Reason 01

Because Even When There’s Sun, There’s Rain

You know the drill. The weather app says clear, and the next thing you know, it’s a torrential downpour, your socks are soaked, and there’s suddenly a puddle below your feet at all times. Not anymore. Vessi’s 100% waterproof shoes are among the most practical purchases you’ll ever make living in Raincouver.

Reason 02

One Shoe for Work and Play

Walk around the Seawall, bike to work, grab a beer at Granville Island, or stroll The Drive, without having to change your shoes. Vessi offers minimalistic designs that go with everything in your closet for a relaxed, everyday look.

Reason 03

Made by Vancouverites, for Vancouverites

Vessi was founded by three Vancouver locals who wanted to make the city’s unpredictable weather something to celebrate. After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign in 2018, Vessi’s 100% waterproof sneaker was born. Today, the cult-favourite shoes have over 1 million fans around the world and here in Vancouver.

Reason 04

Sea to Sky Comfort

It won’t take long for these to become your everyday shoe. Go seamlessly from the Sunshine Coast, camping in Squamish, to a Tofino surf trip. Vessis are ready for whatever terrain the west coast throws your way, with 4-way stretch and cushioning midsoles for all-day comfort. Slip them on and get out there.

Don't Take it From Us...

As a new mom, just the idea of waterproof shoes are a godsend! It’s one less thing to worry about for myself since I’m so preoccupied with my little one. So far I’m in love as I use them as my day to day shoes for going on walks and running errands.

I’ve had no problems dashing around town in the rain in these babies.

I was skeptical for sure living in downtown van I come across a puddle or two. As an adult you should walk around. But as a kid you jump into it, I use to walk around them, but I wanted to put my vessi shoes to the test, so jumped in feet first without socks. Amazingly, my feet were dry, my toes were comfy and snuggly in the shoe, and I could have probably done singing in the rain in it’s entirety and still been dry, (two things, I now have 3 pairs, and I can’t sing) but I can shop.

A must have for raincouver - II walk every morning before I start work. If I didn’t have my Vessis, I would definitely think twice about venturing out most days. But with them, I don’t even have to think about it! And any dog walker knows - these are a must have because the dogs don’t let you skip days.
