Vessi Alta High Top Review: Cozy Winter Boot with Waterproof Protection

Let’s dive into the Vessi Alta High Top. Spoiler, they’re a great winter boot that combines waterproof protection with the comfort and style of a sneaker. Becca and I both own these boots, and they’ve become our go-to winter footwear.

Here’s what I mean: I’ve started wearing my Alta High Tops as soon as it snows at home, and I reach for them whenever there’s a chance of winter weather during our travels, too. They’re perfect for everything from city exploring in cold weather to actual snow adventures. I like wearing them when shoveling the snow.

Let’s dive into the details.

Why I chose the Alta High Top

After experiencing the success of other Vessi styles, I was curious about their winter boot option. The Alta High Top caught my attention because it promised the warmth of a traditional winter boot with the comfort and style of a sneaker.

What makes the Alta High Top special

The Alta High Tops have great traction on the bottom to avoid slipping on ice and snow. They’re perfect for winter and snowy trips, providing the warmth and protection you need for cold weather adventures.

Unlike those clunky traditional winter boots that feel like you’re wearing bricks, Vessi’s winter styles are surprisingly lightweight. The breathable knit technology means your feet stay comfortable all day, even when it’s wet outside. These don’t feel like traditional winter boots.

Here’s the best part: you get all the winter protection you need without sacrificing style or comfort. These boots prove you don’t have to choose between staying warm and dry and looking good!

100% waterproof protection

These boots keep your feet completely dry whether you’re walking through rain, snow, slush or mud. No more worrying about wet socks ruining your day! When we lived in NYC, our feet would get soaked walking into huge slush puddles there.

Lightweight and breathable

Unlike those clunky traditional winter boots that feel like you’re wearing bricks, Vessi’s winter styles are surprisingly lightweight. The breathable knit technology means your feet stay comfortable all day, even when it’s wet outside. These don’t feel like traditional winter boots.

Great traction

The soles on the Alta High Tops have excellent grip. Winter is a slippery time though, so these are good for crunchy snow and slick parts, but really nothing is a match for black ice or super slick surfaces.

Stylish and versatile

These aren’t your typical bulky winter boots. The sleek design means you can wear them with jeans, leggings, or even dresses and still look put together.

Sizing and fit considerations

The Alta High Top also runs big, given that Becca wears a 6 in those as well. I found the men’s Alta High Top to be true to size, wearing a 10 as usual. Keep in mind that with winter boots, you might be wearing thicker socks. If you have feet that run on the wider side too, I would probably size up.

Do I recommend them?

The Alta High Tops are perfect for winter and snowy trips. They’re great for everything from city exploring in cold weather to actual snow adventures. I like wearing them when shoveling the snow.

The best part? You get all the winter protection you need without sacrificing style or comfort. These boots prove you don’t have to choose between staying warm and dry and looking good!
