“I loved the look and feel. It goes well with every outfit. Functionality-wise, it does exactly as advertised. I did have to size down because my real size was too large at the opening. I wish you would carry half sizes since it now tends to be too snug. Overall, extremely happy with my purchase. Will definitely repurchase another style!!”
“I loved them from the moment I tried them on, they are super comfortable and the day it rained I took advantage of every puddle to try them on, totally awesome. I would buy them again”
“Very comfortable during my vacation in Japan! Went during rainy season and aside from them not getting wet, I wore this pair for three weeks without feeling the need to switch shoes like I usually do. Highly recommend!”
“The shoe itself is comfortable but the opening constricts your ankle from the slightest amount of swelling. I wore them to a baseball game and did a lot of walking and my ankles were killing me by the end of the night. They are comfortable and cute but if you’re walking a lot, not the best.”
Hi Sara,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re sorry to hear you’re finding your Vessis too 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.
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. 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.
