VIVAIA SUSTAINABLE SHOE HAUL 🤩 | NOT sponsored! Wide feet sizing & comfort

[@LuMiLevelUp]

Checking out some older Vivaia videos in preparation for my own collab 😁💕

[@StyledByGwenny]

Congratulations Mary! 🤗 I love mine, I just need to get my hands on the boots now! 👢💕

[@ameliarosescloset]

Love the pink, i have to tiger ones in the round toe and love them. I wear both of my pairs A LOT and have no difficulty at all recommending. I also love rose forever and Idyl, and love how you addressed the sponsorship issue head on x

[@StyledByGwenny]

Agree 💯 RECOMMEND! A couple of people have mentioned the over-the-knee boots, so I'm here to petition you to do a review/styling video on those PLEEEEASE!!! 😉 Let's speak more about our sponsorships and the weirdness we turn down 💖 x

[@KimberlyFairchild58]

Oh goodness what a journey for those shoes! I bought a pair also and while I need more support, I see why you like them! I’m going to try a small arch insert. I love the different colors you chose, they are very “Gwenny”. Have a great week! So nice to see you. 💖🥿

[@StyledByGwenny]

It was definitely a bit of a mission to get to me! 📦🥿🥿 I've got at least one flat foot(!), strong arch support gave me plantar fasciitis! Is it nearly the weekend yet? 😘

[@gdkarma]

Yay a Gwenny video!! ❤ Super cute shoes and they look so fabulous on (I’m sucker for an animal print shoe). They remind me of Rothy’s - which makes similar flats out of recycled bottles. I just spied your ankle tats for the first time and LOVE them!

[@StyledByGwenny]

Sorry I've been AWOL again! Hopefully normal service will now be resumed 🤓 I just looked up Rothy's, they're very similar, I might have to give them a try too! 😉 My little art deco fans? I forget they were there! 🪭 💕

[@VeronicaCid]

Yay Gwenny is back! Cute shoes and they do look super comfy! Glad you were able to get your shoes. I will definitely give them a look when I am ready to buy some flats! I am totally having a boot moment right now!

[@StyledByGwenny]

Same here with the boots... but I'm desperate for it to warm up enough to be able to wear these shoes out and about! Let me know what/when you go for! 🤘💖

[@melxx4035]

I honestly have to say, idyl jewellery was everywhere on everyone’s channel at one point, and that was getting silly 🤣 😆but I love how you addressed this, and have given an honest review about these shoes. We trust your opinion Gwenny because you’re one of the few genuine ones no bulls*#t from you 😂👌🏽☺️💖💖

[@StyledByGwenny]

I'm glad you think that Mel, that means a lot to me. 🤗 Funnily enough, I edited out a bit where I said "this is a NO BS channel!" because the whole bit was really repetitive, but I'm happy you see it! 🚫💩🚫

[@corikay]

Lordy I have missed you!!!! Love the shoe video! Funny, my favorite pair on you were the pink Melia’s! The cut out on the inside of the arch made it sit so well! I didn’t see the gap when you bent your foot like I saw on the others. I think the gapping would bother me. Have the pink ones broken in? Are they still creating a blister? Lastly, I know you ordered a 38.5 …is that your normal size or did you size up? I’m leaning towards ordering the Melia based on what you reply…Thanks Gwenny!!! Please pop in more often!!! 💖💖💖

[@StyledByGwenny]

Sorry I've not been around! 🥺 Oo you don't feel the gaping at all, just cozy comfort! 🤗 No more blister issues with the pink Melia's, it was a first-wear, night out dancing, one-off ouchy! They're definitely the more elegant design. In all styles I took my usual UK 5, which was the 38.5, they've got a really good size converter on the website. Let me know what you go for! 😏📦💕

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Gwenny, the style of the pink ones is called d’Orsay. Not what Vivaia calls it, but that’s what is is when there’s a cutout. Hope that makes sense. I love how Vivaia fits. I have the same wide feet and I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I can walk in these and wear them and walk pretty well in them and definitely recommend them too. I want to get a few more styles.😊. They have great styles and great quality in my opinion!

[@StyledByGwenny]

And this is new information I didn't have before... VIVA INFORMATIVE COMMENTS!!! 😘 Have you tried the little kitten heel? I think that's next on my list! 🤩💕

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

@@StyledByGwenny I would like to try the chunky heel, they look like I might actually be able to walk in them. I mean, as in walk to the car and walk to a restaurant! I’m not going far in those!

[@petshopgirl39]

A great review. I’ve been a bit late to the Vivaia party and only just recently ordered a pair of Regina Pro boots in the Bordeaux wool colour and a pair of Margot 2.0 in forest green. They are fantastic! I have wider feet but the normal width is fine for my feet. I’m a size 42 in the boots and a 41.5 in the Margot. I used the Vivaia size charts, measured my feet and followed the advice to size up in the boots. My only criticism is that the boots really cannot be worn barefoot inside. I walked to my local charity shop in them, a 10 min walk each way and got blisters on each 4th toe. Socks or tights are definitely needed. But I love the style and they are very comfy to wear. The Margot are fantastic. The right shoe was a little tight in the toe box initially but that’s fine now. I wear very thin socks or opaque tights with them in winter. They are so comfortable. I’ve just ordered 2 more pairs in ruby red and navy and together with a wash bag, got a discount so £136 all in with free shipping too. I was a bit nervous ordering initially as every influencer and their brother is pushing Vivaia at the moment. But you’re actually right - these are very good shoes and the product lives up to the hype. Shipping has been reasonably quick - about a week usually to arrive. I expect I’ll buy more pairs esp in lighter colors come the spring.

[@StyledByGwenny]

Thanks love! Oo that's a good shout about the boots, I probably would try them barefoot too. It can be a little overwhelming and/or off-putting when you see the same brand over and over again, but I said it in this video and I'll say it again: as a small KZbinr it's great to have the chance to try these products out and give my viewers an honest opinion of them. And I loved them! Next up, a pair of boots (to wear with socks!). 🤗

[@MariaLouiseLovesLuxuries]

Awesome! I have had those black pair with the leopard in my cart for ages! 🖤😍 Great video! Xx

Maybe it's time to check that cart out? 😉📦💕 x

Hi Gwenny!! Your new shoes look extremely comfy! I think the tiger ones are my favorite! I've always said you can't go wrong with having a cat, cause they are just the best ever!💕☺️🇨🇦

I just ordered my first 2 pair of Vivaia shoes. I ordered the pumps and the wedge shoes. Fingers crossed I will love them. I have 4 pair of Rothy’s so I’m pretty sure I will like this brand as well.

[@StyledByGwenny]

I've heard Rothy's are similar, I hope you like your Vivaias as much as I do! ✨

[@maureendesmond5642]

Hi Gwenny, I finely got to wear these shoes. I was cohosting my son and daughter-in-law baby shower. It was at a venue that we rented but, we did all the rest. I was there at 8:00 am and got home by 4:00 pm. My feet were killing me especially around the big toe base. Plus, the bows I got with them both fell of at certain times. The no show socks were great! Just thought I would let you know what happened.

[@StyledByGwenny]

Oh no! I'm sorry you had that experience with your new shoes, that's a long ol' day for a first-wear. I really shouldn't have gone dancing the first time I wore my pink ones! Ouchy! I hope you've had the opportunity to wear them again since but with better results! 💕

[@camiscloset2369]

Hey Gwenny! Good to see you. Unfortunately I have such crappy feet, bunions and extremely narrow, that I can’t wear flats especially pointy toed. They are adorable. Enjoy them! 😊

[@StyledByGwenny]

Funny, I couldn't wear pointy flats because of my wide blocky feet! 😂 Have a look at their round-toe with a slight heel, I've got my eye on a pair... always got my eye on a pair of shoes! 😉💖

[@blt565]

I like the black ones with the leopard cat, they are cute. The pink ones are your color, the cut out on the side, dresses them up.

[@StyledByGwenny]

It's such a cute design! They have another with a kitty cat outline that I'm trying not to buy... and another with a black cat & pumpkin... And I agree, the cut on the pink Melia is more sophisticated. Oh dear, I can see another order coming on...! 😉💖😂

Love these shoes! I'm a big fan of wearing interesting patterned shoes with my usually neutral colored clothing. Rothy's is a big name of these plastic engineered shoes in the US and I own too many. Hope you're both feeling 100% now!

[@StyledByGwenny]

Ooo I just looked up Rothy's, they're very similar, I might have to give them a try! 😉 I used to be quite neutral in my shoe choices, but now I'm feeling go BIG or go HOME! 🤘💛💜💚💖

[@traingirl.meghan]

I regret not getting back to them in time when they reached out. I missed the emails they sent, and then I was too chicken to write back so late 🙈These are so cute!! I love a pointed toe, and comfort is a must! I'm curious to try the Aria 5° in the pink 💕

[@StyledByGwenny]

I know EXACTLY what you mean! Teddy Blake reached out again in the lead-up to Christmas but the house move meant I just didn't have time to get back to them. I emailed them a few weeks ago and they asked if I'd like to do something for Mother's Day, but I haven't had the chance AGAIN to get back to them! They must be really fed up with me! 🙈 Let me know if you try the Aria 5° and continue your love affair with pink 💕

[@GH-kx6xf]

Hi Gwen! Great video, I love these flats, they’re so cute ❤ just one question however, As I know you wear shoes like this without a sock. Just wondering that if you wear shoes like this all day barefoot and having plenty of activity, would this not cause you to have smelly feet after wearing them?

[@StyledByGwenny]

Great question! I have to admit I do suffer from smelly feet so I'm always nervous about going sockless in shoes, and these are made from recycled plastic.... but so far so smell-free! I even got caught in a downpour in them and thought "That's done it" but they were fine. Now I haven't worn them in any great heat yet, so that'll be the big test. I hope this helps! 😘

[@GH-kx6xf]

@@StyledByGwenny thank you this really helps 😊 is there anything in particular that makes your feet smell more so than others, like certain types of shoes etc that you tend to stay away from?

[@StyledByGwenny]

@@GH-kx6xf I guess I'm just blessed with stinky trotters! I would usually avoid anything closed-toe without socks. 😷

Hello Ellie! I have been pretty quiet so far this year, busy with house & health stuff, but hoping to get back to normal service now! I ordered the shoes in my usual size and find them to be nice and roomy. There's no real change with Lily's leg, we've registered with the best vet in the area so we'll take her in to meet them soon.
