5 Reasons to Get the Vessi Stormburst for Your Next Day Hike

 

You may have seen the Vessi Stormbursts on social media or on an ad here and there. Is it really worth the hype?

I’ve worn the Vessi Stormbursts on my last few trips. I took it with me to Taiwan, Iceland, Sedona, Salt Lake City, and have hiked over 15 miles in them total. I can confidently say, I really like the Vessi Stormbursts.

I need to mention that everyone’s feet shape is different and while some shoes work for some, those same shoes may not work for others. With that said, here are some reasons why you should get the Vessi Stormburst for your next hike.

5 Reasons to Get the Vessi Stormburst for your Next Day Hike

  1. Vessi Stormbursts are waterproof shoes: I’ve worn them hiking in the rain, hiking through waterfalls, walking through rivers and they have kept my feet and socks dry.

  2. Vessi Stormbursts are hightops: I love that the original Vessi Stormbursts are high tops or they hit right above the ankle. This gives me great ankle support especially on hikes with elevation. It is very similar to that of a hiking boot which I prefer. (However, if hightops are not your thing, they also now have the Stormbusts without the high ankle support. You can choose which styles work for you!)

  3. Vessi Stormbursts are easy to clean: Walking these shoes in Sedona definitely turned them red. I was concerned on whether the redness will come off, but after a great clean, the red came off with little to no stain, which is amazing!

  4. Vessi Stormbursts has foot grip: There is good gripping on the bottom of the shoes to provide traction when hiking. The traction is good for any day hikes or shorter hikes. (If you plan to do longer hikes (10+ miles), backpacking trip, or a hard trail with different terrain, the traction on these shoes may not be the best option). They do work well with overlay traction grips. I wore these on a glacier hike in Iceland with the ice cleats over and they work just as wonderful.

  5. Vessi Stormbursts are comfortable: These shoes really are comfortable. I’ve worn them through airports also, walking on the streets, and they are very comfortable on my feet. I haven’t gotten a blister from these. I also never had to wear them in. They feel easy on the feet which I appreciate.

Additional Reasons to get the Vessi Stormbursts:

  • Easy to put on and off. I rarely have to redo my laces. The shoes really just fit my feet.

  • Lightweight. I like that the shoes are lightweight. It makes it easy on the feet especially when it comes to walking distance.

If you’re on the fence about getting the Vessi Stormbursts high top, I highly recommend them. I personally like them and they’ve become my go-to for day hikes and shorter hikes. I’ve traveled with them and I continue to enjoy wearing them.
