“I bought these boots to try them out for daily wear. The problem I had with shoes in winter is they're either too cold, uncomfortable or slippery outside but great indoors, or they're nice, snug and have great traction but are too hot to wear in the office. Just having another pair in the office didn't work great because I move between buildings a lot and didn't feel like swapping shoes every time I had to leave the building.
This pair is a great middle ground -- obviously they're not as sturdy or warm as a pair of dedicated winter boots but they're much warmer than other shoes, and they don't cook my feet indoors either. The soles are decent for daily winter use, but they will slide around on heavy ice (but so will most boots unless they're spiked). The waterproofing is good, but note that if the boots do get splashed or soaked, your feet will get very cold very quickly due to the fabric nature of the outside of the shoe even if you don't actually get water in. They're also a delight to put on in the morning when in a rush, just slip them on!
Long story short, I'm really happy with the shoes for what I bought them for. I would pull out the dedicated winter boots to go hiking in the snow, but for day-to-day use in a snowy climate, these are amazing shoes!”
“Anyone who has ever worn ski boots knows they are a necessary evil. You want to wait till the last minute to put them on and take them off as soon as you’re off the mountain. My vessi’s were perfect for that. They kept my feet dry and warm while walking through snow and slush to and from the slopes in 20*F weather, but were small and light enough to throw in my small skiing backpack so I didn’t need to rent a locker. They are really comfortable, more so than I thought they’d be. I bought them for skiing but wear them all the time now. The only negative comes from a positive, they do keep my feet warm in the cold, so I probably won’t wear them in the summer unless it’s really wet out because I think they’ll be too hot then, but we will see in a few months. I was originally turned off by the price but saw how worth it they were the first time I used them and now highly recommend them to anyone in cold, wet, or snowy environments.”
“I work in an ER and I wore my crocs for a while which were very comfortable and great but long story short and bunch of blood got dumped on my very permeable crocs. I cleaned myself off then immediately went online and bought these. I’ve been wearing them for about a month now and they fit super comfortably, although at the beginning they felt a little tight on my feet they broke in quickly. They have done a great job keeping my feet dry through snow, rain and the typical hospital fluids you encounter. I have yet to test them out by dumping blood on them. Hopefully I don’t have to but I think they would hold up.”
“Comfortable, light weight, easy to clean, I literally spent hours walking in them without my feet getting sore or tired. The quality of the shoes is very good. I expect that they will last a very long time. The shoes are everything the company promised they would be. I would happily buy them again.”
“I bought these for my boyfriend and he hadn’t worn any other shoes since then. He says 20 stars out of five! Very comfortable, and look great! He’s also done some stomping in mud puddles just for fun, and his socks stay completely dry”
