If you’ve been here a while, you know I’m a huge fan of VIVAIA — sustainable, comfortable, stylish footwear that actually looks good with real outfits. I recently added three new pairs of VIVAIA boots to my wardrobe, and after testing them out on long walks, travel days, and everyday wear, here’s my honest review.
1. VIVAIA Ryan Chelsea Boots – The All-Season, All-Outfit Boot
Model: Slip-On Square-Toe Ankle Chelsea Boots “Ryan”
These boots quickly became a staple. The square toe adds a modern edge without being flashy, and the slip-on design is so practical. They pair with everything — jeans, trousers, dresses, skirts — and are perfect for rainy city days thanks to their water-repellent finish.
Sizing: True to size; forgiving upper for wider feet.
Best for: Everyday wear, travel, changing seasons.
Why I love them: Stylish, practical, and surprisingly weatherproof.
2. VIVAIA Filipa Knee-High Boots – The Chic Winter Staple
Model: Round-Toe Stretchy Wool Knee-High Boots “Filipa”
These boots instantly solve the struggle of finding knee-high boots that actually fit your legs comfortably. The stretchy wool shaft hugs your calf without squeezing, and they’re warm without being heavy. They somehow combine the sleek look of a classic boot with the comfort of a sneaker.
They’re incredibly elegant with dresses and skirts, but they also slip perfectly under wide-leg trousers. The silhouette is timeless, and the wool material adds that cosy winter touch without compromising style.
Sizing: True to size; very calf-friendly thanks to the stretch.
Best for: Winter outfits, cool-season travel, everyday wear.
Why I love them: Warm, flattering, and comfortable for real walking — not just posing.
3. VIVAIA Everly Chunky Platform Boots – The Statement Travel Boot
Model: Round-Toe Chunky Platform Travel Boots “Everly”
These are the boots you choose when you want a little attitude with your comfort. The chunky platform sole gives height and a bold silhouette, while still keeping things stable and easy to walk in. The rounded toe and smooth finish make them surprisingly versatile — they work with skirts, dresses, straight-cut jeans or wide-leg trousers.
They also feel significantly sturdier than some of the more delicate knit-based styles, which makes them ideal for travel, city exploring, or days where you might be on your feet a long time.
Sizing: True to size; platform sole gives a confident, grounded feel.
Best for: Travel, work, street-style outfits, colder seasons.
Why I love them: Bold, comfortable, and durable enough for many seasons of wear.

- Want a classic everyday boot for city life? → Ryan Chelsea Boots
