Viv Classic Low Top Sneaker (Women)

I returned these immediately after they arrived, because the shoe looked hideous in person. Too shiny for my taste, and they look very cheap. Material is synthetic, so I’m sure I could wear them. Comfort is probably the same——like walking on the ground, no support or comfort. Fit is ok. And finally, because of the shininess of the silver color, versatility is limited.

These shoes are a good fit except for being a bit stiff. Hopefully this will relax as they are broken in. They are true to size. I have a narrow foot and these fit with the laces being tightened. I plan to try them out with footies. The heel could be a bit tighter but considering I’m a narrow and the shoes only come in medium, they will be ok.

I love the Viv sneakers, especially in the fun silver color! I live in a city and don't own a car, so I do a lot of walking. On top of that, I have plantar fasciitis. I have a lot of trouble finding casual women's sneakers that are cute and stylish (I don't like overly athletic-looking running sneakers unless I'm actually exercising or hiking) BUT also have support for the amount of walking that I do. Most brands make women's casual sneakers for style only, and without the necessary support for someone who has an active lifestyle. These are comfortable out of the box and my ideal sneaker. I hope Ryka never stops making them!! My only wish would be creating a Viv sneaker that is waterproof/water resistant for people who have to walk in the rain! That would be awesome.
