Vivaia’s chic knit flats come in an impressive array of colors and patterns, wide sizing and a round-toe option. No matter which style you pick, these shoes are made with an antimicrobial and machine-washable material, a cushioned heel and an insole that offers high rebound and arch support for all-day comfort.
These are a major favorite shoe for senior shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe, who calls these Vivaia icons “devastatingly comfortable.” Plus, the shoes now have the coveted APMA approval.
Here’s what she previously had to say about them: “Available in a shocking number of colors and patterns, these truly lightweight flats have a square toe, a V-cut upper silhouette and soft, flexible and subtly ribbed fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. I generally lean towards leather flats and was wary that the fabric would make the shoes look and feel cheap or basic, but it couldn’t be further from the truth.
The square toe feels edgy without being too aggressive, and the v-shape adds a some unexpected of visual interest. Best of all, the springy insole and sturdy rubber outer sole make them great for long walks or days spent standing.”
