I'm a Canadian....living in Ottawa, the nation's capital. I wear a 38 narrow....and would very much like to support a company going the extra mile to help the environment as well as their customers. A great combo! Love the black pointed toe flats; plain , simple and classic....also loved the last pair of slides with a heel in nude. Great for all summer neutrals. Thank you for your very informative review.

[@Jimberollifer]

Amazing review, so informative and a huge help when deciding whether or not to purchase a pair and what style to go for. Thank you!

[@mademoisellejaime]

So glad to hear!

[@cristinafrancisco6773]

Thank you for this video and review of Vivaia shoes. They look incredibly comfortable and stylish. And the fact that they are made of recycled materials is a big plus. I’m an EU39 and would love to enter the draw for the Donna loafers.

[@adali7489]

Thank you so much for your review and coupon code! I just ordered the cutest flats that have 🐝 happy on them and the sling backs! Can't wait!

[@adali7489]

I also wanted to say I love how detailed you are and all the tips of why the shoes are great or not THANK YOU!!!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I would love to hear what you think of your shoes! I was wearing my Minnie flats over the weekend :)

[@alhassaniakhouiyi8105]

Just placed my first order and I have 2 in my wish list 😂 Thank you for your review, very helpful ❤

[@mademoisellejaime]

So glad to hear this was helpful! Hehe I hear you - they have loads of lovely styles on the website :D

[@christineleonard6042]

Great review Jaime I would love to try the Donna if I'm lucky enough I am a EU 40 usually and my foot width is average. I am a bit wary to order if I choose the wrong size and have to return them as that would add to the cost and time wave. I also love the Minnie square toe flats as I prefer the look of the block heel. Too many to choose from they all look interesting and different.xx

[@barbarahallowell2613]

Thanks for the great review and information 😊 I have the Tamia Walkers in black (best travel shoe ever!) and the Aria 5.0 in red and almond, OTHER best travel shoes ever. 😊 I found you because of loafers I think. I soooooo wish they still had the Donna, so up my alley, exactly what I was looking for. The closest thing they have now is the Michelle pointed toe bow loafer. All the color ways are two toned to give that piping vibe, so black with ivory is the only option. I strongly prefer the more subtle would go great with a smoking jacket vibe of the Donna. Bummed I found you and the Donna to late. 40 narrow size. 😊 Ahh, maybe they'll bring them back. I hope so 😊

[@TeresCorner]

I can’t wait to get my first pair of shoes soon! 😍

[@mademoisellejaime]

Eeee I hope you love them as much as I do!

[@brendaoquin]

Excellent review and details. Thank you.

[@amberballard7694]

I loved the loafers! I'm gonna head over and check them out. I also really love your white blouse! Unrelated to shoes, I made a t-shirt purchase from Withcery. I'm excited to have it and hope it's the perfect tee! Hope you're doing well! Talk again soon.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks so much Amber! Ooh and exciting - curious to know which one you got and your thoughts. I have a black modal tee from them tucked away in storage which I'm looking forward to getting back out once our renovations are over. And same to you xx

[@tigrezz0852]

Oooh thanks so much for this review Agapi mou, I have been meaning to get a pair but I couldn’t decide on the shade.. yes 1st world problems 😊 I hope the family is doing okay.. have a great weekend ahead! 🙏🏼 Filakias 🥰

[@mademoisellejaime]

Haha that is like me with so many things - distractions always get in the way. Same to you! Hope you're having a beautiful start to your week xx

[@karenporteous3626]

Love them all ! I do think they're very stylish but also I think most things would look stylish on you !

[@mademoisellejaime]

You're too kind - thank you!

[@brendamurray7688]

So excited to learn about this brand. I’m a EU40 so would love to go in the draw.

[@shannonspark2209]

Great video, thanks for the detail! Had been pondering a purchase 🙌 I am an EU39 and would love to go into draw.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I just ordered my first two pairs of Vivaias, a black sock boot and a two-toned, low heeled pump. I’m looking forward to trying this brand, at last. I was hesitating about the recycled plastic material, I wasn’t sure how breathable they would be. They do have some plant-based materials now and half-sizes, at least in these two styles.

[@mademoisellejaime]

I'm very curious to hear what you think when your shoes arrive. They're so flexible and I've found even on the styles I got a little on the smaller side, they are so comfortable to wear. And yes, so cool seeing that they've introduced Hemp into the mix! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2023! xx

[@TheKihkihkih]

I would love to go in the draw please Jaime :) Also, the sling backs are 😍😍

[@anettejohannessen4686]

I have wide feet and have been trying to find sustainable shoes so your video came at a perfect time 😀

[@mademoisellejaime]

Ah brilliant!!

[@janedelaney4327]

Bought three pairs. The Minnie, Aria 5 and the Jade square toe slides. I have narrow feet so I hope they work for me. Thanks for the coupon code.

[@carolynnmathisen8754]

I’m addicted to the Margot 2.0. I have bunions and neuropathy and the squared toe and wider toe box is so amazing

[@mademoisellejaime]

That is so good to hear - their shoes are so comfy!

[@sarahturner3594]

Hi there! Im a 39EU with wide foot and would love to go in the prize draw. I have been looking at this brand since your last video that you mentioned them in, it looks great!

[@gloriousacinorev]

This brand looks so promising. I'm from Australia as well and I love discovering beautiful fashion brands from your channel. The loafers are gorgeous and would like to join the giveaway being a size eur40. Thank you.❤️

[@maliksutton6634]

Nice review of Vivaia shoes and really chic just your style, I was to the two loafers and slingbacks. I think the slingbacks are more elegant and seen you feature them a lot on Instagram 🔥

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks Malik! Hehe and yep, a big fan of the slingback over here 🙊

[@mlleEster]

I’m a true 39 and I would love to sample them!!! 😊 I’ve been eyeing the brand for a while thinking If I want a couple of pairs

[@sophiascobey]

Thank you for the review!!! I’d love to enter to win those black loafers😍

[@christopherarmistead2550]

Amazing shoes, I have wide feet and also a have a bunion as well. I like them and I need to try a pair of them to see of my bunions feel better wearing them. Thank you so much, such a wonderful video love!! 💖👠

[@TheNicoliyah]

I got a pair of these and am really loving them too

[@mademoisellejaime]

They’re great aren’t they? I’ll often wear my aria5s around the house in place of my slippers. So comfy 🙊🙊

[@TheNicoliyah]

@@mademoisellejaime Ha ha yes they are was walking for miles on holiday in mine. Want to get another pair but love them all so much can’t decide which ones to get next so ur video is helping me out!😉😂

[@nathy144]

I’m a size 39/40 and would love to enter the giveaway! Thank you for your thorough review of the shoes, super helpful!

[@melissac.5948]

I’ve been wanting to try Vivaria shoes for a while now. What are they like when you get caught in a rainstorm?

[@mademoisellejaime]

I wouldn't recommend wearing them when it's wet - they are made of yarn so water will come through x

[@billiexluxury]

Just wondering if the jade square toe sandals (the very last pair) are easy to walk in or do the slightly slip off your foot? Thanks

[@mademoisellejaime]

Hi! I find them really easy to walk in. They don't slip off but if that's something you're worried about you could always get those sole grips for the pad of your foot :)

[@bryndatan972]

Thank you for introducing me to this brand 😊 I am EU39 with wide feet 🦶 would love to try the Donna Pointed Toe loafers out if I get the bonus give away 😊

[@Hello-Stoiko]

Imagine walking dog in Aria! I have flat feet but I ordered because such a chic pair of shoes.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Yes!! That's what I would do hehe. Curious to know what you think - the soft padded insole makes them very comfortable x

[@garcon42]

I like soo much this shoes Style.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks!

[@ilariama82]

Thanks for the video! I purchased a pair of Aria 5 in my size (39) and unfortunately they were way too small (I have a narrow foot but I am also pregnant 😅), it's a pity cause I really liked them. I would purchase again but I am hesitant as I would have to try multiple sizes and the delivery takes a long time (also the return is not straightforward for most EU countries though I have to say their customer support was excellent).

[@mademoisellejaime]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope it’s been relatively smooth sailing so far ❤️ shoes are definitely the most tricky thing to order online. I’ve heard from a number of people that their customer service is fantastic. Hopefully they’ll fit you post pregnancy 🤞🏻 I do find that the yarn tends to give a little after wearing them for a few hours too x

[@ilariama82]

@@mademoisellejaime thanks a lot Jamie! Tougher pregnancy this time around but still very grateful for all my body is doing ☺️ have a great day!

[@hijlaa]

Ugh yes their return policy is what keeps me from ordering a pair. How much did you have to pay for a return?

[@ilariama82]

@@hijlaa actually they let me keep the shoes and gave me a refund anyway, unbelievable!

[@hijlaa]

@@ilariama82 Oh that is actually really good! I once had to return to the UK and it was not cheap, to say the least.

[@EshaBhide]

Could you wash these and let us know? I got a size 7.5 and it's just slightly loose. I'm wondering if the shoe shrinks at all in the wash. Should I size down?

[@wendyp8488]

I’ve washed the Aria 2.0 and the Vienna in my washing machine and then air dried. Neither shrunk. I take a size 8 shoe and their size 8 fits me perfectly.

[@tigrezz0852]

I wonder if there is a big difference with size 7 and 7.5? I have narrow/average foot but my left is slightly meatier lol

[@olkaolka9092]

I preferred aria 2. They messed up the design and sizing of aria 5 so I'm waiting for them to send me a different size. They are good shoes though.

[@mademoisellejaime]

I haven't tried the Aria 2 so can't compare, that said, the Aria 5 has been so good for me (size-wise/comfort-wise etc) so I don't have any complaints. Shoes can be tricky though as there are so many variables!

[@luna_time5694]

OMG yes please I'm a 39 and would love to enter. 🙏🥰🥰

[@RinaDasler]

Can you use them at work 8-10h shifts mostly standing/walking? Thx

[@mademoisellejaime]

Yes absolutely! x

[@Norkhog]

How supportive do you find them? I’ve been having foot pain issues even sketchers are painful at the moment. I love the style but they’re expensive so don’t want to take the plunge if they’re not supportive!

[@mademoisellejaime]

They have some cushioning in the sole, and as someone who occasionally gets bursts of planta fascia, I have no issues. Certain styles have more inner padding than others and I think they do a decent job of showcasing this on the website. That said, I wouldn't know or be able to definitely recommend them if you are having serious problems with your feet. I would maybe look to a brand which specialises in shoes for those with podiatry issues. Two brands that come to mind are Bared and FRANKiE4

[@Norkhog]

@mademoiselle thank you! I'll check them out, I'm having a hard time finding stylish buy supportive shoes in the UK!

[@jeanne8264]

Sorry, havent heard about the sizing. Are they true to size ?

[@mademoisellejaime]

If you have wide feet I would recommend sizing up either a half size or full size if you have wide feet or a bunion, too. Still with regular size if your feet are narrow. All shoe styles have some guidance (which includes measuring your foot) and I've found this to be really accurate

[@renafielding945]

I don’t like the pointy toes. My vivaias are green and square toed and I love them, but my right foot still hurts. It’s just me, though.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Definitely not for everyone, I think that their square toe options are great too! I'm really liking the new Maryjane square toe flats. Very cute!
