With magic! Just kidding, it's actually thanks to our patented Dyma-tex® technology.

Unlike other waterproof materials, our technology is directly integrated into the knit. It's engineered with thousands of nano-sized pores small enough to keep water out while letting sweat and heat escape.

No harsh chemicals, coatings, or sprays here!

We're always launching new styles and colours! Core shades are available year-round with restocks happening every 3-5 weeks. Limited edition colours, however, are only available while supplies last.

Want to know when core colours come back? Sign up to receive an email alert on the product page. Just chose your size, enter your email, and we'll be in touch when they come back in stock.

Vessi shoes come in whole sizes only. Our flexible, form-fitting knit conforms to your feet for a personalized fit, even if in between sizes.

If you're a half size, we recommend choosing your most common whole US size.

Need a bit more help? For more information on sizing please click here.

Vessi shoes aren't certified as non-slip. That said, all our collections are designed with a rubber Herringbone pattern on the tread to help with traction.

Please explore safely!

You bet! Our shoes are unisex with slight width differences between men's and women's sizes.

Men's collections are 1-2 mm wider than women's. So, if you're normally a women's 9, you would be a men's 8 and vice versa.

For those looking for a wider option, we recommend choosing from the men's collection for the best fit.

A little confused? We’re here to help.

Email us at support@vessi.com and we’ll give you a hand finding the right size for you.

Up to you! Our patentented Dyma-tex® knit material is super breathable and soft to the touch, so whether or not you chose to wear socks is personal preference.

That said, wearing socks can help wick moisture and heat away from your feet, which can improve comfort and prevent early wear.

Lucky for you, we carry ankle and crew socks specifically designed for Vessi shoes.

Sure thing! Our insoles are removable to accommodate custom insoles and orthotics.

You get to customize fit, comfort, and support to your liking.

We recommend hand washing for the best results.

1) Start off with a clear detergent (yellow-tinted ones can stain your shoes), and a soft toothbrush or cloth.
2) Run your shoes under warm water and gently scrub affected areas.
3) Rinse well. Repeat step 2 if necessary.
4) Set aside to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.

The Weekend Sneaker collection is our only machine-washable line. Follow the below steps for the best results:

1) Remove insoles and laces.
2) Machine wash cold, not hot.
3) Wash on their own and not with other items
4) Do not tumble dry. Vessis are air-dry only.

A note on lighter colours: Even with intense care, some brighter shades are likely to show wear faster. We recommend periodically cleaning them to keep them looking fresh.

You can shop for Vessis online, right here on our website!

We don't currently work with any third-party resellers, although we do have the occasional pop-up where you can see the shoes in action.

We’re aware that fraudulent sites and advertisements claiming to sell Vessi products at a discounted price are out there, and our team is working hard to take the appropriate action against these counterfeit sellers.

At this time, our only domain is Vessi.com. Any domain claiming to be Vessi that is not Vessi.com is considered fraudulent and not authorized by Vessi.

Vessis are also available for purchase at select retailers both online and in store in both US and Canada. If you have any questions or concerns prior to making your purchase, please reach out to our support team at support@vessi.com.

Vessis are designed in Vancouver, Canada and manufactured in Taiwan, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

We make a point of partnering with factories that align with our core values and share our sustainability goals.

All our manufacturing partners are:

• BlueSign certified
• BSCI participants
• ISO 14001 compliant
• Oeko-Tex certified
• GRS certified
• Higgs Index rated

No PFAs or harsh chemicals here! Our Dyma-tex® technology is 100% waterproof thanks to how the knit is engineered, not because of any chemical sprays or coatings.

Vessi products do not contain latex. However, midsoles are made out of lightweight EVA and outsoles are made of rubber.

Given how similar the chemical composition of these materials is to latex, those with a latex allergy might find Vessis can cause an unwanted reaction.

At Vessi, we’re doing our best to make our shoes as good for the planet as they are for your feet. We're constantly evaluating new practices to help lower our carbon footprint.

Here are a few mindful manufacturing practices we've adopted so far:

• Lifelong waterproofing without harsh chemical coatings.
• Less amount of raw materials.
• Recyclable packaging.
• 100% vegan materials.

We're not perfect, but we work to offset our impact by funding community-led environmental projects around the world. You can read more about that here.

We will always provide an estimated shipping date for every pre-order item (you'll find it right above the "add to cart" button). While we do our very best to make sure your order is shipped on or before this date, sometimes things can take a little longer than expected due to supply chain issues.

As soon as we have your pre-order in stock and ready to go we'll move it into the processing stage. From there it can take anywhere from 1-3 business days to ship out.

You'll be charged the full price upon placing your order. This is done to secure your reservation and limit product waste on our end.
