Vivaia shoes

I see ads everywhere for this brand - has anyone actually tried them? What is the fit and quality like?

I bought a couple of pairs - they're comfortable but a bit roomy, size-wise. They really do look great in person, and are kind of what I expected Rothy's to be, before I was very disappointed by them.

I got the cat ones for DD for her birthday. She loves them.

I bought a pair when I had terrible tendonitis one summer. Mine definitely aren’t cute.

I got the ones that look like ballet flats with a strap. I think they are pretty cute and fairly comfortable. They aren’t perfect for me because they are a little too narrow for my foot but they are way better than a typical ballet flat. Quality is good. The ones I have a stretchy fabric so cooler for summer than leather. I wear them to work with dresses when I don’t think I can get away with sneakers with a dress.

Do they have arch support?

Oo, I was thinking about getting those. I have the square-toe Mary Jane Margot: is the sizing the same for the cat shoes? We're expats and I have to order them online.

I have three pairs including pointy flats, round toe flats, and round toe Mary Janes. They are nice enough looking, hold up well over time, and are easy to clean. They don't have much arch support if that is your main concern, though the 'walking' types have more support and cushion. Maybe the best thing about them is that they do not give me blisters where they touch my feet (back of the heel, vamp, etc). I do usually get blisters from any shoes that I wear without socks.

They are great and I plan to get at least one more pair in navy.

I have a pair of the round toe flats with the mary jane strap. I have tiny narrow feet with even more narrow heels, so it's always been difficult for me to find flats that fit well. They are comfortable and I like them to wear to dress up a pair of jeans. So I only wear them for occasions and not all day.
