Waterproof sneaker brand Vessi to open first permanent retail store in Burnaby

Vancouver-based waterproof footwear brand Vessi is coming to Burnaby. It’s opening its first permanent retail store in Metropolis at Metrotown this November.

The store will allow customers to try all available products for size, an interactive water feature to test out Vessi’s 100% waterproof shoes, and some limited edition items that you’ll only be able to purchase in-store.

Vessi sells entirely waterproof shoes that are perfect for those rainy days. Its mission is “to inspire happiness in all-weather by creating everyday wear that gets people out there, rain or shine.”

With over 1 million pairs of sneakers sold, a physical location is an exciting next step for the company.

You can expect to find the store open in November on the Upper Level next to Armani Exchange, occupying the former Call It Spring space.
