I can’t tell you guys how many winters I’ve spent with wet feet. Every single year I get into this mindset that I can make it through both fall and winter with whatever shoes I already have, and try to save myself some money by not buying new ones.
I can’t even count the ways in which my logic makes zero sense. Firstly, I live in Vancouver — a place where we outdo our own records for rainfall year after year. Second, shoes cost a hundred dollars, maybe two and I probably spend that on other stupid things (read: snacks) just the same. Third (and not at all last but honestly who has time for the full list), I walk literally everywhere. So imagine me, walking to and from work and everywhere else I go through the fall and winter months, wandering along with soaking wet feet. It isn’t fun, and I don’t know why I do it.
But enough about my own lack of common sense because I’ve finally discovered the answer, and just in time for fall. You guys, I kid you not, these are the holy grail of shoes and the solution to all your problems.

Vessi has created a super cute knit shoe that’s somehow completely waterproof. It’s lightweight (it legitimately weighs less than your phone), breathable and goes on as easily as a sock, but you can quite literally go and stand in a bucket of water (which yes I have done) and not feel a single drop of water. It’s magical and it doesn’t make any sense, but you just gotta go with it. Oh, and did I mention that they’re insanely reasonably priced for the quality?
Vessi is Canadian owned, which makes sense because they just get it. Vancouver has this laid back, west coast style where it’s all about comfort and practicality. We’re minimalistic and like versatility, and that’s what these shoes are all about. They’re vegan, unisex in design and honestly go with everything. I’ve worn them to the gym, to whistler and around Vancouver, be it with dresses, leggings, jeans, skirts or shorts. They work with everything in your closet and in any kind of weather. Sure, they might get a little cold in actual snow, but they stay cool even on warmer days and always keep you dry.
These shoes are magical and you will love them — the gushing is all too genuine.
And trust me when I say I get it — every single day you read ads by magazines, companies and bloggers who have been paid to post about a product that they may or may not love but certainly would never admit the latter to. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to roll your eyes, but I honest to god just love these shoes. I haven’t been paid for this, nor do I need to be. These shoes are magical and you will love them — the gushing is all too genuine.
So if you’re ready to take the plunge and get your hands on a pair of Vessis, let me be your inside guy. Using code ‘hoodiexo15’ at checkout will instantly give you 15% off, so you can try these babies out for yourself and see just what I mean. Pick a colour, place the order, then go stand in a bucket of water. Cheap thrills, but I guarantee you it’s a great time, and certainly way more fun than walking around with wet feet all winter.
