VIVAIA Shoes Review: Are the Trendy Shoes Worth It?
Dec 6, 2024
VIVAIA shoes are everywhere right now. Maybe you've seen an ad on your Instagram feed, or maybe your friends can't stop raving about how comfortable the shoes are, especially if you have bunions. The popular brand is known for its fashion-forward shoes made from recycled materials including plastic bottles. Oh, and did we mention that you can machine wash most styles?
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles, Paper and Apparel Lab, we wanted to see if these shoes lived up to the hype when it came to both comfort and sustainability. In the Lab, we've tested everything from the best flats for work to the most comfortable dress shoes. So far, we've tested eight VIVAIA styles including flats, heels and boots — five of which I tried out for myself.
The best VIVAIA shoes
VIVAIA Margot 2.0
Now 29% Off
Not only did the Margot 2.0 flat impress our judges enough to earn a GH Sustainable Innovation Award, but it's also our pick for the best fashionable shoe for bunions, thanks to its stretchy, knit fabric that's available in over 50 colors and patterns.
"The insole has more cushion than most of my other flats, so they’re comfortable to wear all day long, even when I’m walking all over the city," says Home & Apparel Reviews Analyst Amanda Constantine. Both Constantine and Textiles Lab Senior Analyst Emma Seymour enjoy adding VIVAIA's removable bows to their flats for a two-in-one shoe. Textiles Lab Product Analyst Grace Wu loves these fun bows too, but she notes that they may shift as you wear them.
