The other day, my six-year-old cousin (and also my mini-me) said,
“I can’t wait to grow up so I can wear heels.” Throughout life,
sky-high pumps
were one of my biggest wants as well — until I discovered that
blisters and cramped toes were a part of the package deal. But
what if I told you it didn’t have to be that way. What if there
was a heel that looked fabulous while feeling as comfortable as a
sneaker? Well, there is.
Meet
Vivaia’s Running Heels. The shoe, clothing, and accessories brand prioritizes
style, comfort, and sustainability. But their heels are what really captured my attention. The
Running Heels come in three various styles; the
square-toed Melody pro, the
round-toed Julie pro, and the
pointed-toed Scarlett. Each variation is crafted with a nearly 2-inch heel height,
breathable knit upper, deodorizing insoles, and a plush backing.
Together, each element creates a heel so comfortable, they feel
like sneakers.

There’s also no shortage of styling options when it comes to the
Vivaia Running Heels. Whether you go with the square toe, round
toe, or cylindrical heel, each one is elegant and adds
sophistication to your outfit. Simply pair them with
blue jeans
and a white tee for a casual look, or wear them with a
sleek black dress
for an elevated ‘fit.
I own three various pairs of these running heels and have worn
them upwards of 12 hours at a time. Since snagging my first pair,
the Vivaia Running Heels have been my go-to comfortable shoe and
have never given me blisters — not even when I wore them straight
out of the box. There have been times where I even ditch my tennis
shoes for these, because they’re just as nice on my feet but 100
times cuter. I’ve commuted to work, ran around the office, and
have even danced in these heels. If I had to, I bet I could even
run a race in them.
The heels have a $97–$145 price tag (depending on the selected
style and color), however, the lowest priced shoe is so popular,
it’s already sold out. But shoppers say they’re “
well worth the price,” and I can attest. Shop some of my favorite styles below, along
with the
full lineup on the Vivaia website.
