TLDR: Good quality, looks good, doesn't breathe enough generating extreme heat unless in very weather.

I live in Vancouver CA and bought these over the summer. I'm not a fan of the flaring outward soles but in general the shoe looks really slick. Very comfortable when you first put it on, and since they are slip ins it is really easy to get them on and off.

The problems arise when you walk for a while. In my first test run I went out for a long walk, the sole of my feet go extremely hot to the point I had to stop for a second to let them cool. Eventually I got blisters from heat / friction. I was wearing relatively thick socks so I figured it was that. I tried with thin and no socks and although it helped the problem persisted. The only days I've been able to use this succesfully are colder days and rainy days. Very dissapointed because I really like the shoe, but I can't wear it everyday as the product describes.

I am going into my second season of ownership, I have the black slip-on style of shoe. I have a seasonal job operating a small tour boat and had always come home with wet feet and during the workday, I was work in slippery areas. The shoes have stood up very well and I am not easy on shoes and no more wet feet during the winter, spring, summer or fall. I would like to purchase another pair, however, I find your pricing to be rather high and during these tough economic times, I will have to wait for a sale or get back to work full time.

These are comfy; like slippers in shoe form. Very stylish, fully functional, super comfortable, everyday shoes; a must have.

Just a week and maybe 45km into these slip on Vessis and I’m very happy so far. Maybe a little lacking in arch support; we’ll see.
