<\/p>\n
Vivaia has a large selection of shoes to choose from all of which are made from recycled plastic bottles and natural materials. I selected two pairs of shoes from their website and I’m going to be sharing my honest review of both. Let’s get into it…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My first impression upon receiving the shoes was how neat and natural everything was, from the packaging down to the shoes themselves. Everything is 100% recyclable, meaning the materials can be converted into other reusable materials.<\/p>\n
Friendly Reminder: If you don’t plan to keep the shoe box, tissue paper, and other packaging materials make sure you place it in a recycling bin as opposed to tossing it in the garbage.<\/p>\n
Inside the shoebox, you’ll find a message informing you how many plastic water bottles were recycled to create the shoes you’ve received as well as a card with care instructions. All of Vivaia’s shoes are machine and\/or hand washable, environmentally friendly, sourced directly from nature, and carefully crafted to minimize their impact on the Earth.<\/p>\n
I found both pairs of shoes to be very well-made, comfortable, and stylish. Below you’ll find my thoughts on each pair and how I styled them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chocolate Brown Boots – I’m wearing these boots in a size EUR39 and they fit true to size; close to a US8.5. These square-toe boots have a soft and stretchy sock-like material, a funky shaped 2.2″ heel, and they’re very comfortable and so easy to walk in. These shoes are hand-washable, made from 12 recycled plastic bottles, natural latex insoles, and carbon-free rubber outsoles. I chose these in the color Chocolate Brown, but they are more colors available in this style.<\/p>\n
I think these shoes are so fashionable and chic! I can style them with so many pieces from denim, pants, skirts, and dresses. Their chocolate brown color is a great neutral for easy styling and they can stay in my shoe collection for years and years. I can see myself wearing these boots a lot in the fall and winter months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cream Ivory Loafers – I’m wearing these loafers in a size EUR39 and they fit true to size; close to a US8.5. These loafers have a classic silhouette, timeless style, and they’re incredibly comfortable and lightweight. The material of these loafers is stretchy, antimicrobial, and breathable so they’re the ideal shoe for warmer weather\/climates. These are machine washable, made from 6 recycled plastic bottles, natural Artemisia Argyi herbal insoles, and carbon-free rubber outsoles. I selected this style of shoe in the Cream color because I love light neutrals for spring and summer. They are available in more colors.<\/p>\n
I think these shoes are ultra-comfortable and so lightweight, it doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing anything on my feet. I appreciate that they’re antimicrobial and breathable because it gets extremely hot here in southern Texas during the summer months. I like that I can style these with absolutely anything because of their classic style and neutral color palette.<\/p>\n
My overall thoughts and review of Vivaia and their footwear are genuinely positive. I think this brand is doing a great thing by being conscious of its impact on the planet and making efforts to be as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible when creating and designing its products.<\/p>\n
