Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 482 reviews.
Love our Theese. This is the 3rd pair (for both my sister and I) When I received the email that they were closing their business, I jumped at the chance to order another pair for myself and my sister. It saddens me that small family run businesses can't keep their head above water. Those are usually the best to support. Hopefully Theese can try again, one day soon. Thank you !!!
They look and feel great
Had this in blue and had to get the black as well. Great versatile sneaker.
These shoes are super cute & seem like they would be extremely comfortable, but I ordered my regular size, but they fit quite small & I can barely get them on my bare feet. They are impossible to put on at all with socks on. My coworker ordered 2 pairs in her regular size, & lives them, but mine just don't fit. Unfortunately, they were a final sale due to the company's closure, otherwise I would have returned/exchanged them because I think I would love them otherwise.
Haven't had a chance to wear them very much yet but they look good and fit well.
Love these shoes!
Great waterproof shoes. Theese are my second pair.
These are great shoes, nicely waterproof and comfortable, such a shame you'r going out of business

These are exactly what I wanted from the older white keds trend. They are comfy, cute, wide toe box, but don’t make my foot look awkwardly big. They do get dirty but comfort and style are absolutely a win! Love the waterproofing for all season and a tad warmer than the other waterproof brand. The laces are also not obnoxiously long and you feel the cushion. Plays, they are hands free, with some wiggling they slide right on, no need to bend down. After trying them for a couple months I ordered a back up pair on sale :D
Bought men’s Purpose in white, size 10, perfect fit, love the easy slip in, can’t wait to wear them on vacation in 2 months. Thinking about getting the Flow State also.
I love these shoes. They stay waterproof and are comfy enough to wear all day!
These shoes are great! I've been wearing them every hike we've done over the last week and today I took them hiking 6 kms up streams and my feet didn't get even slightly wet.
Second pair as this pair will be for commuting to work and 1st pair for travel. Biggest takeaway is upper material provides flexibility for different occasions, white side sole is more scuff resistant and comfortable ( and not hot) for all day wear if necessary .
Very comfortable and love that they are waterproof too.
Les plus confortables 👍
Im a wide foot girly and Im a normally 6.5, size 6 was perfect! Comfy and good basic pair of shoes
Love all of the Theese shoes. So sad you are closing.
A wider toe box would be nice.
Love this brand and sad to see it go!
This is my husbands second pair, he loves them!

It is quite comfortable except I've got blisters wearing this running shoes on the back ankle. The shoes are water resistance for sure. It also lacks the breathable inside the shoes making it extra warm.
This is my third pair of shoes from THEESE!! Needless to say I am a huge fan of the shoes. I am very active and this purchase has allowed we to have a casual and a sporty look. I have had many compliments since getting these a last pair of THEESE!
I only took Theese for my trip to Italy.
Great for everyday wear! Ordered the black ones, I can’t keep the white ones clean! But wear them anyway!
Great fit and comfort.
So comfortable from the first time wearing. Usually new shoes need breaking in but Theese, comfort from the beginning
Great for wide feet and keeps them dry.
Love THEESE! A great waterproof shoe that is comfortable and functional and looks good too!
Great shoes, as usual! Will order more while I still can!!!!!
They’re my second pair, they do keep your feet dry in the rain! Fit is pretty good but the heel could be a bit tighter as I have a narrow heel… but thicker socks help. A bit higher arch would make them perfect!
Theese shoes are the only ones comfortable enough to wear barefoot, and truly waterproof! Tested them in a “few” puddles!
Nice comfortable shoes. Bonus of being waterproof makes them great for travel. I wear mine on my sailboat where they have good grip on dry and wet surfaces.
Excellent and comfortable
Excellent foot wear
I love my Theese shoes. These are my second pair. I wore my first pair solely in Greenland and Iceland and realized how great they are.
I have Vessi and Theese and I feel most comfortable in Theese. I used them on my trip to Italy for 20 days. They also don’t turn grey in color.
These are narrow shoes and for some reason the comfort and fit was different from right to left. Left foot is totally fine but it seem the right shoe mid arch area (on the left side of the right foot) is elevated or something making it drastically less comfortable.

Most “waterproof” shoes use coatings or stitched seams that eventually leak (and make your feet sweat).

You get the protection of a boot, with the lightweight comfort and everyday look of your favourite sneaker.
3. Will my feet get hot or sweaty?

Dry brush them to remove any dust and dirt. You can also use lint rollers to remove any sediments. Apply a generous amount of foam cleaner directly onto the dirty area and brush until clean. Repeat and rinse.

No sprays, no maintenance, no loss of waterproofing -- they’ll keep doing their job, rain after rain.
