“I purchased these for work, because I was confident these would be comfy to wear while standing for many hours. I must note that I own a pair of the weekends and they’re super comfy!
This particular style is only comfy for 3 hours and then my feet get sore.
I do love the style and I’m very happy with my purchase, but I don’t recommend if you are looking to purchase a shoe for work like retail where you are standing for many hours.”
Hi Leah,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad that you're enjoying your Vessis for the most part. As a casual/city shoe, Vessis do provide relatively low arch support - some people love this whereas some people don't. This is why we made the insoles removable so you have the option of using your own inserts for more customized fit and comfort. That said, we will certainly share your thoughts with the rest of the team as we feel it is important to take into consideration all of the feedback we receive from our customers.
“I have three pairs of Vessi shoes... You get what you pay for. At first these specific pair was a little tight at the top but after wearing them for a day or two, they became fitted and super comfortable - even after an 11hr shift. All black goes with everything and I love them.”
“I bought these shoes for working in a restaurant, where my feet often got wet from drinks splashing, or putting away wet drink ware. They are completely waterproof, but I find the soles to not be as comfortable as they could be. My feet are very sore after 5 hours of wear. They also are squeaking when I walk, and it’s driving me bonkers. I thought maybe it would go away once I broke them in, but I think it’s getting louder. 10/10 for being water proof, 6/10 for everything else.”
Hi Kerry,
we're glad that you're enjoying your shoes for the most part so far. As a casual/city shoe, Vessis do provide relatively low arch support - some people love this whereas some people don't.

In regards to the squeaking, that could be due to the lace cage rubbing against the knit! We recommend applying a bit of WD-40 to the area as that should take care of the problem.
“I initially ordered a size too big and Vessi returned them for a size smaller with no issue! Since receiving the right size, I have been wearing them everywhere! They are comfortable and keep your feet warm and dry! I highly recommend Vessi!”
Hey Kaylie. Thanks for the honest review! We definitely take this kind of feedback and try to make our future pairs better. Arch support and cushion are both things we're looking into! We're glad your pair is keeping you dry though!
“i like these a lot, i quickly bought a second pair for my second job. they slip on and stay on. they're comfortable. they're great for showering patients because your feet don't get wet. they hold up well for 12 hour shifts. i get tons of compliments on them. i do notice some fuzziness around the toes after a few months of wear & they stink like no other shoe i have ever owned.”
Hey Paige! Thanks for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We're glad they've been working well for you during work! It's great you have more than 1 pair -- this will allow you to air out a pair between uses. Remember you can also gently wash your pairs as well! Soft hand washing with clear detergent does the trick.
