“We are going to Italy soon and we are limited on space, SO, I need to bring only 2 pair of shoes. I bought my Vessis and gave them a test run on a trip to Key West! They survived Duval Street and St. Patrick's Day!! Got them home, cleaned them up with Dawn spray and a brush. Look great....Italy, here I come!!”
“I am a little disappointed in how hard it is to keep the shoes clean. I have had them for about 2 weeks, and find myself ha ING to wash them/clean them regularly. I follow the steps on the Vessi website, but find that many of the dirt/staining does not come out. I went with the white because I like how it looks sharp and can be dressed up/down depending. However, part of me wished I went with a darker colour that would hid more of the dirt. The knit part of the shoe especially catches dirt and keeps it there even after clean it ng and washing.”
Hi Jason.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We're so sorry to hear you are having a tough time getting your shoes clean, but we'd be happy to share some cleaning tips! We find that the key is to clean our shoes sooner rather than later. The quicker you can rinse off dirt, the easier it will be to keep them nice and clean. We recommend using a sponge or light coloured cloth made with natural fibers, baking soda, and vinegar for the best results.
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 shoes are comfortable. Good laces. Pacific Northwest rainproof. A simple style. Vegan. My one complaint is the removal insoles. I've never been a fan of removable insoles since they can slide around with too much movement.
Be warned: they will stain easily so don't be afraid to get them in the wash ASAP if you run through some mud.”
