“So far these shoes fit nice, are easy for me to slip on and off (especially being 7 months pregnant) and they have good traction even when it's slipped out. Haven't gotten to try them outside much other than walking the dog but the waterproofing is great. The only thing that's been uncomfortable is part digging into my skin at the back of my heel. I think that's mostly something I have to get used to because these shoes hit a different spot than most of my shoes but if you're sensitive to that or get blisters easily that could be an issue.”
“My heels were rubbed raw after 20 minutes. The addition of the hard piece on the back for pulling on shoes is the issue I believe since it's not on my originals from years ago and will take a while to break these in. Dissapointing since this is my 4th pair of vessi shoes and 2nd pair of the slip on.”
Hi Krista,
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.
“These are very comfortable, easy to put on and take off. I wore them for 12 hour shift on my feet for first day and my feet were not sore. Great shoe, highly recommend.”
