husband earlier this year. He loves them so I bought myself some. So glad I did. Super comfortable and they look great! I use them every day. No puddles yet, but I’m ready :)”
Hi Carey,
We're so happy to hear you're both loving your Vessis and you're now ready to take on any puddles that come your way! Happy puddle hunting. :)
