The Ultimate Gift for Dog Parents this Holiday Season: Vessi Footwear Review 2022
Vessi sent me these shoes to review. All opinions are my own.
I, like most dog owners, spend a ton of time outdoors walking and exercising my pups. Rainy walks, muddy hiking trails, and playing in the snow (I own huskies after all!) are all just part of my weekly routine at this point! That is why I was so excited to discover Vessi footwear, which is not only comfortable and stylish, but also waterproof! The holidays are right around the corner and if you’re looking for the perfect gift for any dog parents this year, look no further. Today, I’m sharing my full review of Vessi footwear.
What is Vessi Footwear?
Vessi is a Canadian footwear brand that creates completely waterproof/weatherpoof shoes that are vegan and cruelty free! They work in all types of wet weather from rain to mud and even snow! Their shoe choices range from mens, to women’s, to kids and come in a variety of styles including sneakers, boots, and even slippers. They also sell accessories such as socks and hats, and trust me when I say their ankle socks are some of the most comfortable socks I have ever worn.
We all know the struggle of having to go out on a rainy day and getting your shoes soaked. Wet shoes equals wet socks, aka one of the worst feelings in the world! Unfortunately, rain and snow boots don’t always go with every outfit, but Vessi footwear is the perfect choice to keep your toes dry year round.
My Honest Vessi Footwear Review
Vessi sent me a pair of their Everyday Move sneakers along with a pair of their Everyday Classic sneakers. Upon receiving them I was already obsessed with the quality and look of these shoes! I didn’t even have to try them on to know they were going to be incredibly high quality-and I was right!
I wore my Everyday Move sneakers out on a hike with my dog, Luna, right along a river preserve and it was the perfect place to test them out. I was amazed that they were comfortable to wear right from the beginning. There was no phase of having to break them in and convince yourself purchasing them wasn’t a mistake. I was able to put them on and walk a 4 mile hike without any issue! In fact, they were by far the most comfortable shoe I have hiked in to date.
But while comfortability is great, I was most excited to test out their waterproof feature and I was not let down. I think I audibly gasped when I stepped into the river, my foot fully submerged in the water, and my sock didn’t even become slightly damp. The technology behind these shoes are insane! They look and feel just like regular sneakers and so while I was not expecting it to be a hoax, I was still in awe.
I find myself walking in wet and muddy areas with my dogs constantly so these are a game changer! Long gone are the days of avoiding puddles and begging my dogs not to drag me into creeks. You can truly walk in the water without your feet ever getting wet in these shoes!
I was also amazed by how easily they cleaned. Of course, being bright white sneakers, they did become a little dirty during our hike but any mud was easily removed with a wet rag when I got home!
Dogs don’t stop needing to go outside when the weather gets gross, so these shoes are a must have for any dog owners.
