Ways to style your Vessi Waterproof Shoes for Summer

2023-04-17 by Lindsay Nieminen

While they are best known for fall and winter in Vancouver, I personally wear my Vessi shoes all year long! They are comfortable, and durable. No matter what the day throws at me, whether it is shopping, hiking, a day at the beach, or chasing a soccer ball, my feet will be dry! If you are anything like me and hate wet socks, then these waterproof shoes are for you!

My Favorite Features of Vessis

PROS:

  • Waterproof: Yes they are actually 100% waterproof. I would not wear them every day if they were not
  • Comfortable: They offer all-day comfort and slip on easily. They are what I grab first when I walk out the door!
  • Durable: My kids cannot seem to wear these shoes out! The tread is fantastic and perfect for any wet or slippery ground

CONS:

  • No half sizes (I fit into a women’s 7 just fine so it was a nonissue for me. I typically wear a 7.5 or 8)
  • Stock goes in and out (these shoes are popular! VERY POPULAR! If you are picky about a certain color and see them, grab them when they are in stock.
  • My kids cannot seem to keep them tied up.

Vessi for Travel

My Vessi Weekend Sneakers come with me on almost every trip. Here they are in Costa Rica paired with a pair od wide leg linen pants. They came in handy in the pouring rain and traversing wet grasses! Their tread was perfect for slippery stairs and muddy slopes, I did not slip once! I love the color for travel as they do not show dirt. You can see the same pair I have here

Dress up those Vessi Shoes

My boys are one-pair-of-shoes kind of kids. It works for us and look how cute their Vessis look with formal wear on our Alaska cruise!

Vessis for Camping this Summer

Legit there is nowhere that these Vessis do not come with me! They were perfect when camping on the river in BC. The white ones look great with jeans or summer dresses. I also always wear mine to places like White Rock. We take a wagon full of gear for the day and it is easier to wear my shoes down to the rocks and sand instead of slipping in sandals.

Vessi for Hiking

We do not do the kind of hiking that requires hiking boots. Our Vessis do the trick hiking in and around British Columbia. Their tread is durable and long-lasting! In a year, my kid’s shoes still have tread on them and kids are tough on shoes! With our rainforest-like weather, our feet are always dry no matter where we hike in BC!

Lindsay Nieminen

I help families travel boldly.

Whether that’s exploring Jordan’s epic sights, road-tripping through Central America, or finding adventure here at home in Canada, I believe kids don’t hold you back — they give you a better reason to go.

I specialize in:

  • Adventure travel with kids
  • Travel to misunderstood destinations
  • Realistic family itineraries for kids of all ages

When I’m not traveling, I’m likely driving someone to practice or running a food tour company in Amman.

Welcome to Carpe Diem OUR Way — where we seize the day as a family because time is not promised.
