It started like many travel discoveries — a friend swore by them. We were sitting in a small café in Vancouver, swapping travel horror stories about wet socks and heavy shoes. She leaned in and whispered, “You need Vessi shoes in your life.”
At first, I was skeptical. I’ve tried “waterproof” shoes before, and they always left my feet sweaty, sore, and feeling like I was wearing portable aquariums. But she insisted these were different — lightweight, breathable, and actually waterproof.
Fast forward three weeks later, I had my first pair: the Vessi Everyday Move. I took them on a month-long trip that covered rainy Scotland, sunny Greece, and chilly Prague. Here’s everything I learned about why Vessi shoes might just be the best travel shoes you can own.
For me, travel shoes need to tick four boxes:
Lightweight — so they don’t push my luggage over airline weight limits.
Waterproof — because rain doesn’t care about your itinerary.
Comfortable — for walking 10+ miles a day.
Versatile — so I can wear them with jeans, shorts, or even a casual dress.
Vessi claims to deliver all four, and after wearing them for over six months, I can say they live up to the hype. The magic lies in their Dyma-tex® knit technology, which keeps water out while allowing airflow — meaning you don’t get the swampy-foot syndrome that comes with many waterproof shoes.
This is my current favorite. It’s sporty, snug, and has a slightly firmer sole — perfect for long city walks and light hikes.
Weight: Super light; I barely notice them in my carry-on.
Best for: City explorations, urban adventures, light trails.
Travel example: Wore them through the cobblestone streets of Florence and didn’t once feel sore-footed.
A bit more casual, these are great for warmer climates or beach towns.
Best for: Laid-back vacations, sightseeing days, café hopping.
Travel example: Perfect for my trip to Santorini — stylish enough for photos, tough enough for sandy paths.
Minimalist and sleek — this is the one I’d wear for urban trips or travel conferences.
Best for: Business trips, city travel, and days where you go from meetings to exploring.
Travel example: My go-to in rainy Tokyo.
Vessi shoes typically retail for $135–$160 USD depending on the model and style. Occasionally, they run promotions or seasonal sales where you can snag them for a bit less.
They ship to multiple countries, and shipping is often free in North America.

I didn’t realize how often I encountered wet conditions until I started wearing Vessi. Here’s where they saved me:
Unexpected rainstorms in Edinburgh.
Slushy sidewalks in Prague during December.
Dew-covered grass during a sunrise hike in the Scottish Highlands.
Accidental puddle jumps when running through airports.
With traditional sneakers, any of these would have meant soggy socks and an unplanned shoe-drying session. With Vessi, my feet stayed bone dry every time.
When you’re traveling, you can’t afford to have your shoes give up on you halfway through the day. I’ve walked over 12 miles in a single day in Vessi without blisters.
The soles are cushioned but firm enough to support long walking days, and the knit material stretches with your feet, making them comfortable even when your feet swell on flights.
One thing I didn’t expect was how easy Vessi shoes are to pack. They squish down flat in your suitcase without losing their shape. That means I can pack a pair of sneakers and sandals without sacrificing space.
Travel shoes get dirty, but Vessi makes cleanup ridiculously easy. Most dirt brushes off once dry, and for serious messes, you can rinse them under a tap — yes, even the inside — without ruining them. They dry quickly, so they’re ready for your next day’s adventures.
Pros:
100% waterproof
Lightweight & breathable
Stylish enough for multiple outfits
Easy to clean on the go
Cons:
Not ideal for extreme hiking (stick to casual hikes)
Limited color options compared to some brands
Rainy sightseeing in Paris — Kept my feet dry and stylish.
Beach boardwalk in California — Sand didn’t stick inside like it does with mesh sneakers.
Hiking in light rain in British Columbia — Great grip, no slipping.
Airport dashes in New York — No heavy-foot fatigue.
Absolutely. For me, they’ve replaced my regular sneakers entirely for travel. The combination of comfort, waterproofing, and versatility makes them an investment that pays off trip after trip.
If you’re tired of choosing between style, comfort, and practicality — you might just find your perfect travel shoe in Vessi.

6 responses to “Why Vessi Shoes Are My Travel Go-To”
I travel for work constantly, and Vessi is my secret weapon. I’ve walked through Montreal in the rain and LA in the heat with the same pair — no blisters, no sweaty feet.
My Everyday Classics survived 10 days of non-stop walking in Italy — cobblestones, rain, you name it. Zero foot pain. I’m never traveling without them again.
I bought my first pair of Vessi Everyday Moves last fall for my trip to Quebec City, and WOW — walked in the rain for hours and my socks stayed bone dry. Totally worth the price!
Love how you mentioned packing them flat! I fit mine in my carry-on for a Mexico trip and still had space for sandals and heels.
Reading this brought back memories of running through Seattle in a downpour last winter. My Vessis didn’t let a drop in. Best travel shoe decision I’ve made.
Totally agree on the easy cleaning. I spilled coffee on mine at an airport and just rinsed them in the bathroom sink. Looked brand new in an hour.
