100% Protected up to your ankles.

Complete protection all the way up to your ankles. Vessi's upper is built from our proprietary one-piece circle knitting manufacturing process. No seams to allow water to come through.

Breathable and Moisture Wicking. 

Unlike other waterproof shoes, Vessi's Flash Knit upper allows your feet to breathe, reducing sweat and odor build up.

Vessi's Flash Knit is built with 3 Distinct Functional Layers

The Nano-Filtering Membrane and the heart of Vessi's upper is a waterproof and moisture-wicking layer that keeps your feet dry while allowing moisture from your sweat and body heat to escape the shoe. Being waterproof means that the area of your feet covered by Vessi shoes is completely impervious to water. This is not a coating and the waterproofing function will last the lifespan of the shoe.

The Stretch Knit Layer of the Vessi upper is a knitted layer composed of a blend of polyester and nylon. We chose this specific blend to create an elastic yet durable knit that stretches to the shape of your feet. This encourages you to move naturally.

The Comfort Lining is designed to mimic the feeling of wearing socks. It is soft to the touch and form-fitting.

Traditional waterproof shoes tend to be stuffy and make your feet sweat and stink due to its lack of ability to regulate the dispersal of moisture. However, Vessi’s moisture-wicking technology regulates the dispersal of moisture thus reducing feet sweat and the buildup of odor.

Vzero Midsoles

In addition to Vessi’s knit features are it's ultra lightweight Vzero midsoles. The composition of these Vzero’s is designed to maximize energy return while providing flexibility and cushioning for every step. The outsole is enhanced with rubber treads for traction in all weather conditions. The sole’s hardness and density are optimized for a perfect balance of lightness and comfort. 

Vessi will provide you with complete protection against water penetration while water repellent or resistant shoes just repel or resist water to a limited degree and will eventually start getting wet after a short period of time.

Waterproof is the highest level of protection against water. Vessi shoes are waterproof which means it will provide you with complete protection against water penetration and keep your feet dry no matter what. 

Water-repellent is a level down; it is not as easily penetrated by water but you will only stay dry for a short time when exposed to water, rain, or any moisture. 

Water-resistant is the lowest level of water protection. These products are designed to make water penetration more difficult, water can still easily penetrate when the products are exposed to water or moisture for a very short period of time. If you submerge your feet in water-resistant shoes, your socks and feet will be soaking wet.

Sizing Comparison | Vessi's sizing is similar to the fit of many popular running shoes (within a few mm longer than most).

Half Sizes | If you typically wear ½ sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit or sizing down for a snug fit. 

Full Sizes | If you typically wear a full size, we recommend the same size for the best possible fit and comfort.

Size Exchanges | Getting the perfect fit can be difficult especially online. It’s our mission that you get the best possible fit with your Vessi's. Send us a message and we’ll be happy to help you out. 

Still not sure about your size? Here's how you can measure for the right fit.

• Place a piece of paper against the wall. Place one foot on the piece of paper with your heel against the wall. 
• Trace around your feet making sure not to move your heel. 
• Measure your marking from the highest point of your toes to the middle of the heel in cm and add 5 mm. 
• Take the resulting figure and compare this to the JP/CM part of our chart. 

We have spent the past 2 years developing a new waterproofing technology we call Flash Knit. After years of research and dozens of prototypes, we are ready to introduce Vessi to the world. We are confident that Vessi's technology is the next innovation in footwear. Below are the initial sampling molds we used to create our initial testing samples.
