Trending eco-friendly footwear brand VIVAIA is now in the Philippines
Most shoe styles like heels and boots often prioritize fashion over comfort, but there's one brand that offers a refreshing alternative. VIVAIA, a US-based brand known for its stylish yet incredibly comfortable shoes, has finally arrived in the Philippines with its first pop-up store in Manila.
We're pretty sure you've come across an ad for VIVAIA on your social media pages and saw several Hollywood celebrities sporting those cute knit shoes. Now that it's in the country—specifically in Power Plant Mall—you can try them on yourselves.
VIVAIA focuses on "conscious comfort," creating shoes that are both fashionable and kind to the planet. Crafted from eco-friendly materials like recycled PET plastic bottles, sugarcane EVA, and rice husks, these shoes are as good for the environment as they are for your feet.
Some VIVAIA shoes feature a diamond-padded insole that feels like walking on clouds. It evenly distributes your weight, saying goodbye to uncomfortable pressure points. Plus, these washable insoles are infused with natural artemisia argyl for a fresh, odor-free experience.
The outsole is crafted from sugarcane EVA, offering incredible shock absorption. At 108g, these shoes are a featherweight dream—that's 30% lighter than your average flats.
The best-selling Square-Toed Margot Mary Jane flats are available in the store. It comes in black, navy, red, forest green, nude, espresso, denim, nude peach and black, and tweed.
Also available at the pop-up store are the Almond Toe Tamia Ballet Flats, Pointed Toe Addison Slingback Heels, Round Toe Chunky Heels, Unisex Sneaker Sliders, and Pointed Toe Kitten Heels.
Expect a touch of luxury with prices starting at P5,890 for flats and P8,570 for heels, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship and sustainable materials used. VIVAIA shoes are designed for all-day wear with features like "wide-foot friendly" designs and easy-to-clean options, including machine washable styles.
A few bags such as The Trapeze Tote, The Daily Tote, and The Casual Crossbody are also available.
Their pop-up shop is on Level R2 Bridgeway, Power Plant Mall, Rockwell, Makati. Don't miss out—the store is only here until March 31. But fear not, online shopping is always an option.
