“I love the shoes they are perfect fit comfortable for all my walks and great for working in retail. Only thing I have is they hot dirty in two days and I work inside and the white is not white it’s more of a dark grey. Other than that I will buy more just not in a white.”
“These shoes look great and are actually waterproof, but they hurt my feet (specifically, the joints in my big toes, on both feet). They fit well and were initially comfortable, and I have been trying everything to make sure I break them in and it wasn't a one-off as I was really hoping they would be my go-to shoe for all walks because they are super cute. They are great in the rain though, so for now I will continue to use them for those short walks.”
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, we really appreciate it.
We're sorry to hear you’re finding your Vessis a little tight. For some reference, however, it’s actually quite normal for the ankle opening to be a little snug to start.
Over the first few wears of your new shoes, you’ll notice that the upper knit and ankle opening will stretch to accommodate your foot shape. By starting tighter, this allows the shoe to mold to your ankle shape - making sure no water seeps in through the ankle opening.
I totally understand your worry about the tightness, but I can assure you that the opening will start to loosen up within the next few wears. 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.
“These shoes are SO comfortable! I work on the frontline in healthcare and these are so comfy on my feet all day! I also love the waterproof function as I am also a mom of 4 yo twins and we are outside rain or shine!”
“Love how comfortable my Vessi's are! I wore them for the first time to a conference. They didn't need to be broken in at all and my feet felt great after being in them for 3 days straight. They also looked really nice with professional and casual clothes. Highly recommend!”
“I typically wear an 8 1/2 and they were so right, the 8 fits perfectly! The cloudfoam soles are so comfortable! I wore them on a business trip; through the airport and they looked professional with my white denims and with a casual sun dress!”
