Finally, waterproof footwear!
I had been interested in Vessi footwear for a while as they are advertised as being waterproof. I finally decided to purchase a pair when Vessi opened a physical store in Mississauga, Ont. where I could actually try on a pair for fit and comfort. I bought the Everyday Classic and as we were due to go on a holiday within two months, I tried them out at the gym track to wear them in. Well, I took them to Spain and used them every single day for one month. We did an incredible amount of walking daily. Experienced two or three good rainstorms and walked extensively in them. My feet and (regular) socks were bone dry. I did not bother with the sandals I took along as it was too cold! The shoes are very comfortable and fit me perfectly with good support. They breathe well and my feet did not feel sweaty or hot even after walking in them all day. I wanted a pair that was waterproof and light, particularly for travelling. They are attractive enough that I felt comfortable using them for evening wear. I have only tried the one style but they have lived up to the features advertised. If there is a negative (for me) it's that there is a very snug opening in which to slide your feet into. I had a lot of difficulty for a while and had to use a shoehorn. With use, I find that opening has stretched somewhat and I don't have as much trouble ( I still have to use a shoehorn!). I am very happy with my Vessi Everyday Classic and in time will likely buy another, different styled pair.
