Read More I’ve been delighted by how fun, kicky and devastatingly comfy these shoes are. Lourdes Avila Uribe is a senior staff writer at HuffPost covering shopping trends, lifestyle and new products. Available in a shocking number of colors and patterns, these truly lightweight flats have a square toe, a V-cut upper silhouette and soft, flexible and subtly ribbed fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. I generally lean towards leather flats and was wary that the fabric would make the shoes look and feel cheap or basic, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. And while I’ve seen a few shoe brands out there (like Rothy’s) that have similar designs and fabrics, I think the Vivaia shoes look much more elegant than their counterparts while still providing ample comfort. They really nail the aesthetic in a way that competitors haven’t. I’m also very excited that they are washable, which is ideal for dealing with city grime. “Put them on for a wedding at 4 pm, took them off at 2. 30 AM without any discomfort or pain. Liked by everyone, color true to picture! Highly recommended!!!” —Gabriella R. “Comfortable and very stylish. I’ve bought 2 more pairs. As a woman in her late 70’s it’s nice to find these shoes.” —Daun M. “I love these flats! The first pair of not sneakers I’ve been able to wear without bunion pain in a long time! I’m so happy I tried them. My normal size, but in wide, is the perfect fit. I wore them several hours for a wedding, and they’re comfortable to make it through my 5-hour workday on my feet as well. I’ll be buying more for sure.” —Laura S. “So pretty and comfortable. They fit perfectly and look great with the long skirts I wear. It’s like walking on clouds.” —Susan P. “Okay. So. I was veryyyy sceptical because there where so many ads! BUT I jumped the gone and bought the margot’s in black. I cannot believe how comfy they are. And they are SO well made and keep your foot secure. I followed the size chart and sized half up because i need more toe room (i did not get the wide version but normal and these fit perfect!). I also have chronic Tendonitis in one of my feet and these shoes actually make it feel better on the absolute worst days. And they are stylish too!” —Yesmin S.
