“I found out about Vessi through instagram and kept seeing their ads in my feed. Then about a month later when I traveled to Vancouver, a friend told me about his Vessi shoes and told me there was a store in Metrotown. I decided to check it out because these shoes looked stylish and I've always wanted shoes for the rain without having to wear clunky rain boots. I also refuse buy shoes online due to having a strange foot size (my feet are wider than usual) so I was happy to find out that Vessi had a storefront.
I decided to go with the Weekend style. I tried on size 7, 8 and 9. The largest size felt good in terms of width but it was way too long. The 7s felt really good for width (my heels didn't slide out) but it was way too narrow for my wide feet. The 8s were a good compromise and the size that I decided to buy. Though I wish the 8s were slightly wider (toes feel a little cramped) and a less long because I do find my heels sliding out if I power walk. In the future I would love to see these come in half sizes or wide options.
Overall I'm loving my Vessi shoes. Every time I put them on it feels like I'm walking on clouds. They are very comfy and I feel like my feet get the support that they need. I usually wear them for casual walks and small outings. I also love how easy they are to clean. Dirt comes off right away and you don't have to scrub too hard. 5/5 would recommend to a friend!”
“I was looking for a shoe that I could take with me on a trip to the UK. I wanted a durable shoe that also stylish. This was the perfect fit. It was the only pair of shoes I brought on our two week trip (which was crazy, I usually need at least three). I was perfect for the rain, snow, and mud; and was was still comfortable after 2 weeks of walking 15-20k steps a day.”
“These shoes are outstanding. I have never been comfortable in any shoes I owned EVER!!! I’m 68 years young and walk a lot so this means the world to me, immediate comfort, included orthosis, design and colour!
There is only one thing that would make it perfect for me and that is at the back of the shoes there is sort of a tab to grab and help put on the shoe. Very difficult to grab and pull, instead if there was a hoop or something that a finger could slide in and pull, it would make it perfect. Right now I struggle with the small flat tab.
Thank you for your creativity and I thank my daughter for introducing me to your brand.

“The shoes are very comfortable. I like the fact that you can adjust the tightness of the laces to fit and still be able to slip them off and on without having to re-tie each time. Bought these for a trip to Scotland in June so I haven't worn them in the rain yet to see if they will keep my feet dry. Half size would have been nice, but they do fit as expected.”
