“The best shoes/runners I have ever purchased. I am a golfer and so I mostly wear them for golf since it may suddenly rain or the course is just wet from dew or watering. I have gotten soaked BUT my feet stayed dry! I think these Vessi’s are now the talk at the club. They are super light, comfy and fit perfectly. I plan on buying another pair in a different color. Thank you VESSI!”
“too soon for a full opinion. haven't gotten wet with them yet, but they do need a clean after a handful of wears. they're comfortable, but unfortunately a half size too small. i ordered based on the size chat where my European size 38 was supposed to be a 7. Sadly, they turned out a smidgen too tight with my toes touching. The next size up 8 qould equal EUropean 39.5 which would be way too big according to Erupoean standards. So not sure what size to order if i went for a replacement or other pair. My hope is they will get looser over time (length wise, the width is fine). I also find the socks that came with it a bit too thick/heavy for the shoe size. Been wearing the shoes and socks in 10 to 30+ degree weather for street walking and a short mountain hike and also found them to be quite hot, but that might be due to the size issue too. Otherwise, i can tell how they'd be quite comfortable. My partner has two different models and loves them both.”
Hi Henni,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm glad your Vessis are keeping you dry and comfortable!
We’re sorry to hear your are finding Vessis half size too small. The material works similar to how socks fit, in the sense that it adapts to your foot shape. The more you wear them, the more it gives and stretches to mold to you. Therefore, it’s actually quite normal for your Vessis to be a little snug to start. Some customers use a shoehorn in the meantime, which should help. You can also speed up the stretching process by leaving a few pairs of thick socks balled up inside the shoes overnight. That said, I'll be sure to pass your feedback along to our Product team, as we are always looking to improve.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts on your Vessis with us.
“I really like these shoes, and the sizing recommendation on website for wide feet (to get men’s one size down) was perfect! It’s a literal pain when the shoes are too tight, and I’d not heard before how men’s would be wider. Bought Pumas in the past and can’t fully utilize those because they pinch after a few hours standing at work. Another feature I love is the stretchiness of the material. That is different than most sneakers. The only small improvement I’d say is possibly adding a substantial pull tab on the back. It would make it easier to get them on, but that’s not a big deal. It hasn’t rained hard lately, so I haven’t had a way to test the waterproof feature fully. In light rain, it kept my feet totally dry though.”
“They fit true to size, are lightweight and really comfortable. I'm pleasantly surprised and can't wait to wear them through a Vancouver fall/ winter/ spring.”
