Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm glad your Vessis are keeping you dry and comfortable!
We’re sorry to hear your Vessis are too narrow. The material works similar to how socks fit, in the sense that it adapts to your foot shape. The more you wear them, the more it gives and stretches to mold to you. Therefore, it’s actually quite normal for your Vessis to be a little snug to start. 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.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts on your Vessis with us.
“Comfy shoe that does its job well. I live in the PNW and I really appreciate a light sneaker that keeps my feet dry. I have wide feet and the style weirdly emphasizes this. I would probably choose a different style for myself going forward.”
Hi Te-Cheng,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.
While Vessis are 100% waterproof they are unfortunately not stain proof so our lighter colours do require more regular care to keep clean. The best cleaning practices are found on the care card included in the box with your Vessis.
Another great tip to keep your Vessis looking as fresh as possible is to mix some baking soda and water to create a paste then slowly rubbing this paste onto the shoe can remove tough stains without causing damage to the waterproof membrane.
Vessis have a snug, sock-like fit, which means that the knit actually provides almost all of the of the shoe's support. But to keep the laces in place, you're welcome to apply a little glue to them or swap them out for flat laces which can be purchased locally. Some people also like to tie a knot at the end of the lace and tuck it into the lace cage for a secure, no-tie look.
That said, we’ll be sure to share your feedback with our Product Team as we're always looking for ways to improve.

“I am probably on my 9th or 10th pair of Vessi’s and I can’t stress how much I love having dry feet regardless of the season! These shoes are incredible, hold up to washing, and when an issue does arise (rare) their customer service is top notch!”
“Oh man these are the only shoes I wear ever since I bought my first pair! They are super comfortable, easy to slip on and off, extremely durable, and water proof on top of all that! Amazing! All the shoes I’ve worn have torn near the toes but I’ve been wearing my other pair for close to a month and just bought new ones because I wanted another color and a cleaner pair! They’re great all round”
