“According to your description if a person is 1/2 size they should size for more room or size down for a snug fit. I wanted snug because I like walking and like my feet stay firm. After wearing it the first time with socks my back ankles bruised so badly. They bled. I have another type of vessi. Never had an issue.”
Hi Nandini,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.
I'm sorry to hear you have been experiencing discomfort at the back of your ankles from your shoes. Our ankle opening is a little firm to start, therefore you could experience some discomfort before it stretches out to perfectly accommodate your feet. I would definitely recommend giving your feet time to heal before giving your shoes a try again. Here are a few tips that can help once you start wearing your shoes again.
Wearing thicker socks that provide extra cushioning on that area will give the shoes time to adjust to your foot. Adding something to cover up that area will allow the shoes to adjust to your foot so they can fit you perfectly. Finally, another thing you can try doing is to insert a pair of heel liners into your Vessis for more cushioning. Heel stickers from Dr. Scholls can work really well too.
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.
“Cute shoes! I really wish they came in half sizes, but with an extra in-sole they work and keep my feet nice and dry, I'm still getting used to the weight of them but liking them more and more”
