🪶 Lightweight and cushioned — perfect for busy school days and active weekends
🙌 Pull tabs = easy on and off for little hands
🧼 Machine washable (because puddles happen)
🌱 Vegan & PFAS-free = good for your kids and the planet

The Sale Scoop:
✔️ Save up to 40% off select Vessis
✔️ Get an extra $25 off when you add a second pair
✔️ Hurry — sale ends Sept 1 at 11:59 PM PST

Back-to-school style, all-weather protection, and a can’t-miss sale? Yes, please. Whether it’s your kid’s new go-to sneaker or a comfy pair for yourself, now’s the perfect time to stock up.
