Teachers who verify with ID.me get 20% off at Vessi, plus up to 2.0% cash back on top, confirmed directly on ID.me Shop rather than a secondhand list.
Vessi makes waterproof shoes, including sneakers, boots, and slip-ons, built around its own knit material designed to keep water out without feeling like a rubber boot. The company sells direct to shoppers online rather than through other retailers, which is also why the ID.me-verified discount and cash back route matters here more than a typical in-store teacher rate.
How To Get The Vessi Footwear Teacher Discount
Start the ID.me verification from Vessi’s own discount page on ID.me Shop rather than looking for a code on Vessi’s own site. ID.me confirms your teaching employment, a process most teachers finish in a few minutes, and once verified the 20% discount is available to apply at checkout. Shopping through the ID.me Shop link before you buy also earns up to 2.0% cash back on the same order, stacked on top of the 20% rather than instead of it.
ID.me draws its teacher eligibility the same way across every store it verifies for: classroom teachers, principals and assistant principals, college or university professors, and other school employees all qualify, while retired teachers and teachers with expired credentials do not. A homeschool teacher qualifies only by submitting a valid teaching certificate during verification, not just a homeschool affiliation.

Q&A
Does the discount work on sale items?
ID.me does not carve out an exception for sale pricing on the Vessi listing, so there is no reason to expect it is blocked there, but check the total before you pay to be sure.
Do I need a school email address to verify?
No. ID.me verification runs through its own document and identity checks rather than requiring a school-domain email, which helps a teacher whose school email is not set up for outside logins.
Can a substitute teacher use it?
ID.me’s own eligible list is not limited to full-time classroom teachers by title alone, and school employee is one of its standing categories, though ID.me makes the final call on any individual verification.
Is the cash back automatic once I am verified?
Cash back through ID.me Shop tracks by starting your visit to Vessi from the ID.me Shop link itself, the same way most cash back portals work, rather than being automatic on any Vessi purchase regardless of how you got there.
Does a retired teacher qualify?
No. ID.me lists retired teachers among the titles that do not qualify for its teacher discounts, Vessi included.
More Information:
Stack the two together rather than picking one: verify once with ID.me, then shop through the ID.me Shop link so the visit is tracked for cash back, and the 20% discount applies at checkout the same way it would if you had skipped the cash back step. Since Vessi sells only through its own site, this ID.me route is the actual discount mechanism here, not a workaround to a better in-store deal.
