How Can We Help You?

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.

We offer half sizes for the Tidal Sneaker, Uptown Chelsea and the Market Flat.

If you're interested in our other styles, 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 patented Dyma-tex® knit material is super breathable and soft to the touch, so whether or not you choose 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, Crew, Mid Crew and No Show 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 frequent hand washing for the best results.

1) Gently remove loose dirt using a dry, soft-bristled shoe brush, cloth, or sponge. Remove laces and wash separately by hand in a mixture of warm water and baking soda

2) Spot treat by putting a small amount of baking soda directly on the affected area. Spritz white vinegar on it, or dab it on with a cloth. Using the cloth, gently wipe in circular motions to get into the small grooves of the knit material

3) Rinse the affected area with cold water, and repeat as needed until clean.

4) Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat source like a radiator

The Alta High Tops, Boardwalk Slip-ons, Market Flats, Stormburst Low Tops and Weekend collection is our only machine-washable lines. 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: If dirt or mud is left on for too long, it’s more likely to leave a mark. The quicker you can give your Vessis a rinse, the easier it’ll be to keep them looking fresh.

Select Vessis are also available in retailers across Canada and the United States. Check out this page to find a location near you

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.us@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 shoes don't contain latex, but our gloves have latex in the grip. The midsoles of our shoes 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.

A pre-order is a product that can be purchased before it arrives at our warehouse. This allows you to reserve a unit and make sure you don't ever miss out.

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 1-5 business days to ship out.

You'll be charged the full price upon placing your order. This is done to secure your reservation

Sure thing! Just like with any other Vessi order, cancellations and edits (pre-shipment) are possible.
