For those of you who aren’t familiar with VIVAIA, they are a shoe brand on a mission to create stylish and sustainable footwear that focuses on creating a positive impact on the planet.
Each pair is made by recycling and repurposing 6 plastic water bottles. How, you might ask? Recycled materials obtained from plastic water bottles are turned into spools of thread which are used to knit the surface material for the shoes, creating a signature sustainable material that will last for years to come.
That means each pair of shoes you purchase, helps keep 6 water bottles out of the world’s oceans and prevents them from breaking down into harmful microplastics that can harm sea life.
I began wearing VIVAIA shoes in spring of 2021. My first pair was a pair of loafers in a beautiful light blue color! Currently VIVAIA offers 7 different styes of shoes: sneakers, flats, loafers, mules, sandals, heels, and boots. They also have a mens line!
THE ARIA 5°
One of VIVAIA’s best selling styles is the Aria style ballet flats, which just got an upgraded design-the Aria 5°.
The Aria 5° was designed with your toes in mind! The ergonomic design has a 5 degree wider toe box for a better fit and elegant shape that won’t squeeze your toes.
In the past, I have stayed away from wearing pointed-toe flats because they hurt my toes. Well I am happy to say that this is not the case with the Aria 5°; they are SO comfortable!
In addition to the toe box upgrade, the Aria 5° has a memory foam heel pad (Yay! To no break-in period!), a high rebound yoga mat (TPE) insole, and arch support.
Each shoe is also made with a seamless design, making the construction of the shoes zero waste, and they are shipped directly to you in a 100% recyclable box.
Because VIVAIA is so sustainable, I never feel guilty about wearing them or building a collection of my favorite styles!
