If you're in between sizes you're out of luck. Vessi only offers full sizes... You might need to take out the insole to get the fitting proper. But the trade off is less comfort
Bought Vessi's before I ever started seeing them be advertised on TH-cam, and I am now a returning customer. Their shoes are amazing, especially for snow and slush.
All footwear with a waterproof membrane will be warmer to wear in hot weather. I find Vessis to be significantly cooler than all leather or leather and fabric footwear that also has a waterproof membrane. As far as comfort, the Vessi Weekend sneaker is more cushioned than the Everyday Move shoes (I own both). For me, someone with a large footwear collection, Vessi is my choice for summer days when rain is forecast. Thank you for your review. Best regards.
I don't have a pair. But my immediate concern is as mentioned; waterproof = air tight, which translates to heat retention. My other question is this. If you walk in water what keeps water from flowing in near the ankles. Are they that tight? And if water does flow in it must stay in due to water tightness. I must be missing something.
@@frankbama3684 Waterproof membrane is not airtight. Water molecules are much larger than air molecules are so the membrane does breathe ( to some extent ). No, you cannot walk in water above the ankles. It would get inside the shoes.
Great honest review from someone who has had the "cityscapes" for a couple years now. These are THE BEST shoes for keeping your feet dry during low-demand tasks in weather that is not very hot (I'd say anywhere less than 80 degrees Farenheit). Compared to goretex trailrunners I have my feet sweat less but they are still warmer shoes. Perfect for winter EXCEPT alot of vessi's soles are not that grippy in snow. I will be trying the weekends out soon which look to have their grippiest sole. I am a car detailer and getting your feet wet while washing a car and working on it all day starts to feel terrible as they day goes on. I keep coming back to vessi because they make a show thats great for going out during the winter and also is comfortable during tasks like washing a car where I don;t want to be wearing expensive trail runners with knobby soles. hope this helps some of you as well!
@@BillyVisuals I have used them for travel for over 3.5 years now, form the beach to the heavy snow in north east South Korea. They have held up amazingly well, so much so that I still wear them, and I just ordered a new pair. Not because I will stop wearing the originals, but because the slipon ones I have are not good for inclines so I needed a pair that will stick to my heel on trails with more incline.
yeah it is a bit much but I would say the weakpoint of these shoes is their soles are not that supportive or grippy, but overall they are great for winter & water-related applications as long as its not above like 80 degrees F, I would say. I have had the cityscapes for a couple years now. Going to be trying the weekends to see if that sole is alot better as it looks to have the most structure and grip so far.
@@MarkTrades__ Nice to hear! I have the city scape classic they've been a joy, even through mud puddles still not dirty at all the mud water beads right off. Flexible right out the box, although the front and sides have some wear it hold ups nice I find them a lot more comfortable than my work boots because of how lightweight they are, the fact they conform to my feet and are more breathable. However, I don't wear them to work for the durability aspect. Other than that throughout the seasons as long as you have average weather rainy or sunny and not extreme extreme heat or anything I think they are great!
Hey, just wanted to say I had no idea this was marketed so heavily. I bought it because it was vegan, and I really really really love it. And it’s water proof I walk through creeks all the time.
I have the white weekend shoes and since the first day of wearing them outside, they have NEVER looked as they did out of the box. Even after cleaning they will always have brown tint to them from all the dirt and it will never go back to how they looked out of the box. I'd say if you're going to get them, get a dark color. I have grey Vessi shoes and they still look good after 2 years but the white ones? Never again.
Thanks for the review! I bought two Everydays and was both delighted and disappointed. I was living in Latin America and absolutely noticed how not breathable they were, despite their claims. I was hoping the Everyday Moves would fare better, but I guess not. It's a pass until they can figure out venting!
I’m having problems returning Vessi shoes. They are saying the exchange time is too late and the code expired on April 30 which was a Sunday. I had surgery. I can’t get a hold of them. I am agrevated.
I'm looking into their shoes because I live in Idaho, where it's like rainy/snowy for like 80% of the year. The problem is I need shoes with a wide toe box and I wear an 8.5-9 in women's, so I may go to a 9.5 in their snow boots. If they are a little big it won't matter because I have super thick socks to keep my feet even warmer.
thought about getting these as i love to go out doors and near bodies of water but the price seems to steep for me, i have tons of shoes for every day use and it doesnt rain much here so i think im gonna stick with getting some 30 dollar water shoes off of amazon
I just bought my 2nd pair of the weekend sneakers. I love that i can walk through wet grass and my feet stay dry. I find them very comfortable. Good cushion and wide enough for my feet. I don't find the style the most appealing but they are fine. Kind of remind me vaguely of skater shoes. Worth it to keep my feet dry. Comfortable enough to go on long walks. Tried street salsa in them but they don't hold to my feet well enough for spins so i changed into cheer sneakers for that. Lol Anyway, I recommend them. I think this is a good review.
So I paused this review 2:40 right when you talked about sweeting. Unless they changed something in their materials, my opinion doesn't count. I bought a pair of Everyday Classics 2 years ago. I brag all the time how my feet don't sweet as much compared to every shoe that I have owned. I play disc golf. And this is my go-to for all weather in the the woods and in the the wide open. The Everyday Classic far exceeded my assumptions.
I had a pair of Keens that I purchased, at the same time, for $140 and they tore up from being in the woods. I paid less for the Vessi and the material is more durable than expected, but stained.
Ahh, that sweet sweet armpit sweet. Erm.. Feet sweet? Certainly not spelt "sweat" How do you spell sweater? Sweeter? How do you describe something that is more sugary than something else?
@@squeegel3904 but when my feet are extra sweety. I can can only consider the Vessi, non-sweety. (Since making a joke on the typo, why not feed ya) sweety feets
I haven't tried them yet but if I were correct about this, I think they used the same type of manufacturing technique which is to put a waterproof lining underneath the knit upper to protect it from water. So maybe if you buy half size up it wouldn't feel as congested and warm? If you buy true to size you should take it the insole, this way you'll give yourself a bit more wiggly room in the shoe for "breathability" . But during winter time if you put in the insole, it will be warm but also pretty tight. If it's too tight, you might give yourself a numb foot
Yeah thank you! I was thinking of buying some for work, not sure whether to go with the storm burst or the Chelsea. Also I already have the cityscape classics and love them!
I can tell just by seeing a few steps taken in the shoes that they're terrible all around, especially for the price. They have decent looking shoe styles, but that's about it. A $50 pair of skechers will be more comfortable. Over time these shoes will stretch out and become loose, even the non slip on version. The sole is clearly way too stiff and not flexible enough, and probably not anymore durable than a typical pair of shoes, or less durable. They're also priced around the same as a pair of Allbird shoes, with a somewhat similar style. And even Allbird's aren't amazing, but better than these for sure. These shoe companies think that by making the price high, people think they're getting something special, but that's not really how it works. The bigger name companies are just generally better because they have the volume and materials to be better. I'd be surprised if these shoes cost more than $5 for the factory to make, while they sell it for $100-$150. I won't support such gluttony. I mean we already know even Nike's best shoes costs dollars to make. And forget "vegan" and "carbon neutral" shoes, it's a lie. Even if it wasn't, you have to consider that the more money you pay for something, the more carbon you generate by having to make the money to pay that higher price. So in reality, shoes like these are actually putting out more than twice the carbon of a typical pair of shoes, making them not neutral at all.
Shoe factory here. Their quality is or the best, but cost 25+ dollar to make the shoes. 😂 consider their marketing fees and a lot of SKUs for shoes, the price are not too high
I dunno man, leather shoes in rain is not really what you want to run. I know you can waterproof them to some extent but leather absorbs water (sure it dries) but it also deforms after every wet-dry cycle
I went true to size and it feels so bad and I wonder if I can get wide fit. Also in Alaska and they shipped from Vancouver, BC and then they shipped it to the east coast US and then back up to Alaska, are you for real? I’m right next door to Vancouver 🤦♂️
I bought this brand a while ago to support them as a local business.,but very uncomfortable insoles and when I contacted their warranty department, they offered me Dr. Scholl’s insoles. In my opinion, it is not worth it. There are way better brands in the market.
I was trying on in the store, and I found it isnt that comfortable. As well, I found some of their shoes are made in Cambodia, and I would refuse to buy anything from there because the industries there are asking workers working long hours and just paying the workers a little.
Agreed, I also live in Toronto and the super hot summer's it's not wearable, it gets too hot and the comfort absolutely sucks. Too bad I bought a pair based on a content creator and it will now collect dust. Will stick to ultraboosts.

Of course! Thanks for tuning in :)

This is a great perspective that I never thought of. Thanks for your insight. I hope the weekend works out for you
Had mine for a good two years. Used them for work purposes only and they perform great.
That's awesome it's perfect as a commuter shoe

Nice! I'm certain there's a market for these shoes. And it really is fantastic that it covers a market that doesn't really exist.
@@BillyVisuals yeah, great for if you just need a casual shoe which may need to walk through some snow or slush
I never trust a brand that has an insane amount of marketing.

Same, in Alaska, was hoping they would be great for hiking and work since they are “breathable” but that’s not the case

All they need to do to win me over is add more arch support. Nothing else.
True, that's a good point. It's really flat
For now I’m going to continue wearing my brooks revels. They’re really comfortable, not expensive, and look better than the brooks launch imo.
@@DeclanCunningham Im going to continue wearing nothing.

Despite certain setbacks, If you ever catch these on sale they are still really great shoes.
Thank you for the review. Just saw the Alto and this helps a lot.
Thanks for the comments. You pretty much confirmed what I theorized. Good example of why I won't buy clothes online.
Great review video! I was going to order these but have been on the fence.
what's your recommendation on heavy storm travel shoes?
Thanks for helping me decide whether or not to purchase this~
My vessis ripped in less than 2 years and they refuse to replace them :)
😥
I cant wait i just bought a pair hopefully they are on par with pumas! (I've seen very good reviews so far! Hopefully ill be a returning customer!)
Please review alternative for these shoes that offer the same features as Vessi
I just bought my 2nd pair of the weekend sneakers. I love that i can walk through wet grass and my feet stay dry.

Anyway, I recommend them. I think this is a good review.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! What's the cheer sneaker?
@BillyVisuals I don't remember the brand I bought. It's a white sneaker for cheer leading. I use it for West Coast swing and salsa dancing.
@@Kessyra ah I see!
Thanks for your honest and helpful review of this shoe I am considering buying.

@@raidonbay I dont recall ordering any sweet feet, but either way dont threaten me with a good time!
Ve-ssi what I did there? 😏
gonna order one for work do you think their Chelsea style would be too warm on the feet?

@@BillyVisuals thanks for the advice, wouldn’t it be less comfy with no insole?
@@TaiYeungJai yes very very uncomfortable. I should've mentioned this is a tradeoff
@@TaiYeungJai Definitely. Buy half size up and keep the insole. If you wear a half size, say 9.5, go up to 10. Do not buy in size 9.

The only down side on the is that their not good on flat feet

Double these with duck hunting waders.
When you step in an ankle deep puddle and the water pours in the sides of your shoes that's when they stop being waterproof. Not very waterproof
take a shot everytime he says sneaker
😂 alcohol shortage incoming
fckk i bought 1 size down
So you bought a shoe to review and make ad revenue off. Dunked them in water for 8 minutes and are planning on returning them? That’s pretty crappy
👍
Wow! What a honest review thanks so much! You answered every question I had!
