From sparkly pumps to ultimate comfort the evolution of my heel game.

Since my early childhood, I’ve harbored a fascination for heels, a passion immortalized in a photograph of my 5-year-old self donning my mother’s towering boots. However, the allure of heels took a hit around the age of 15 when I discovered their potential discomfort, courtesy of a pair of sparkly homecoming pumps that left my toes numb. Despite this revelation, I was unwavering in my commitment to my preferred footwear and was determined to find a solution. Recently, I stumbled upon the perfect answer to my heel-related woes.

A truly exceptional heel seamlessly blends comfort with practicality, and I found both of these qualities in Vivaia, a footwear brand that has crafted my go-to pump—the Melody Pro. This particular style exceeded my expectations to the extent that I comfortably walked, danced, and even ran for over 12 hours in it. I was so impressed that I’ve secured three different variations of this fantastic design. Adding to the acclaim, the renowned Naomi Watts has bestowed her stamp of approval on these sneaker-like heels.
