“Very comfortable right from the first wear. One downside is they’re very easy to get dirty, even more so than other white shoes, because of the outer material”
“Shoes are super comfortable right from the start. No breaking in period.
I just wish they would stay cleaner, they get dirty very fast and are not machine washable.”
“When I tried on my new White Weekender shoes at home, I thought they are really comfortable and exactly what I was looking for.. Until I started wearing them outside and realized they stain so easily, turn gray after 3 wears. I know the fabric is not leather so it will stain easier, but this is still too much. I still kept my shoes and wear them running errands when I don’t mind looking sharp and crisp. I was excited to wear them with my nice loungewear outfits outside however. The shoes have a very good look to them too.”
Hi Gizem,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us, we really appreciate it.
While Vessis are 100% waterproof, they’re not stain-proof. And so the lighter colors we offer do need a bit more care if you’re looking to keep them looking out-of-the-box for longer. With that in mind, we’re not able to exchange or return worn sneakers.
We did want to provide some cleaning tips that will help with keeping them as clean as possible:
• For the knit, we recommend something like Dr. Bronner products. They offer a gentle but effective clean. Their detergent specifically shows the best results without causing any damage to the waterproofing membrane.
• Soak them in warm water. While using your water-based soap or laundry detergent, scrub them gently with a soft sponge to get all dirt/stains off.
• Leave them to dry and repeat until stains lift. Please do not bleach your shoes as this will damage the membrane.
• Try using white toothpaste (it works!) on the knit. We've had customers reporting this as another method for achieving clean results for their pair again.
We hope that helps! Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at support@vessi.com if you have any other questions.
“Very comfortable! I typically wear a size 6 and have narrow feet. I ordered a size 5 based on other reviews and they fit perfectly. Unless you have wide feet, I would size down.”
