Anyone who works in healthcare knows these jobs can be hard on the body — especially the feet.
That’s why high-quality footwear is key.
Enter Vessi, a waterproof footwear brand praised by healthcare workers, including nurses, for their foot health support and other features that make them practical for work and beyond.
“These are comfortable and reliable for working 10-hour shifts as a nurse. Great shock absorbers that get me through my shift easily,” said Vessi customer Althea R., in one of many testimonials endorsing Vessis.
Practical features
Vessis are an ideal choice for nurses and other healthcare workers because they’re:
- Comfortable: Healthcare workers work notoriously long shifts — sometimes upwards of 12 hours at a time. Pain in areas of the body including the feet, legs, and back can happen if proper footwear is foregone. The good news is that Vessis are built to support 8- to 12-hour days of standing, and their cloud-like cushioning midsole keeps you comfortable from first step to last.
- 100% waterproof: Messes happen, especially in a healthcare setting. Vessis are designed to endure the worst of them with their patented Dyma-tex® waterproof knit, which enables water, spills, and unexpected messes to bead right off. Unlike other waterproof materials, Dyma-tex® is lightweight, breathable, and flexible.
“As a nurse and mom, they can be used for waterproof safety at births or walking to school in the rain!” said Vessi customer Angela B.V.
- Easy to care for: If your Vessis need a refresh — whether from a messier shift at work or from routine wear — simply toss them into the washing machine. Some Vessis are machine washable, meaning that keeping them hygienic (and appearing in tip-top shape) is a cinch.
- Stylish: Not only can you wear Vessis at work, but you can sport them before and afterward. Consider them your handy, work-to-life (and vice versa!) shoe.
- Simple to slip on and off: Yes, this is good for convenience, but it also reduces the transfer of germs — which is key when you work in healthcare.
- Discounted for healthcare workers: Nurses and other healthcare workers receive 20% off sitewide with ID.me verification.
Popular styles
Fan-favorite styles from Vessi include the Weekend and Pacific collections.
The Weekend Collection is available for men and women, as well as kids. They come with lightweight, cushioned midsoles and an upper portion that is crafted in a breathable knit. Color options range from classic white and neutral tones, including beige to pastels, and brights like green and pink. What’s more, shoes in this collection include sneakers as well as a Chelsea boot style.
Vessi calls its Pacific Sneakers “the most versatile shoe ever,” which means they can handle your long-haul travels as well as everyday errands closer to home. Whether you’re wearing them to bike to work, during the big meeting (and throughout your shift), or walking the dog before bed, the Pacific Sneaker is truly made for everyday and everything. Like those in the Weekend Collection, these shoes have a lightweight cushioning midsole and a breathable upper knit. Available for men and women, the Pacific Sneaker offers shoes in classic neutrals, such as white and black, as well as limited edition hues like the grey-green Grotto colorway.
If the insoles offered in your Vessis don’t work for your health needs, simply swap them out (they’re easy to remove) for your preferred insoles or orthotics.
With Vessis, versatility is the name of the game, helping healthcare workers check off their to-do lists in functional waterproof kicks that are also comfortable while on — and off — the clock.
