“Walking through the urban hustle, the right shoe can mean the difference between a comfortable day or a complete misstep in a wardrobe choice. Tapping into the world of innovative footwear, I recently slipped my feet into the Vessi Black Women's Weekend Chelsea shoes. In this review, I'll share my candid thoughts about these sneakers that are making waves for being lightweight and waterproof.
Style and Design:
For an urban aesthete, the prospect of a sleek, all-weather shoe is alluring—cue the Vessi Weekend Chelsea. Sadly, they don't quite hit the mark of femininity in their design. With their solid build and somewhat broad front profiling, there is an unmistakable masculine edge, suggesting that Vessi's unisex approach might have leaned a bit too heavily towards a universal design, leaving a desire for a more female-friendly aesthetic unmet. It earns a hesitant nod from fashion-forward customers who seek a balance between utilitarian functionality and chic design.
Comfort and Fit:
Slipping on the Weekends is a seamless experience. The embracing stretch and absence of bothersome laces or zippers is a commendable feature for the fast-paced woman. Comfort-wise, Vessi has integrated enough cushioning to keep the soles of your feet cocooned in softness – a tangible upgrade to the conventional Chelsea boot.
Durability and Performance:
Functionality is where these shoes begin to shine. Built to withstand the elements, they serve as faithful companions on rainy days. The 100% waterproof promise holds true, leaving your feet desert-dry even as you puddle-hop the city streets. Their lifespan, though yet to be thoroughly battle-tested, seems promising, pointing toward a sturdy investment.
Overall Experience:
From the unboxing to the casual strolls, the Vessi Black Women's Weekend Chelsea shoes plant themselves firmly in the middle ground between a robust outdoor ally and a questionable style statement. A versatile, albeit unremarkable asset, they punctuate my shoe collection with their weatherproof qualities but leave room for desire on the fashion front.
After a fair period of use, my sentiments towards these shoes are lukewarm—there's respect for the technical attributes but a touch of disappointment in the styling department. I grant the Vessi Weekend Chelsea a 3 out of 5 stars—commendable for their innovative waterproofing technology, yet yearning for that delicate touch that spells unequivocal femininity.”

“Love the look and fit of these. My third pair of Vessis and I purchased for upcoming trip to Norway this spring. They will be perfect for all my treks plus home adventures.”
“I am still trying to figure out if these work for my feet. I was hoping I would slip them on and they would be perfect but there is a ridge in the shoe that is not 100% comfortable”
“So far I like them! Easy to put on and comfortable. I got one size up so I could put thick Socks and I wear them during winter when I don't have to travel much. That way I don't need to carry an extra pair of shoes to work!”
