Vessi Women's Weekend Sneakers review

Introduction: This summer one of the most viral must haves were the Vessi Weekend sneakers. Lauded due to its revolutionary waterproof material, the Women's Weekend Sneakers, is a pair designed to seamlessly blend comfort, style, and functionality. In this review, I'll explore the highlights and drawbacks of these sneakers, and provide my overall rating.







Fit and Comfort : Starting on a high note, the fit of these sneakers is pure bliss. The cushioned midsole adds that extra layer of comfort, ensuring your feet are soft. I tested them out by doing various activities this summer. They were great for running errands and going out with friends. However, when I spend the day at the fair or all day at the mall shopping, they cause my feet to hurt. If you're someone who struggles with foot pain or flat feet, I'd recommend you don't buy these.


Aesthetics: Style-wise, the Vessi Women's Weekend Sneakers have a trendy look that effortlessly transitions from leisurely brunches to on-the-go activities. They have a diverse palette of colours available. I purchased the white ones, their most popular shade. They have a clean put together look that most sneakers fail to acheive.


Waterproof Technology: One of the best features is the Dyma-tex® 100% waterproof technology. These sneakers are like your feet's personal raincoat, shielding them from unexpected weather. The waterproof magic is a game-changer, earning these kicks extra points for practicality. I walked home in the rain for half an hour int these shoes and my socks did not get wet.


Material Choices: The sneakers boast a range of unique material choices:

  • Dyma-tex® Technology: The star of the show, this waterproof technology ensures your feet stay dry, even in the rainiest weather.

  • Breathable Upper Knit: The temperature-regulating and breathable upper knit contributes to a comfortable wearing experience. The shoes are thin and breathable enough that they do not overheat.

  • Vegan Materials: An ethical choice, the sneakers are crafted using vegan materials, aligning with a cruelty-free lifestyle.


Drawbacks:

  1. Stains easily: While these sneakers ace the waterproof game, they have a soft spot for stains. Light colours, in particular, tend to flaunt every mark, needing extra attention to keep them looking pristine.

  2. Lace Struggles: The laces on these sneakers have a rebellious streak. They seem to have a party of their own, frequently untying themselves. My advice – invest in a separate set of laces for a hassle-free experience.

  3. Handwashing Quirk (7/10): Despite being machine washable, the sneakers proved a bit finicky to wash. After a machine wash, I found myself resorting to handwashing to ensure all stains were removed. This was a huge inconvenience.

Conclusion: The Vessi Women's Weekend Sneakers land at a respectable 7 out of 10. With their winning combination of fit, style, and waterproof technology, they make a great addition to your wardrobe. Keep in mind the drawbacks, especially the lace situation.
