Ever since I found VIVAIA earlier this year, I’ve been a fan! My collection is quickly growing and I find myself reaching for my VIVAIA shoes often for many occasions. My latest find is the VIVAIA Aria 5, an upgraded version of it’s predecessor. Since it’s launch in early March, I’ve had a bit of time to try them out in effort to share the more honest VIVAIA Aria 5 review. Read on for more!

VIVAIA Aria 5 Review
Most of my wardrobe is very maximalist and consists of a lot of prints, colors, embellishments, and textured fabrics. Therefore, I’m always on the look out for a good simple neutral shoe. The VIVAIA Aria 5 fit my criteria perfectly! The cream is a really nice light neutral that pairs well with literally anything and everything! These flats look great with everything from dresses and skirts to jeans and trousers.
The pointed toe shape is very chic and with the upgrade, it’s VERY comfortable and roomy. I have the previous Aria flat and while I love it, the Aria 5 has much more stretch and room in the toe box. This is good news for those with wider feet, although I do feel that this would fit a variety of foot widths. To be honest, I’ve only had fit issues with only pair of their shoes!
The comfort is out of this world amazing! The shoe molds to your feet and feels like you’re walking on a cloud. I have worn these SO much since I got them and not only are they perfect for everyday but they are great for travel too! They bend so you can easily fit them in your bag for on-the-go (perfect if you’re wearing heels and need a more comfortable option later on). I recently took them on a trip where I did a lot of walking and I had no issues! I was comfortable the whole time and did not end up with any blisters or sore feet.
As for as washing, I haven’t got them dirty enough to wash yet so no experience with that – I will update!
I also recently got some bow clips to pair with them! I saw these on the VIVAIA website and couldn’t pass them up. They come in black and cream so of course, I got both. In these images, I’m wearing the black. They don’t fall off and can be styled so many different ways! They also look super cute with all of my VIVAIA shoes including tall boots, ankle boots, heels and flats.

They are!! Have you tried them? I feel like they’d be right up your alley!
I think you’re the only blogger I’ve seen who talks about this brand – and if you have more than one pair, it shows that you must really like them! I may have to check them out for myself and splurge a little to get a pair. They sound fantastic. And the bow clips are so cute!
They are a newer brand but the shoes are amazing!! The quality, comfort, design elements are perfection. They’ve got a lot of choices – boots, flats, heels, oxfords, etc. You can’t go wrong 😉
I haven’t heard of this but I am so intrigued now! I really want to try them out!
You should! 🙂
Wow! I’ve actually never heard of Vivaia but I am so intrigued. The shoes are so cute and I love to hear that they are sustainable, antimicrobial, breathable and, most of all, comfortable!! Definitely going to check them out.
They are amazing! And they have so many different styles!
I’ve never heard of this brand, thank you for the introduction! These flats are super cute and I’m so glad to hear they are comfortable. I love that they are foldable and washing machine safe. Definitely going to check their shoes out, these would be perfect for the office!
Thanks so much Amanda! They are pretty amazing! So comfy and cute. You’d love them!
I haven’t heard of Vivaia before, but their shoes are adorable! And I love that they are more sustainably made without sacrificing comfort! I need to check them out!
They really are! So comfy too 🙂 You should!
I’ve never heard of this brand before but I literally have a tab open looking through their pieces! I found that they’re sustainably made as well! Thank you so much for introducing me to the brand!
Aw yay! They have SOOOO many cute shoes! And they’re all comfy. I love the sustainability aspect too! Of course <3
I’ve been looking for a flat/stylish shoe with really good arch support (not those soft ones). I read that the Aria shoes have arch support. What do you think?
They have it in the newest version (Aria 5) but it’s cushioned. They are very, very comfortable but I’m unsure of how much arch support you would need so I recommend watching my video above. I compare the older Aria to the newer version and note the changes including the addition of arch support (this starts at the 3 minute mark). I also show the inside of the Aria 5 including the arch support at the 3:45 mark. I hope that helps!! Let me know if you have any other questions <3
