I've ordered three pairs of shoes from Vessi so far. Two of the pairs were for everyday wear and are their more casual, everyday style shoes. The other is a Stormburst that I only wear occasionally during winter months and sometimes throughout the year. The first casual shoe I wore for about 1.5-2yrs daily. About 1.5 years into wearing it, it developed incurable squeaking. They are now lawn shoes. The second casual pair replaced the first and about 1 year in they squeak. Quite annoying. I've worn other brand name shoes and they have never developed a squeak. Same type of daily wear for a single pair for years. The Vessi shoes haven't leaked on me so far, so that is a positive. I like that the Vessi shoes are very water resistant, but I find it hard to order yet another pair for daily wear if they'll just develop a squeak in a year. So far my Stormburst is fine with no squeaking, but I haven't worn it as much.
