PUTTING OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

Making an impact involves small, intentional steps.

And we’re committed to making those steps through sustainable choices for our community. It’s common in the footwear industry to use large amounts of water, energy, and excess material—we do the opposite.

MINIMAL IMPACT, MAXIMUM COMFORT

We’re passionate about creating products that support our people and our planet.

VEGAN

We strongly believe that no animals should be harmed in the name of fashion. That’s why Vessi’s shoes are 100% vegan. Unlike most footwear on the market, we use water-based adhesives for glue. And any leather or suede details are engineered using synthetic materials. We’re committed to inspiring change, one shoe at a time.

WATERPROOF

Rain or shine, your feet will stay dry—thanks to our Dyma-tex waterproof layer. Without going too deep into the science, let’s just say it prevents water molecules entering from the outside, while allowing heat and moisture to escape from the inside. We use zero harmful chemicals or coating in our process.

SUSTAINABILITY

It’s not enough to just make products and sell them. You must have a purpose. Our sustainability efforts are not only for the people of today, but for the people of tomorrow. We have proudly reduced water usage by 30%, energy consumption by 600%, and material waste by 97%.

DURABLE & LIGHTWEIGHT

Our shoes are built to withstand elemental torture. Rain, sleet, snow, dirt, and mud are simply no match for Vessi. The elements just slide right off, keeping your feet dry and your shoes looking as good as the first day you got em. And, at just 6.7 ounces per shoe, you’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds.

WOMEN'S MEN'S

“The 100% waterproof, breathable knit shoe is ideal for mixed-weather vacations where you might get caught in a sudden downpour.”

“These waterproof shoes might be the most comfortable rainy-day footwear ever.”

“The waterproof shoes you can wear for an entire trip.”

"Vessi Footwear, created by three Vancouverites, has become my answer: comfortable, lightweight, attractive knit sneakers that can be worn in all types of weather – even slush and snow, they say."

"I’ve tried other sneakers that claim to be fully waterproof in the past, but this is the only pair that have actually kept my feet completely dry even during the biggest of rainstorms."

Reviews of Vessi’s Vegan Shoes

"These are even cuter in person and so comfortable (unless you don’t wear them with socks they will leave heal blisters) Yes, they are very expensive, but I feel good contributing to quality that comes from a conscious company that cares about the planet and the animals. I’m grateful for companies like these and because of their high standards, these shoes fit my heart too."

"OMG! I’ve been following Vessi for years and finally got a pair for my birthday! The product does not disappoint! I love that its lightweight, 100% waterproof, easy to clean and they use vegan materials! I take my Vessis on my adventures because you can never know with the weather and it’s stylish. It’s first adventure was in Hawaii, we got through rain, beaches, sandy hikes, and lava rocks! Ready to buy another pair because why not."

"I am not one to write reviews... ever. But these shoes impressed me so much I’ve been raving to my family and friends. They are genuinely the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. The waterproof ability is amazing. I love that this brand is vegan as well, as that is a huge concern of mine. I would recommend this shoe to anyone and everyone. If you’re on the fence, just BUY IT!! I promise that you’ll be in love ."
