Strong product and customer service
This is my third pair of Vessi since 2018 and I had never felt the need to engage with the Vessi customer service team until I bought a pair that was too light in colour for me to clean and maintain. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick Michael and Bea responded over email (within 1-2 hours) and sorted me out with a replacement. I appreciate their active listening to understand my core issues and taken steps to address it. Vessi's online warranty form is also streamlined and easy to follow, they've got the process down. When it comes to Vessi shoes in general, here's what I tell my friends: Great rain shoes, the best I've found so far and I've tried rubber boots, sprays, geotex, and plastic. Comfortable too, which isn't a word I'd use to describe the formerly listed. It is as waterproof as they shoe in the videos (step into swimming pool, ok) for around longer than a year. Afterwards, I may feel a little damp if I stand out the whole day in rain, so complete seal isn't forever but a year+ then a mostly waterproof / highly water-resistant shoe is still the best I've found to date. Nothing is ever bullet proof forever but great value for what you get and nothing tops it yet. The styles are great, material flexible and soft like a regular casual athletic shoe. Friends ask if it gets stuffy because it is waterproof, a little, but around the same if you took a breathable running shoe, run in it for 5 minutes, that's your level of warm / sweat for a whole day's Vessi wear. A tiny bit noticeable if you really focus on it but chances are, you won't be thinking about it. The shoe soles I noticed have been evolving, from the initial flat sole to now some more sophistication with the newer models which is exciting. Overall, great product, strong customer service. I would recommend. I look forward to another future pair.
