“I bought these for work (I bartend in Vegas). I needed something breathable, comfortable, slip resistant and preferably look good. The waterproof part is just a bonus. The best part of the shoe is that normally when I get syrups and juices on the I either have to wipe them by hand or just deal with the stickiness. The downside is it makes the shoe brittle and starts to crack. These I literally just hose off with a soda gun at the end of my shift.
Sizing wise, they are pretty true to fit. I have a bit of a wide foot, but am a size 9 (US), they are a bit snug, but not uncomfortable after 8-9 hours of running around in a high volume bar. After 3 weeks of wearing them the tread seems to be holding up as well which was a big concern since these aren’t some $40 sketcher work shoes.
A lot of people online compare these to adidas as far as the insole is concerned, while they are comfortable, they aren’t adidas cloudfoam, but they are certainly comfortable. And I’ll take a slightly less cushy insole but longer lasting tread and fully waterproof any day.
I’d like to also say that I did not have any “break in” time with these shoes. I got them on a Thursday and wore them to work over the weekend with no foot pain and no ankle rubbing.”
“My work requires me to be out in snow and puddles and I never get soaked feet, but I am also on my feet all day and I get sore feet. Having the option to put extra insoles would be nice but I don't see how I could fit them. Without insoles they fit beautifully, like a pair of socks, but like socks they don't have much arch support. Granted my feet might just need more support than the average person.”
“My experience with Vessi as a company and with their shoes has been outstanding. Their customer service is exemplary and the shoes are comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Can’t say enough good things about Vessi.”
“I step on puddles on purpose now with my Vessi's just to test them, and my feet has so far always stayed dried. On top of that, the shoe keeps your toes warm as well compared to regular walking shoes.”
“I like the look of them. More like a regular runner than say the Cityscapes. They really are waterproof! They do fit a little on larger side so sizing was a little tricky. Exchange experience was great & easy.
Your gloves need to be exchangeable too because they are a sized item, expensive & the finger touch screen does not work if they are too big. It should not be in your accessory category as it is not one size fits all & the price point is pretty steep to not exchange them.”
