Vessi's forthcoming knit shoes bring a lightweight sneaker style to the water-deflecting powers of your rain boots. Vessi says their Flash Knit technology will keep the shoes 100% waterproof - and your feet 100% dry up to your ankles - for their whole wearable life.
Because Vessi Shoes are exceptionally breathable, the choice to wear or not to wear socks is up to you. However, the company does recommend wearing socks with their shoes as they will help wick moisture and heat away from your feet, improving comfort and preventing early wear and tear of the shoe.
Unfortunately, Vessi Shoes are not yet available in wide sizes. However, because of their knit material, their shoes tend to fit around the foot much like a sock, and some customers with wide feet report having no issues wearing the shoes. According to their website, Vessi Shoes will hug and stretch over your feet to adapt to your unique shape over time.
This largely depends on the difficulty of the hike and the desired comfort level of the user while hiking. While Vessi Shoes are incredibly comfortable by all accounts for the purposes of traveling, walking around the city, and light hiking, some customers suggest that it might be safer to wear hiking shoes with more ankle support when going on a more serious hike through difficult terrain. However, for the experienced hiker who prefers hiking in trail running shoes and is willing to take the chance that they might be more susceptible to injury, Vessi Shoes are a good choice.
Yes, Vessi Shoes are for the most part nonslip/slip-resistant. Their Everyday Sneakers feature an ultra-lightweight and bouncy sole with a slip-resistant herringbone grip. And their Weekend Sneaker is officially their most slip-resistant shoe, as it features a full-length rubber outsole for more grip, and a new triangular tread pattern for more traction.
According to the countless reviews raving about Vessi Shoes, we must presume that their shoes are, in fact, quite good. With their patented Dyma-tex membrane that allows heat and moisture in the form of sweat to escape, while keeping water from getting in, Vessi Shoes have succeeded in creating the most lightweight truly waterproof shoe ever created. Add to this their trendy styling and attractive color selection as well as their sustainable manufacturing process (purportedly require 600% less energy), and you have a shoe brand that has taken consumers by storm while keeping them dry throughout ;)
Yes, Vessi Shoes are really waterproof. Their Flash Knit technology with its patented Dyma-tex membrane woven into the knit keeps the shoes 100% waterproof, and your feet dry up to the ankle.
