Vessi Weekend Sneaker Review: Lightweight Waterproof Comfort for Travel

Let’s dive into the Vessi Weekend Sneaker - a lightweight, waterproof sneaker that combines traditional sneaker comfort with 100% waterproof protection. For both me and Dan, the Weekend Sneaker runs the smallest of what we’ve tried.

Why I chose the Weekend Sneaker

I opted for the Weekend Sneaker because they look good. I have tested them in outfits with dresses, jean shorts, leggings, pants and joggers. I find that they’re super easy to slide on and off, and they go with mostly anything.

What I like to avoid, in choosing which shoes I take on a trip, is ones that look bad in photos. That’s because I’ve been there. I’ve looked back on vacation photos and cringed at how my running shoes were the only shoes I had taken and how weird they looked with what I was wearing.

First impressions and initial testing

When the Weekend Sneakers arrived, I was immediately impressed by how lightweight they felt. The Dyma-tex® material felt soft and flexible, not stiff like traditional waterproof materials - which was a pleasant surprise.

Here’s what I found: for the Weekend Sneaker, they fit perfectly in a 6! I would say that for both me and Dan, the Weekend Sneaker runs the smallest of what we’ve tried. I would say that on the whole, Vessi shoes run big, but unfortunately, it’s also style by style that varies.

What makes the Weekend Sneaker special

• 100% waterproof Dyma-tex® technology that keeps feet dry in any weather condition
• Lightweight and breathable design that doesn’t feel like traditional rain boots
• Sneaker-boot hybrid style that works with everything from jeans and leggings to dresses
• Vegan and PFAS-free materials

Waterproof performance

In these photos taken in a rain puddle, my Weekend Sneakers have water beading up on all the waterproof material. I tried to get a photo of them with splashes, but they repel water so fast, I couldn’t even do it.

The waterproof protection was equally impressive. We walked through puddles that would have soaked my regular sneakers, and my feet stayed completely dry. The water beaded up on the surface and rolled right off, just like the other Vessi styles I’ve tried.

Perfect for travel

Shoes like the Weekend Sneaker look cute and casual with outfits from sweatpants to dresses. They’re great for travel because if there’s rain in the forecast, you can minimize the shoes you bring and have Vessi shoes double as your walking shoes or sneakers for wet days.

Quick takeaways

• The Weekend Sneaker runs the smallest of what we’ve tried
• They look good and go with mostly anything
• 100% waterproof protection that actually works
• Lightweight and breathable design
• Perfect for travel when you need one shoe that can do it all

The Vessi Weekend Sneaker is a great choice for travelers who need waterproof protection without sacrificing style.
